Why Not's Platinum Kush Grow

a 1k wattage light will run you over 700 dollars is what I'm saying. you might have 75 to 200 watts there for that price, which is perfect for you. I'm just saying if its not enough at the end of the run, a quantum board is the same price and is about 30 percent better on terms of energy efficiency, so it helps your electricity bill too to keep your bills down :)

I have just added a fan to add to the expense. The Mountainair filter will make a big difference.
I have a tool that can measure draw, I think. More later on this.

Oh, if you mean you too are senior maybe in chronic pain, I am sorry on both counts. Wish I was neither.
I have some spectacular plants underway. Oldbear, I will follow you. Where we going?

I'm 4 4 4 - canadian, senior, retired, disabilities.

My current journey is to grow some outdoor plants so I can minimize LP purchases.

I think it will be me following you - I'm no expert grower, just getting started really.

New Member - I currently have Platinum Kush just beginning the Flowering Stage. I have just ordered Purple Kush seeds.
This is the Platinum Kush just before going to the Flowering Stage at 9 weeks.
Looking forward to the Purple.

Welcome Doo, if you don't mind I'd like to pull up a chair and learn about PK.
Enjoy the forum, great people hang around here. :welcome:

I say save on the hydro bill and leave them out on the deck there!! If you get long enough day light to make it work?

I sneak mine out there when it's not too hot myself.

The Indica girls (my current crop from clones) are now on Jungle Juice Bloom A (4-0-3) and Bloom B (1-5-6), their Flower stage just started. Next week Big Bud (0-1-3) is added (along with Bloom A & B) for four weeks, then in two weeks B-52 (2-1-4) is added for four weeks finally in four weeks I add Overdrive (1-5-4) for the last two. I found an additive on line called Kushy Kush, might try that, depends on this grow. Minimum, I will have to refresh some additives for the next grow. They just came off Jungle Juice Grow A (4-0-0) & B (2-2-6). They liked it.
I have ordered two smaller 7 watt lights for the buds lower down on the plant. The main grow light is (advertised as) 2,000 watts with 200 LEDs, must keep the main light almost two feet above the plant, seems to work very well.
The crop is going to be over 20% THC and big yields. He says hopefully.
I find Indica weed 70-30 at the 20% THC level is what I need to control my pain. Currently, I am smoking Stryker that has a THC level of 20.97%. It works. I figure with the additives and the big LED light, I should be able to surpass this. Of course, I will not have it tested but I will know in short order. As I said, some leaves are the size of my normal sized hand. Plants look exceptionally healthy. Stocks are thick and strong. Should be able to hold up many buds.
On line I did find a plant with 30% THC called Gorilla Glue Bomb, it turned out being Sativa. I need the pain killing properties of Indica. I have ordered Purple Kush Seeds. Any other Indica dominant with high THC you can advise?
My avatar is of a Platinum Kush bud, what I am currently working toward.

Hey Brother I checked CKS THC chart and PK rates in at 24.51% There's a bunch of us trying out White Widow Auto @ 21.10%. WWA is supposed be pretty easy to grow indoors and pretty good yield. But what do I know, this is my first indoor grow under lights myself. Good luck and again, :welcome:.

I calculated around 3 plants will give me my year. I like 70-30 Indica and 20+THC. So I am using the nutrients and my big light to ensure over 20%, or I am not really interested. I am prescribed three grams a day. On bad days I use all 3 grams, on good days 2 1/2 or even 2.
If you grow, you will eventually cause an odour that will attract attention, even outside. Or piss the wife off. If your outside grow is not already underway, it will be small. Growth is depended on the sun, it needs lots. August and the amount of time of the sun decreases, this causes flowering. So get underway on the grow asap if it is outside. Next year ideally have little plants grown to plant outside after the frost is gone. This way you will give it time to grow big before it flowers. Big healthy plants create more, bigger and more potent buds. Small plants don't have the strength or power to do what you want.
Ask me anything, I find out if necessary.
 
I got my Mountainair MA620 Air system installed and operational. Adjusted a support under the plant that broke to a smaller support as the plant was getting too close to the light. Watered with nutrients Bloom A & B and a half of the free just like Voodoo Juice I was given. Again they look great and have new growth at the peaks.

Hey Doo, welcome to 420. I noticed you mentioned you are recirculating your air. Do you have an airtight shed or is there some way that fresh CO2 will enter? It's always good to vent out when you can so you are always changing the air. Your plants will be much happier.

OK, I have the tubing and clamps to do that. Shed has windows I have blocked and a peak vent. I would have to drill a 6 inch exhaust hole in the siding. I put on the list. Body used up for today.

'Body used up for the day', mine is used up by 3pm, shower, no phone calls just plain hurts.
But I really like the way that you put that.

My girls are going out today, it just makes it a little harder in 7-1/2 pots!

I am in the group as well except I stuck them outside in pots . . . and I haven't started a journal for them yet. :ganjamon:

Doo: Welcome to 420.

Why don't you start a Grow Journal so more people can follow along?

Just start a post here: Journals in Progress.

Put the girls to bed. No odour what so ever. Fed them last night, their moisture is still good. Fed Jungle Juice Bloom A & B and some "just like Voodoo" the grow store donated for free. Nice guys, got one more free dose. New growth on all the tops, easy to see as it is yellowish in colour. The older leaves colour is a very dark green, almost purple under the red in the lights. I lowered the broken stem plant to a smaller support because it was getting too close to the lights. I redirected the exhaust air from the Mountainair MA620 system so the plants get slight movement. Still need a fan, Deb is looking. Found a timer and bucket trays at the grow store, not open today.
Was advised to exhaust the air filter to the outside, this will encourage fresh CO2 to be pulled into the shack. When I get a hand to help, I already have the hose and clamps. For the moment, it can't go any better.
I figured the blackout in the shed is no worse than star light, I can barely see, not as bright as moon light. I guess I will be able to tell if it does not flower, it is already smelling nice. Should be good enough darkness.

I am also a HAM, a radio amateur. You have 4 4 4 and caused me to look twice. 5 by 9 would be a message of readability and strength of the signal they are sending out. I hand built my own transceiver. Puts out 115 watts and I have got Japan on it. Just a wire over my house.

No fooling, multiple back and neck surgery's here. I'm down for the count for today time for body to stop now. Looking forward to checking out your girls tomorrow.

Just woke them up for their 12 hours grow light time. Moisture still too high to feed again. Will feed tomorrow. Going to pick up 11 inch bucket trays for the five gallon pails, a light timer and Voodoo Juice or something like it tomorrow. The Voodoo is $107.00/L, a bit pricey. But it will fertilize 100 crops of my size or slightly bigger. It only costs 10 ml Voodoo Juice for the grow. 20 ml B-52, 7.5 ml Big Bud, 5 ml Overdrive, Grow A 15 ml, B 15 ml, Bloom A 30 ml, B 30 ml, under $10.00 will dramatically change your product. I simply take a Litre of water, add the required ingredients and water the plants. One litre could probably water eight plants. I have taken inventory and other than the Voodoo, I will need to replace the Grow B in ten grows, B-52 in twelve
I am keeping an eye on the plant height ensuring 20 to 24 inches from the light. Deb came out to the shed to see the girls, she had no odour complaints and thinks they look good. A few more days and I will take another picture of them.

Good morning Mr Doo!
I think after this report of Vodoo Juice, I will be researching the product more. Thank you.
Today is a good day, body feels rested and ready to be worn out again. I hope everyone has a great growing day today.
Green Day's to all. :rollit::ganjamon:
