This will be a general dumping ground for any random thoughts I have, or interesting things that occur during my regular grow, if there are any interesting things, lol. It's a sort of continuation of my Green Hole journal, and meant to be somewhere I can hang out at, so I can satisfy my 420 addiction and don't have to be plaguing the people on the FAQ threads with my 'helpful advice'.
The main part of my grow, as featured in the Green Hole journal, is made up of scrogged plants in 7 to 10 gallon pots using Sunshine Mix. Here are the boring details of the grow. So boring that I will just copy and paste them from the description at the start of my last journal.
JOURNAL NITTY GRITTY
~THE MAIN GROW~
- Alright here is the nuts and bolts of what is going in in the grow room these days.
- It is a 8x12' room overall about 7' high, divided into two rooms -to make a perpetual grow. The outside climate is quite cool and humid year round. During lights-on the thermostat controlled fan kicks in to bring in fresh cooling air from outside. During lights-out the room doesn't generally heat up, so the fans do not come on. RH gets extremely high ( usually in the 80s but often in the 90s ) especially during lights -out, as the temps drop, plants transpire, and no fresh air comes in. I have been in a borderline situation keeping bud rot at bay for years. I recently bought a dehumidifier which is helping with this.
FLOWERING ROOM
- I'm flowering in a (roughly) 8' x8'
SCROG
- I made individual screens 24"x 19". They're supported by aluminum shafts stuck in the pots and I can shuffle the pots around to work though it's a bit cramped. Four screens fit under a light.
POTS
- A mix of 7-10 gallons. The ten gallon ones I only filled with about seven gallons of 'soil' but they are big enough that they hold the supports for the scrog screens well.
PLANTS
In the main grow currently I have growing-
~one Mama Thai - 100% sativa. Unscrogged, topped and then trained by Stage's 'dog fence' technique.
~one Pineapple chunk ( just harvested one)
~two Ace Malawi (just harvested one)
~1 Blueberry. (Seedsman)
LIGHTING
- HPS lights. They are dimmable- one is 300- 600+, the other one is 600- 1000+ (+ meaning the super lumens setting which is about a 10% power boost)
I pretty much always keep the two flowering lights set at 600.
GROWING MEDIUM
- Currently sunshine mix #4 which is basically peat moss and perlite. I've been mixing powdered beneficial fungi and bacteria into it before the plants go in.
- Solo Cups - one rockwool, three coco, and two hempies.
- Water is rainwater which falls out of the sky at 5.6 PH
PH
- 5.8 - 6.2
FLOWERING NUTRIENTS
- Botanicare Power Flower, Grow, Cal mag, and the occasional tea with various beneficial ingredients.
TEMPS
- Currently in the 72 - 80 range
RH
- This is in the 50 - 85% range.
VEG ROOM
- This is a space about 3.5' x 3.5. It's pretty crowded at the moment/as usual. It's a little small for vegging biggish plants. But for now I'm making it work.
VEGGING PLANTS
- Mama Thai, three. Malawi phenos, Blueberry, Pineapple Chunk, a couple Thai Stick- one male and one unsexed, and a mystery sprout..
LIGHTING
- Dimmable MH 300- 600+ watts.
VEG NUTRIENTS
- Basically just the Botanicare grow formula. But when I look in there I see some other bottles I've acquired. This stuff gets splashed in to the mix as well. I'll list them in rough order of how much I use them
Cal mag
Liquid Karma
Molasses
GH Subculture M&B - beneficial fungi and bacteria
Hydroguard - beneficial bacteria
Zho - beneficial fungi
Silica
CLONING
- I do this off in one corner of the veg room, under a cfl. My current method is to take cuttings ' the usual way' and clone in rockwool, but then put the rockwool/ cuttings in a tub of moist coco coir. I don't put a dome on, but my RH is naturally high which maybe accounts for why things are fine without the dome. The coco stays at a happy moisture, generally without any further touching up, during the ten days or so before roots form.
PESTS & PROBLEMS
- No pests in there these days except for me.
Problems, hmmm, yes usually some.

I did buy one lemon skunk seed at one point, and I grew it out and cloned it for a couple rounds. I don't remember how I got the bag of seeds. Obviously not from a male L Skunk, since I only had the one seed. Self pollinated from nanners perhaps? Or maybe it's a cross pollination from another strain and I labelled it wrong...
I'm just about to pop into my room to check my saucers and paper towels to see how my...Lemon Skunk seeds are doing! Tried planting the first directly into soil and it failed, hopefully this will sort things out. Looking forward to seeing what goes on with your beast that feeds your babies, catch up to you later and hope you are well
