Well now that you know my setup I will be documenting here around once a week every sunday night for the next 14 weeks.

I will be vegging these beautiful gods gift clones that i just got today for 5 weeks and will flower them 8 weeks with weeks 8 and 9 being flushed.

-----------------------------------
Now heres some pictures


This is my hydrologic stealth ro 200 and it gives me fresh water from 400ppm out of the tap to 10-20ppm. highly recommend this to anyone.


This is a picture from when you enter the garage looking at all the ventilation going out the window. I have a direct line of fresh air going thru my hoods and out the window. I have an exhaust with carbon filter going out the window and I also have a portable ac 10,000 btu exhausting out the window as well.


This is the inside of my growlab 145L holding 12 gods gift clones just transplanted today.


Another view of the inside.





Closeup shots of the gods gift babies. the extra clone in the cup i got for free with the 12 so im not sure what im gonna do with him just yet.


Ebb n grow controller bucket. temps are lookin good.


This is all my nutrients. you can find them listed above.


My quantum digi ballasts mounted to the wall away from the grow room

Here is my barrel which holds all my nutrients as part of the ebb n gro system along with my continuous trimeter mounted above.

Nutrient Schedule:

Right now I am starting off with some liquid karma and bud candy with zone and using heavy 16 a +b for a tds of 800 this week feeding once for the first day and then feeding 2 times a day to start and ill see how they take to the new environment.

I also foliar sprayed them with heavy 16 pro foliar to reduce the shock of the transplant.

I also foliar sprayed them with foliar bloom A + B to help increase defenses to ward of pathogens and help em get strong as they adapt to their new home.

Also running my 2 1kw lights at 18/6 at 50% for the first 2-3 days, then up to 75% for 2-3 days, then 100% for the rest of the time.

------------------------------
Alright well stick around im very excited about this. Ill probably getting some videos of everything all running later this week. See you later.

Not gonna get any seeds I don't have any males around. N I'm in so Cal so idk how far that is from Oxnard. Try local medical clinics for clones

Wow dream setup, did I miss the Co2? or have you chosen not to run any? I heard veg growth in this system is naughty at 5 weeks you'll have 12 trees From your experience does God's gift stretch much?

I see you came prepared. haha

thanks i know this is my dream setup that ive saved up for 3 years for so im glad i finally started haha. so um some plants are showing some stretching (only 2 but they are the most mature and they are the tallest plants) but all the others are super bushy. im not running co2 since this is my first grow i am just venting air out and getting fresh air in this time...im still not sure as to how i would use co2 and also scrub my room with the portable ac in there sucking all the air out thru the window. def gonna get co2 in there next grow.

ok so heres the weekly round up for the end of week 1. the plants are adapted to their environment and doing great. i got a little trigger happy with the lights and tried to put em up to 100% after 3 days but i had some light bleaching occur within a couple hours so i put it back to 50% for the rest of the week. i lowered the lights to 24" also and put it at 75% on sunday. today i just upped the lights to 100%. temps are at around 77 with full lighting on so im happy about that. humidity is a little low about 48% but not too bad...i feel like when they get bigger it'll bring the humidity up more but the ac is working hard to keep the temps stable at 77 so theres not too much air in the tent for long periods of time. the plants show no sign of disease and are pest free.

nutrient schedule:
same as last week with liquid karma zone and bud candy and heavy 16 a + b. upped the tds to 890-900. run off ph changes from going in at 5.8 to 5.9 after one feeding. after a few feedings it never goes up past 6.0 which im happy about. also foliar sprayed them with heavy 16 pro foliar on sunday and ust foliar sprayed them with liquid light and saturator today.

im still dialing in the time intervals for feeding. they were perking up really tall and showing some signs of underwatering earlier this week so i upped the feeding from 3 times (15min fill each) to 3 times (30 mins fill each) and they were still perking so i upped it to 4 times (30 mins fill each) and they were still perking a little so changed it up today to feeding 6 times a day (15 mins fill each). also it might seem like a lot of watering in this system but the plants are in 1 or 2 inch rockwool cubes that they have probably grown out into the hydroton so theres not much water being retained at all, therefore why im feeding so much. they are starting to not perk up as much today which is good but the days still not over so they might droop but i will check before i go to bed tonight. thats pretty much the recap for this week. oh and in gonna start to top them at the 4th node later this week too :]

ok now for the pictures taken today. day 11 of veg.

So I checked on them when I woke up this morning and they finally showed signs of overwatering so I know my threshhold now that six times (15 min fills) is too much so I'm going to feed them 5 times (15 min fills) and see if they stay steady of no drooping or perking. Ill will update the results tomorrow or tonight when I get a chance to see em at the end of the day.

lovin the set up man, great job!!!!!!!

Looks good, clean and very well planed grow! good luck. gods gift is pretty much gods gift haha

That's a work of art! I DO NOT miss Cali, but I do miss the freedom of fear that came with the Cali MJ laws and attitude towards it on a whole.

Thanks guys I got a good feeling about this grow. Ill be posting a video tonight so you can all see it in action. Yeah I love Cali laws. Would never be able to sleep at night if this grow wasn't 100% legal.

ok so heres an update with the video of my setup.

Yeah looks beautiful, I'll definitely be here throughout the journal, probably asking questions as I put together my tent, extremely similar setup. I was in SF bay area a few years back, on my way out of town I hit up a friend from my hometown (Antioch) for a qp of something that would just blow my mind... He threw me a bag and said, "straight fire, can't find this anywhere else but Cali bro, God's Gift." Ever since that week I got back home, I've been on a quest to find similar quality bud, hands down best I've smoked. memories of those little rock-like buds.

Oh totally forgot to ask, how tall are you going to let them get before you flip?

very nice mate i got front row seats for this one

my plan is to let them go 5 weeks veg...im going to top them this week and just keep topping them. im still debating doing a SCROG grow when i flip the switch or not. depends on how huge they are going to get.

oh and i woke up today with a letter from my landlord saying the Home owners association are doing an annual termite inspection on my fourplex so im kinda pissed about that as this setup is in my garage...im thinking of taking the whole thing down the morning before the inspection cuz this tent is way too big to hide...and im pretty sure they are going to visually inspect every room in the house...but they gave me notice thankfully. they come next tuesday between 8am-12pm so my light schedule usually turns off at 11am so they will be 2 to 3 hours without light but im not fretting over that...just the fact that i have to take the whole setup down which SUCKS cuz its gonna be a bitch to put back up after the inspectors leave...and if they dont even check the garage im gonna be even more pissed lol. but its never bad to be cautious about this cuz i do not want any inspector knowing about this / tipping off my landlord

I'm jealous bro, that's a sick set up.

Great start!! I can't wait to see them jump in size.
