Second Grow: Journal start August 31, Phenomenawesome's 2017 Auto-Cannabonanza in Coco: GSC, LSD-25, Northern Lights, Diesel -Others?
Hello all and welcome to my second grow!
This is going to hopefully be a quickie (10 weeks?) and good time to get ready for winter!
YAY!!
What the heck is Phen doing?
Autos!!
Why? To grow and have some variety while we hunt for top shelf photo moms. We will start that 4 weeks into this grow. The final goal being by end of winter to have a perpetual setup, starting my first run with clones only.
The Strains:
2 - Fastbuds Girl Scout Cookies
2 - Greenhouse Seed Co. Auto Northern Lights
2 - Fastbuds LSD-25 -This is an insane looking plant but sounds amazing.
2 - Royal Queen Diesel Automatic.
I originally was going to use half of the tent only, but since getting the little Mars 300 LED light I can use it to get the mom hunt veg started in the office closet and not waste my flower tent's space or light. I would like to them all to flourish but if I lose a couple
Based on my skill level and what i've seen of others and talking with some folks here i'm going to throw caution to the wind and plant 8 plants. I hope they all do well enough that I'm forced to deal with crowded plants rather than waste canopy space as I did the last grow.
Consumables:
Gen Hydro Cocotek Coco
Gen Hydro Flora Grow
Gen Hydro Flora Micro
Gen Hydro Flora Bloom
Gen Hydro Flora Blend
Gen Hydro Floralicous Plus
Gen Hydro Rapid Start
Gen Hydro Liquid cool bloom
Advanced Nutrients Sensi-Cal (Cal-Mag Supplement).
Got these bags, pack of 50 and GH CocoTek coco:
What I like about these is I proved to myself that 3 gallons is enough medium to hold a fairly large plant. Even though I had 5 gallon smart pots they only had 3 gallons of soil and these bags are taller than wide compared to the smart pots.
Can always make holes if needed but they have them placed well.
Each brick is supposed to make 2 cubic feet. I'm running 8, 3 gallon grow bags which equals roughly 24 gallons of coco....3.2 cubic feet of coco. Initially did math incorrectly so ordered some more..
Equipment
5x5 Apollo grow tent.
Building a little platform that will allow the bags to be off of the floor and able to get a saucer under to catch the runnoff. The easiest thing I have so far is just a rough 2x4 frame with
8" inline fan
24" carbon filter.
AC controlled by home central air combined with a window unit.
1000w mh/hps. Not sure if I should be switching these bulbs or running the whole grow with the HPS for the autos...I'll have to look into this. Note to Self, look into light bulb change for autoflowers.
The tent is going to be moved to another room in the house after the reset. I'm currently doing the preparation for that, getting the I will also be moving a different AC unit to that room a 10k BTU window shaker, and this room freezes in the winter for some reason so all the better.
KISS - using pure coco and GH Grow Micro Bloom base. I wish I could have experienced the forums here longer before starting my first grow but at least I am now a part of the community it really is an honor to learn from some of the world's best growers of cannabis but really there are growers of all skill levels and I appreciate and learn from everyone's experiences. Thanks everyone.
World class bud grown here at 420Mag.
More importantly, I love the support so thanks 420Mag friends and the people that make this site awesome!
I learned so much from my last grow, *technically as of creating this that grow is still happening. Week 9 day 2 of 12/12... cruise control.
*this just got pushed back 2 weeks as I need to go out of town for family in between my current grow and the reset. Germination was going to start this weekend but I'm holding off for about 2 weeks. It's a bummer but for the best.
Let's have another fun ride!
