Heyyyyyy yoooouuuuuuu guyyyyyyyyyys!
this will be the thread I update with my grow. I used to do a journal with long detailed information and if that becomes desirable to those of you who decide to ride along with me, let me know and I'll put it up here. I keep a handwritten journal for myself on every grow so I will be able, most likely, to create a journal from scratch with all details necessary/desired.
So, without further ado, the specifications of this grow are as follows:
-Area - 4'x2'x6' tent
-Ventilation - 540 cfm tjernlund extraction fan, 6" ducting, passive intake
-Lighting - 2 fluorogrow 4' 4bulb evergreen HO T5 with fulham racehorse ballast, rigged out with zoomed flora suns (≈ 432w) <<----supplemental side light
- Indagro Pro 420 PAR Induction lamp (420w) <<---Primary light
-Medium - modified supersoil recipe based in large part on Subcool's, coot, and 3LB
-Container - starting in red party cups with base mix, perlite, and a ffof
erlite 50/50 blend. The top 1/4" of the cups are FFOF so as to provide a nice dark home for my soaked ceeds. From party cups they will go into 2L bottles (perhaps 3gal buckets), then 5 gallon smart pots will be their final homes. the smart pots will be bottom filled with SS and then topped with my base mix.
-Water - just good ole dechlorinated tap. I usually set up a 15 gallon reservoir with air stones bubbling so i've always got fresh, dechlorinated, well oxygenated water available.
-Techniques - topping the uncle ben way; basic horticulture in other words. I may try some different things with the light schedule--walking down more gradually rather than doing my usual 18/6 > 24 hrs of darkness > 12/12; I will clone the three tops, and take 3 more SSD clones when the time is right as well.
-Genetics - Devil's Harvest Strawberry Sour Diesel (Strawberry Cough x Sour Diesel), Kerala x Skunk 1, Royal Queen Power Flower
let me know if i left anything out!
Seeds soaked and in their party cups under a 4' 4bulb quantum badboy with 2 florasuns and 2 6500k spectralux. temps are a little low (68-70F) and humidity is as well (50%). the girls are right next to my chili starts, lettuces, and my special lady's sweet peas and heliotropes.
Hope I have some friends along for the ride this time around!
Be easy,

. They (Kerala x skunk and the Strawberry Sour Diesel) seem to be doing fine. I would have liked to have waited another week for them to get a little more rootbound but decided to go ahead and get them under the IG and get the veg really going. Used some rooter's mycorhizzae on the rootball and in the spot they were transplanted to but the transplant went uncharacteristically poorly but they should all survive and pull through the shock.
So i've been having to work fastidiously to try to manage things, and have been keeping temps above 57 as best I can, but such is life. I think i may just bite the bullet next week and insulate the whole garage. yep, i've just decided, that's what i'll be doing. I'll insulate the garage and then pack the tent in insulation as well (obviously porting the vents appropriately, etc.).
