My grow has expanded in size and scope, so I figured I'd make a permanent journal for here on out.

Short details,
4'x8' flower tent with 2- 1000W SE HPS and extra supplemental UVB.

4'x4'x veg tent with 1- 1000W SE MH.

I am, and will be, running 12 plants total in a perpetual grow. All different and changing strains.
(8 strains currently)

Here's a link to my old journal. I will post later with more details and updated pictures.

4 plant Hempy bucket.48sq.ft. Now 3kW HPS! 4/6/8wk Veg.

ALL COMMENTS ARE WELCOME!!! Strain https://shop.ilovegrowingmarijuana.com/products/skywalker-og-fem-seeds This will be my second grow. 1st grow got me 2lbs off 8 autos (Bubblegum/ Jack Herer/ OG Kush) in soil in a 4'x4' tent with a 600w HPS.(1200w last 4 weeks) I have changed damn near...

And in the veg tent we have SW5, and one each of...Gorilla Glue #4, MK Ultra, Blue Dream, Blueberry Gum, 710 Mango, Phantom Cookies Domina, and a Zkittlez Glue.

All are being fed Mega Crop @ recommended levels with 3-5ml of CalMag because I noticed a Calcium deficiency recently.

Looking great Smoke!! you’re getting better germination rates than me with that approach. A nice strain variety in the veg tent too!

Thanks.
I'm kinda shocked the germination is going so well. If the GG#4 makes it that's a 100% success rate so far for this hands off approach.
I guess sometimes less>more? :)

Quick side note...

I may be crazy, but it seems like after 2 days of running the UVB on SW1, she seems to have a much stronger, longer lasting smell to her. A strong scent of citrus with some stank thrown in..
Its almost like you can tell she's had a bit of damage done to her. Almost the same feeling/ heat you get after going for a run or something.
IDK..it could just be the jack herer I'm smoking too...

yes, I think the UVB brought out more aroma plus it turned my pistils brown prematurely

Well,
It took a repot and 6 days but the Gorilla Glue has sprouted. That makes it a 100% success rate in the veg tent with 8 different strains. No rockwool, dome or anything else needed. :D Just a few clear cups with latex gloves on top to diffuse the light for the first couple days. Those seedlings are getting 30k Lux now @ 6 days old...

Everything's chugging along nicely.

SW1 Day 33.
She is starting to produce now

SW2 Day 26.
The FIM on the top layer seemed to take. This is my first try at it so we'll see how she progresses.

SW3 and SW4 Day 12. My original post was incorrect on the flower date for these 2.

Did a bit of "gravity" LST on SW5. She has enough weight on the branches to keep herself down.

Overall I'm really happy with how things are headed atm.

I'm not sure if someone has tried/posted about this before so I apologize if its already been covered.

I'm doing some testing on an idea I had. Could be utter garbage, or my Swan Song. Who knows...

I'm calling it- GST (Gravity Stress Training)
Not too inventive but it'll do.

I'm currently using just the weight of my scrog net to LST my plant. No ties, wire,or whatever needed. Completely uninvasive.
If/when more "gravity" is needed I have a couple ideas to try.
I'll be keeping an eye on this and update as to how it works out...
