So, how's it goin' eh?
Welcome to my third journal since joining this fabulous forum... Sauga's Miracle on Fox Farm Street
I've gained so much knowledge from the previous two, met so many new people, and helped as many as I could from what others passed on to me. It's been a lot of fun, and I really enjoy being part of this fam!
Without more babble here's what's in store for those that don't really care:
Seeds: Yes
Lighting: Bright, hurts my eyes.
Type of soil: The dirty type
Type of water: The wet type
Pot size: I'm not sure. It holds 5 gallons though
Food:
And for those who want to know what I'm really doing then this is what we're going with:
Seeds: 1st Set: Autoseeds Gorilla Glue Auto (x2, it's a set!)
2nd Set: Bomb Seeds THC Bomb Auto (x2, it's also a set)
Lights: 600W HID - MH thru Veg, HPS through flower
Medium: One plant from each set will be in Fox Farm's Ocean Forest. The remaining two will be in MGNC (Miracle Grow Nature's Care Organic Potting Mix). Both mixes have 75% base with 25% MG Sea Compost. The Sea compost is mixed with 2% Perlite for drainage and is in the first third of the pot. The 75% base is on top of that.
Food: MegaCrop - Old formula with brown balls. Using as directed by GN, with adjustments as neeed. No other supplements unless needed, such as Calmag
Water: Initially we will be going with tap water. My rain water supply finally ran out and my barrel cracked it's ass during this cold weather so it doesn't hold water anymore.
Pots: 5 gallon fabric pots
Tent: MarsHydro 4 x 4 x 8
Ventilation: Ac Infinity T6, 341cfm
Scrubber: 6" at the end of run
Game Plan
Two plants will be quadlined, and two will be twinlined. What's a twinline you ask? Well it's a screwed up quadline. I didn't know what to call it but it had to be called something. It's taking off all the growth at the fourth node, which if I recalled caused a single shoot to come up between the third node. That's the part I don't recall, it it was all the growth or all but one leg from the fourth node. Hopefully once they grow out I will remember by looking at them come top time.
This grew out for a few days and was topped again about an inch above the trunk. It was a big enough hole that I could clearly see down the center of the plant.
During the healing, it grew over the opening and sealed it shut, creating a large knuckle and super thick stalks. I'm hoping to recreate this as I found the colas were extremely large and dense and may have been related to that.
The regular quadlines are a comparison for my own information. I haven't had much success growing a good quad yet, from lack of experience, but I hope to nail it this time.
Since these are autos, they'll be going straight into their final home from the paper towel. This will be another test if FFOF or the MGNC soils are too hot for seeds. It's never been in the past for me but I've never documented it either.
Topping will be done between day 15-21 above soil.
So I think that's everything you need to know about the grow. Welcome one and welcome all! Feel free to ask any questions. If I don't have an answer, there's plenty of good people here that we can reach out to.
That is all.
GN, whi makes that, bro?

lol, thanks Preston! Best compliment all day!I thought you looked quite distinguished.
Classy!
I'm very happy with it John. Two reasons...1. it's simple to use. 2. I have 21lbs of it.
A few members I know of use it and if they catch the post I'm sure they can vouch for it's simplicity. I have v1, the older version of MC. There's a new formula out now that some members mention the calcium balls should be crushed down, but I can't speak of that. Dutch and Homer have the new formula.

Totally off-topic, but I’ve been meaning to ask how Missus Sauga is doing? Didn’t she break her leg? All better now?

Thanks for asking HH. She broke her wrist a while back, went through all kinds of complications, and had the cast removed a few weeks ago. She's doing some home therapy trying to get it back in shape. The pan throwing she's got nailed now so it appears she is back to normal.
Again thanks for asking!

Forgot to add that I don't know. I've never used the Fox Farm nutes myself.

It's all good, I learned how to use them last winter. I think that I'll stick with what I know and not change yet. Plus there cheap.
Thanks, have a great day.

The MC is very forgiving in soil. It's very easy to read when getting close to overfeeding, that part I like.

Yup, it's been busy, but I like it like that. I've never been one for sitting around. I always have a project going, however I'm not very good at finishing projects. I actually started a project today to finish off my incomplete projects. It was going well until I sat down.Glad to hear it!You’ve really been running amok lately.
Someone else was using Mega Crop as well....I think it's me.

OMG that's right...! However Kurt tells me he was referring to the new version, and for some reason I, er, he thought you had the same version as Sauga.Someone else was using Mega Crop as well....I think it's me.
But yes, VG uses the MC as well
Lol. I have ver. 2.0.
John was on my lemon og journal yesterday. The one where I transitioned from using Fox farm to mega crop. I may have an opinion on this...
