Hello, welcome and THANK YOU!
I tossed the idea around in my head a bit then after discussing it with a friend,we came up with a name (while smoking and talking about the grow) and decided it was worth the effort.
This journal will be much like my other current journal except it will be focused Solely on Suzanne our Purple Bubba Kush from greenpointseeds
Here is the rundown of the setup
What strain is it? Purple Bubba Kush
Is it Indica, Sativa or Hybrid? What percentages? Mostly Indica
Is it in Veg or Flower stage? Veg Day 18
If in Veg... For how long? Day 18 above ground
Indoor or outdoor? Indoor
If indoor...Dimensions (L x W x D) of grow space? 2'x4'x'70"
Soil or Hydro? Soil
If soil... what is in your mix? Roots Organic Original
If soil... What size pot? 2.5Gal DIY SIP
Size of light? 2 150w A/C Infinity IONboards (This may change as our grows progress)
Temp of Room/cab? 78F
RH of Room/cab? 54%
PH of media or res? have not checked as of yet
Any Pests ? fungus gnats
How often are you watering? Top watering Nutrients at feed times otherwise topping off res after water level drops
Type and strength of ferts used? Roots Organic Bottles
Here is Suzanne today at DAY 18 ABOVE GROUND
To put into perspective on how special Suzanne is look at her counterparts in the picture to the right.
Both the plants in 1Gal pots to the left of her came above ground the same day as her (top) and a day after her (bottom)
The only difference being that after a Rapid Rooter Suzanne went into a SIP the others went into Solo cups.
Since then, the waterings, feedings, care, love and attention have been the same.
The results have not!
Now that you understand why your here let's go over how exactly we got here.
Of course, you could go catch up on my Current Journal in order to do so in greater detail.
As I said today is Day 18 above ground
She was started in a shot glass on 11/23
She went into a rapid rooter after a tap popped and came above ground on 11/26
She went into her SIP bucket on 11/29
She immediately took off and quickly outpaced the others with ease!
For a write up of how I put my SIP together it is on Page 2 of my current journal.
In this photo you can see none of the plants started the same day as her are near her size or maturity.
Until now she has only received 1 feeding. And has only received water with either SNS or plain R/O.
I did add a mosquito dunk to the res to fight the fungus gnats we've had since we opened the bag.
They've been a bother but haven't caused too much trouble other than a nuisance.
But I am determined to rid them from my garden.
Suzanne has an impressive amount of under growth.
She went untrained even LST until 12/12. I tucked her largest fan leaves under to allow for the first 2 nodes to continue their impressive growth.
Then 12/13 I topped her and cut those largest fan leaves off, also tucking the now largest fan leaves to allow more light at the top 2 nodes.
The Plan is to do a quadline on her only I will be waiting to cut the first 2 nodes off until I can clone them.
This journal will follow Suzanne and her clones to harvest.
If your familiar with my other journal, I have multiple tents.
I think to be fair to the new equipment and really see this thing through Suzanne will stay in the 2x4 AC tent all the way until harvest.
And because of her size already that tent will be flipping over on her schedule.
I am trying to start a perpetual cycle and Suzanne has stepped up to be the first of what will be many runs with her.
I have also decided that it's obvious Suzanne (This pheno of Purple Bubba Kush) really likes this SIP.
So, the clones we take from her will also be put into SIP's that are yet to be built.
I really enjoy my design and will build more, but I do like a few other nuances that I've seen in other builds here on 420 and plan to incorporate them into my own design and possibly replicate other builds all together.
I have a few more pictures to Upload but have hit my limit with this post.
So, the following will be pictures to show where we are at currently.
My hope is to use this journal as a way to highlight and document my growing experiences using a SIP and add to the Library of knowledge here on 420 with this method.
Any questions please don't hesitate to ask. Don't feel obligated to catch up on my other journal just ask away here!
As always Thank you for your time and Thanks for stopping by!
