hello one and all, this is my first journal so bear with me as i make mistakes and take care of problems along the way. im only been doing this for 3 years..... anyways feel free to ask what ever you wish, post pics of your own plants chill and chat its all good! when i get to harvesting i think i will just make another thread with all my post in order from start to finish with the Kens Kush.
so heres the specs:
Strains:
White widow(i believe its nirvana)
Purp #1(bagseed awesome stuff)
BF Blue cheese
Afgan (bagseed)
Woody Haze(local bred sativa)
and last but not least GDPs KENS KUSH!!!!!!!!!!!
(there are maybe one or 2 strains i missed but they are not important mexican bagseed doing some strain hunting for some of my stuff to breed with)
Lighting and space/dimensions and all that shit!
well its all inside a 5x5 tent on its side in the basement, so its a 5x7x5 tent.
veg is in what used to be my flowering area till i decided the height was not enough. its 2x4x4 DIY poly tent with 2x4s its got a 6bulb t5 in it running x2florasun Reptisun x2 aquasun UVL and one 420nm lamp and one 460nm lamp. i run the x2 florasuns 24/7 and the 4 bulbs on a 12/12 schedule opposite of my flower.
flower is my BABY, we got 400w HPS hortilux on a lumatek running 430w, a 400w MH on a mag ballast, both in cool tubes with a 6" fan dedicated to cooling only. then we got x2 26w CFL UVA+B lights (exoterra) and a 160w MV UV light (also exoterra) with a 6" duct fan pointing on it to keep it cool, so cool in fact i can touch the surface of the bulbs, which in turn will extend the life of this bulb for years! actually all my bulbs are kept super cool. this makes the lumen depreciation less. this is my lighting schedule 11/13 hps and x2 uv cfls, then 9/15 for the MH and the MV
smell control is handled by 2 filter one small one scrubbing 24/7 and a larger one that exhaust 5x(about 2 hours apart) a day for 15 min right before co2 comes on. then 3 long times(couple hours) a night(thier night) while the veg lights are on to keep the room cool.
i basically explained co2 room is sealed injected and cleared out. my temps are rock solid 90 when it a hot night and in the winter 80 solid.
my night temps vary but i can get pretty cold but usually its around 70( i dont have an ac either, well i have them i dont use them)
i need a better cam and plan on getting one soon(maybe this weeK)
i water everything with 5gal this last about a day or 2, but the faucet is right there so i fill it up! bubble, pH, mix nute/brew tea and use.
im pretty much all organic i run some synthetic towards the middle of flower but other than that and some pesticide in veg im all organic and in all organic soiless soil.
well anyways nice wall of text there for you to read lets get started with the pics!
the supplies.
first pic is veg didnt show my mothers they are looking sorry right now so are some of my clones forgot to spray for bugs for week had to spray hard yesterday got some burns some flower pics and some pics of some bud about to come out the one on th right had the top bud chopped yaesterday(should of got a pic they where NICE!)
my current cloning method the 3 in front are for clones the 3 in that back im growing in. that plant got those roots in 4 days! what ever i did to that paticular one was on point! so far i have had 100% success the key is to make sure the bottome of the stem is barly in the water at the bottom of the rockwool.
UV second pic shows CFLs and las 2 shows exto terra MV solar glo!
