This will be a journal of my current system. It’s evolved quite a bit since I started up again, after a 20 year break, about 3 years ago. I’ve learned a ton of stuff and met some great people from this forum. Hope you find this interesting. Feel free to comment, follow, hate, or whatever, I’m pretty easy. I’ll try to keep it updated.
I constantly experiment and change things looking for incremental upgrades. I get bored easily so constant change is a must to keep me going.
Tents & Lighting:
Flower Tent #1 - 4’x4’x6’
1x Timber 480QB - 480w 4’x4’
1x Mejei 240QB - 240w 4’x4’
Flower Tent #2 - 4’x4’x6’
1x Homemade 320QB kit - 320w
1x Homemade 185QB - 185w
Veg Tent #1 - 18”x36”x24”
35w T5 fluorescent clones and germination.
Veg Tent #2 - 28”x28”78” Tent with:
1x Sun Grown 185QB 185w 2’x2’
I also have a 2’x2’x5’ tent for drying and a 2’x2’x2’ for bud storage.
My environment changes a lot depending on the weather. One day it’ll be 80% RH and 16% the next. The temp fluctuates between about 50°-70° at night to 78°-92° in the days depending on the seasons.
Growing Methods:
Like I said I experiment so this varies, but I’m also into quick and easy so I always have lots of hempys, I’ve also used Doc Bud’s High Brix soil, and will sometimes be playing with some DWC buckets and someday some dutch buckets.
Nutrients:
For the hempies I really liked and had a good system with MegaCrop & CalMag until they changed the MegaCrop formula, now I’m trying to dial it in again with the new formula. But I have about 20 lbs of the old formula so I mostly use that.
I also use Doc Bud’s soil, and will be using Rx Green Technologies nute system for the DWC buckets and a few hempies here and there.
Growing Philosophy:
Although all cannabis plants have the same basic needs every different strain, chemovar, phenotype, or whatever has different optimization requirements and recognizing and adjusting for their differences is my goal. I often grow several generations of clones and keep trying to find perfect system for each one, until boredom overtakes and I let the clone line die out.
I believe the plant knows how to grow itself a lot better than I do, so I try to pay attention to them individually and adjust to their specific needs. I experiment a lot so sometimes things go bad but mostly I get nice buds in the end.
I don’t really weigh stuff out much, but since I’m journaling and growing other people’s cuts I’ll try to remember to.
Strains, chemovars, phenotypes:
Although they are specific definitions to the plant’s heritage, I feel the words “Sativa”, “Hybrid”, and “Indica” have become more descriptions of the high than of the actual plant. I’ve grown “indicas” that have uplifting motivating highs and “sativas” that put you to sleep. So don’t expect any strict traditional classifications of anything.
I’ll grow just about anything. I smoke a lot and make a lot of topicals and variation keeps the boredom and strain tolerance away. I tend to like Sativa highs in the morning, Hybrid highs in the afternoon, and Indica highs in the evenings.
Current Chemovars:
Dark Devil Auto (DDA) - Ministry of Cannabis - seed
It’s It Punch - It's It Gelato x Purple Punch - Sun Grown Genetics - seed
Black Cherry Punch - Purple Punch x Black Cherry Pie - InHouse Genetics - Dec ‘18 cut
Blueberry - Canuck Seeds - Dec ‘18 cut
Violet Unknown - Unknown OG x Violet Haze - personal cross seed
Unknown OG (f2) - Ghost OG x ?? - personal cross seed
Berrybomb - Blueberry x Bomb #1 - Bomb Seeds - Agemon cut
Peyote Critical - Peyote Purple x Critical Kush - Barney’s Farms - InTheShed cut
Candida - ACDC x Harlequin - Medical Marijuana Genetics - InTheShed cut
Sour G - Sour Diesel x GG#4 x THC Bomb - Rooster Farms - InTheShed cut
I’ve got lots of other seeds that will eventually make it into the rotation and like many addicts I’m always getting more.
Okay get to the fricken pictures already:
Here’s what I presently have growing in the 28”x28” veg tent. The three big ones are Berry Bomb from @Agemon the rest are clones I got from @InTheShed six Candida, two Peyote Critical, and two Sour G.
This is flower tent 1, the two flowering plants are Dark Devil Auto, then there is two Unknown OG, one Violet Haze x Unknown OG, one It’s It Punch, one Blueberry and one Black Cherry Punch.
