Tavosvo's LED High Brix Perpetual!
Hey everyone this will be my first journal on 420mag and I'm psyching! I'll be using Doc Bud's high brix (HB) soil kit. The results speak for themselves, please see Curso's or Steppenwolf's journals - they are simply astounding! I've used HB soil once now for a small outdoor one plant run, with awesome results considering inadequate pot size. This time I intend on doing everything just right. This will be my first indoor soil grow, my last was a RDWC that I love but well, look at docs plants, Fuck! I can smell them through the screen! I hope to squeeze my bucket into the 4x4 and run them side to side but I have reservations on a lower brix hydro plant amongst a bunch of HBs in soil!
The room is a second bedroom that I've installed a window A/C in and am about to seal. Minor augmentation of co2 is next, probably around 600-800ppm, as it's also my office!
I'll be vegging in a dr80 with a 300w 11-spectrum. Got it on craigslist LOL no name brand but I've seen a few with similar design. It works pretty good, I did a seed to harvest run with it earlier this year with no complaints. Figured I could see how it does as a veg only light.
Ill mostly veg in square, one gallon pots, but I also have some 1gal airpots I can use as well. Going to use them to keep bonsai moms so they won't be in use too long.
Temps in veg tent have been a steady 81f in the day and 75f at night and RH varies from 40-60%. I won't be doing anything about RH unless I see a problem, seems like we are in a healthy range. Co2 might change that but only time will tell.
For flowering, I found a pretty nice 4x4 tent on Amazon for $115; couldn't resist the deal. It's not perfect and some parts are downright cheap, but nothing a bit of metal tape and ingenuity can't fix. I'll be flowering in 7gal airpots, and if I get too many girls will use a 7gal fabric pot as well.
I hope to harvest monthly after this first harvest where I staggered the plants about 2-3 weeks apart. 6 plants, two or three strains, depending on # of females in each pack.
I went for the cheaper tent because I am now a proud owner of a TopLed Mars II 240x5w!! It's supposed to be delivered this afternoon so I'll be waiting eagerly to open and fire up! Maybe ill do an unpacking photo series and post those along with my setup.
I really have high hopes for this light in my flowering tent!
And now for the best part - strains!
I went a bit beyond my budget to get some of these seeds but oh well they sound like winners to me.

Moonshine Haze (Amnesia Haze x Nevil's wreck)
Gage Green
Blue Flame (Super Blue Dream x Inferno Haze)
Sannie's
Blue Hammer (Blueberry x jack hammer)
Huckleberry Kush (Oregon Afghani x Huckleberry 2012)
Extrema fem (ChemD x Herijuana)
Sour diesel x Lady cane (freebie)
And a whole bunch of other freebie singles and I'm probably forgetting a pack LOL!
I also have a "syntax" mom I was gifted and have a couple clones of that running; one in flower for almost two weeks now and one in veg. The older one looks only 'ok', but the veg one looks great!
I also have two extrema fems vegging now, 6 nodes each, and just started half a pack (5) of the blue hammer 2 nights ago. Things are getting exciting!
So.....I will be following the directions on some girls and breaking rules on others...we'll see how everything goes, I think the experimental feeding schedule might be great but like I said, we'll see!
I will be a good boy and adhere to docs instructions in veg for all plants.

Bloom feed possibility w/ doc new theory - 1/4 strength transplant at every watering, and late flower cat drench:
Transplant 1g-7g veg for one more week, then flip.
Let dry real good for root production
1/4 transplant (soak)
Dry out good
Full strength transplant/energy based on size/stretch/strain (soak)
**Now keeping medium moist**
1/4transplant (light water 1 gallon)
Cat drench (medium water)
Cat drench (light water)
1/4transplant (soak)
Plain Water (light)
Energy (soak)
1/4transplant (light)*
Cat drench** (soak)
Plain water (light)*
Finish on Energy
Harvest
* double watering- depending on strain
**Cat drench at week 8 on 10 week strain, maybe week 6-7 on an 8 weeker
So that's my planned (crackpot) feeding schedule.
Thanks for stopping by, let me know if I forgot anything. Criticism, comments, and marijuana banter welcome!
Can't wait till things really get rolling!
