Been following this thread. Great thread. Thanks a lot dr and everyone.
First complete grow. I got about a few weeks into flower about a year and a half ago ... Growing CK and my SO had a melt down and made me kill both of them. Even with a carbon filter it was stinking up our place. I think part of the problem was I was only running fan and filter when light was on.
I was pissed. Buds were tiny (I didn't have as good of a set up) ... Not even popcorn) and still got me ripped. So I'm thinking a full flower will be awesome!!
Anyway we agreed I could grow one plant at a time (and a clone). I run fan and filter 24/7 and have a negative ion and ozone generator outside of tent that runs for maybe 15 minutes every 2 hours. Huge difference ... Almost no smell of ozone or from plant and I can increase ozone time a little bit more if I need to as flowering progresses.
I have one clone and one critical growing in about a 6.5 gallon DWC with aerator. Topped main stem twice and about 5 or 6 side branches once. 600 w mh during veg and 600 w hps for flower. Light seems to do good at about 6 -10 inches above plant. I have good air circulation.
I vegged for a few days more than 4 weeks after the seed sprouted and this things has exploded. Root ball is absolutely huge. Just a really dense plant with very tight nodes. I just flipped switch last night after 24 dark period.
Plant is super bushy ... Almost a natural Scrog ... Not quite, but close. Was about 2.5 feet in diameter and about 14-15 inches tall at the end of veg. Looks like it has tons of bud sites ... I had preflowers before I flipped.
My tent is only about 32 x 32 x 63. So I couldn't go much longer as it was just about as wide as my tent when I flipped.
No co2. Using Jungle juice 3 part nutes. Following amounts on bottles. I'm also using Cal/Mag and keeping ph between 6.2 and 5.8. I check it daily. Haven't had too many issues. Plant seems good and healthy.
It's drinking at least a gallon a day already. Been topping with about 25% strength nutes and changing out every week to ten days Seems to be really nute hungry. Was maybe going to try topping with 50% strength. Some of the newer top smaller leaves are a lighter green than the rest of the plant which look's good. What do you all think?
I am hoping I can pull about 3-4 ounces dry from this plant too.Is this expecting too much?
My goal is to flower this one then move my clone (I wanna keep it small until I move to tent) from a small grow box into my tent and veg that for 2 or 3 weeks, before taking a clone and flowering and continually repeating the process.
This is just for personal use. So I just need enough for me. What do you all think?
This thread is AWESOME! Can't wait to pop these in a few days!
and edibles are a totally rad high...if u cant afford a legit co2 setup i used 2 bags of this homegrown co2 called the exhale http://www.amazon.com/ExHale-Homegrown-your-indoor-plants/dp/B00546SAZC ....fucking easy as shit and cheap but for my next show i shall have a legit setup like doc...that calculator was sick!!!
