My brother and I have been talking about growing some plants for awhile. I rarely smoke it due to work, but I'd like to explore it more to find something I really enjoy. the bit I tried last year, well I bought a lot of different types, most were harsh and just really didnt do anything for me. I'm wondering if they were harvested a bit early and not flushed enough. Anyhow, back on topic,
We bought 4 clones yesterday. Sour lime pie, orange sherbert, and alien appartion. I believe mostly hyrbids, and one indica. We arent really sure what we bought lol.
So I did some research and checked out a few hydroponics shops after we picked up the clones. I was pretty impressed with the cmh 315w light, and figured it would work well for my limited space. I was really impressed by the phillips full spectrum lamps. So I went and dropped some coin and picked up a phantom 315w setup, some 1g pots, soil and nutrients.
Since im running rodi water that I use for my reef tank, I was told I needed some cal mag, and picked that up as well.
So today I potted the clones into the 1g pots using fox farms oceans forest potting soil which is what the guy at the hydro shop suggested. He said I should be able to go about 3 weeks before needing to add nutrients with this soil. Does that sound about right?
after some reading I determined about 4ml of cal mag per gallon of rodi seemed correct, so I mixed a gallon of rodi water/calmag and watered all 4 until they seeped out the bottom. The plan is to probably let them sit about a week before the next
I bought fox farms grow big, and big bloom, along with tiger bloom extra strength fertilizer for supplementing. Should I wait 3 weeks before I start using these? I need to research some more about when to use and which ones. I believe I know to use the 2 fox farms for vedging, and then switch out the grow big for the tiger bloom as soon as flowering starts if I remember correctly.
I will be doing 18/6 on the lighting, and I currently have the light about 20 to 22 inches off the top of the plant. Temp seems fine, and I also have a oscillating fan blowing above the plants to give some air agitation.
The plan is to vedge at least 4 weeks from now, possibly pull a few clones off, so I'm not sure if I will need longer, then go into flowering 12/12 for as long as need be, im pretty sure they will harvest at different times
At some point we plan on moving 2 plants out doors to see how they do as I know I dont have the room for 4 big plants in my current space.
This is the current setup, I placed them on the phantom box for the time being just to make it easier to access. Not pretty, but its about the only place in my tiny house I can do it.
I do have room in my car port, and we may end up moving everything out there, but we would like to experiment with growing outside as well, and plan on trying that with our clones. I still have a lot of research to do on outdoor growing in nw oregon, so this is up in the air. Worst comes to worst, we will setup all of them in the car port, and probably add a 600w hps if I need more lighting. I'm not willing to invest in a second 315 just yet.
I appreciated any suggestions you might have on my plan, or what I can do better. especially interested in understanding more on working with the nutrients. I;ve been reading for about a day now and im still trying to process all this information. It's quite a bit different than reef keeping
