Hi everybody!
Welcome to my new grow. Okay here's what the set ups gonna be:
Strain(s)
Well, we're gonna be startin out with Blue Venom from g13 labs. Ooooooooh! Why Blue Venom? Cuz, it was a free fem'd seed that I don't care if I accidently f-up on
If it doesn't work out, I'll just blame it on genetics and stuff to keep my ego in tact
The other seeds that I have ready and waiting are White Rhino, White Widow, Hawaiin Snow, Super Silver Haze, Arjan's Haze 1, Arjans Strawberry Haze, Neville's Haze (all from GHS), Super Skunk, Thai Super Skunk, and Pure Gold (all from g13 labs...and free).
Basic Goal
Looking to keep 2 plants in flower in scrog with at least a month seperation in age. I would like to harvest a plant every month or so. That'll keep 1 plant in veg while 2 are in flower. Maybe even try my hand at cloning this round
A big focus here is to absolutely maximize my soon-to-be 400w hps light. I feel that scrog is a real good way for me to go in this department. Nice even canopy and all.
Set Up
It's a DIY grow tent that is still in the making. Dimensions will be roughly 3' x 3' x 5'. Already got the PVC framing all set up and I'm sure I'll be adjusting the dimensions as I get a better sense of how to maximize the light use. Just waitin on the poly film and some of the ventin stuff. I'll be making the carbon filter myself cuz those things are expensive
I'm not waiting for all that stuff to get started though. The Blue Venom is already germed, rooted, and a week old.
Vegging
No mh light so I'm stuck with good ole fashioned daytime spectrum cfl's from walmart/home depot.
Vegging for probably a little over a month. This will be my 1st scrog attempt so it's gonna be a bit tricky for me.
Lots of info about how great this technique is, but not lots of visual how-to info unfortunately
I'll learn as I go I guess
Flowering
With the exception of the very 1st plant, 2 plants will always be in the flower area (i.e. the grow tent). They'll be spaced about a month apart in age (although that'll get tricky as I work in the haze strains with their ridiculous flowering times).
Got a scope from Radioshack that I'll use to determine harvest date. Don't plan on flushing either. I want my plants makin mo' buds til the moment they die...
Medium
Coco
This'll be my 1st go-round using coco. I'm usually a hydro guy. But all the damn rez changes and algae and blah blah blah blah blah (don't get me wrong, I LOVE hydro)
I feel lazier this go round. Just want to pop in the tent, add water, and go do other stuff that Butters likes to do hump:......)
And coco IS essentially hydro. Just brown colored hydro that costs a little more and sounds tasty
Nutes
Ah...decisions decisions.
I still have plenty of Fox Farm hydro trio left. But...it appears coco does better with coco-specific nutes (go figure).
I'm probably looking at getting the Canna Coco A+B formula. It's cheap. It's easy. And i can get it over the net.
Grow System
It's a hempy bucket
Done alot of reading on what I wanted to do with this run. There's so much to choose from. DWC, Ebb n Flow, Aeroponics, bubblers, Aerogarden (hehe...this is where it started for me), soil, SOG, SCROG, trees, verticals, on and on and on and on.
Bottom line, with hempy, I can just water once a day (if that), and don't need to hassle around with pumps and bubblers and other goofy stuff thats gonna eat up my electric bill and force me to have to build/buy a buncha stuff.
That, and I have yet to see anything about using coco and hempy together. Seems a little counter-intuitive (Note: triple word score for Butters ).
But in my last grow, my simple little lowryder 2 drank a gallon of water a day..........(yielded over 3oz though)
Using the hempy bucket's smallish rez for the plant to drink from just makes me feel better... (totally scientific reasoning...i know)
Like it won't be too dehydrated or anything.
And that's it for now. Pics coming soon but it's hardly a site to see. Just a tiny little plant, with a buncha lights over it, and cat litter box next to it...with a cat crapping in it
Ya know, the typical set up
This journal will probably be real slow at 1st as I get WAY more enjoyment outta readin up on this stuff and checkin in on other's grows (Heath, Al B, MBlaze, GypsyBush...you guys are f'n heroes!). Plus, it's really boring right now. 2 tiny leafs, and the roots endless rather poetic search for water.
Once the screens come into play, pics'll be put up like mad. I'm gonna need some serious advice, suggestions, and coaching at that point.
This is an open journal so feel free to post away with comments/suggestions.
And if anyone's wondering (who am I kidding...no one's wondering), I live in a non-legal douche-bag state that doesn't believe in treating people with medicines that work, clear up pain and naussea, and don't cause physiologic dependence (Note: double word score for Butters).
Isn't scrabble fun
