Jay Unity's Jungle

First post. First journal. My state, VA, "legalized" about 6 months ago. I'm having a hard time mentally moving out of the darkness but figured I'd give a journal a shot. Have really only took growing seriously for maybe six years but sprouted my first bag seeds in 1995 at age 14 and always had a little something happen, or at least tried, every year since.

I'm currently on day 28 of flower with GMO, Puta Breath, and Motorbreath15 in a 4x8 tent. I also have a GMO a little older in there with some Peanut Butter Sunshine seeds cooking in her.
Have a small but sufficient library of mothers and stay on the hunt for more. I've got a few Snow Conez (Candyland x Oreoz) sprouted, terrible germination on those, and have a few Prince (Oz Kush x Purple Punch), Unicorn Sherbet, and Puta Breath that I'm getting ready to drop in plugs because I was too lazy to buffer Coco last night. I popped 4 Puta seeds last year, 2 were female and they were both dank so I'm curious to see what these other 6 do. The Puta currently in the flower tent is my most sought after strain. I'll be looking at those males pretty close as well.

Coco in Rain Science bags with automated watering. Jacks321, Power Si, Tribus, Mr Fulvic, and working on using up some clonex solution.

My lighting is a bit outdated but I pulled 51g a sqft, over 2 gpw last round with only 720w in a 4x8 and that's enough to keep me from dropping a stack or more for now. I've got 720 watts of very used hlg qb120s in the flower tent and just put a 200w Amazon light to help out this round. I planned to steal 4 qb120 boards from the veg tent and mix them in with the other 12 but haven't got around to it yet. Will do it next round if I don't replace them. They've really been good to me and hate to see them go.

Will work on pics in the next day or two.

Comments and/or questions welcome.

GMO on day 40 in it's half of the 4x8

Thats stacked and filling out beautifully. Carbon scrubbers work overtime with that one.

Thanks for the kind words and stopping by. She is definitely a stinker.

l screwed up my big tent with the automated watering, first try with it. Went away for a 4 day weekend and left my pump on low like a dummy. I'm going to grab another pump and leave that one alone, on high, for feeding only instead of using it to move other water. Between hardly any runoff, if any, and my ec already being too high for frequent fertigation, my runoffs were all over 3 ec. Some close to 4. I've got everything back down to around 1.2. They're drinking alot of water but not much nutes at the moment. Live and learn I guess. As long as my seeds didn't mess up I can deal with the lesson. My seeded GMO appears to be loaded. I've picked 1 or two off and they still have a good bit to go.


The pollen donor. Peanut Butter Sunshine (Sunshine #4 x Peanut Butter Breath). I made an f2 with him last year and a buddy grew a few out. He screwed them up pretty bad but the smoke still kicked ass so It has my hopes high.



I'm going to do my best to actually journal something instead of just posting random shit once a month. Going to go with the 3 Sno Conez from Third Coast Genetics/Max Yeilds. Here they are a couple days apart. Getting ready to take the knife to them pretty heavy. Open them up and probably have 4 or 6 tops on each one. As soon as I get roots on the backups I'll find somewhere to flip them. Currently at 1.2ec, 321 with a 1/2 dose of Mr. Fulvic for the past week. Plan to back off a little after I butcher them up.

I thought #1 was going to be a boy but she's surprised me with a few pistils already.



#2 No pistils yet but what's there looks female



#3 showing nothing so far

I stripped off a little more than usual. I imagine it was 90% humidity under all those leaves. #1 was definitely feeling the impact. I couldn't get a breeze through her. They are a little more squat and leafy than most of my stuff. Going to raise the light some more and see if I can get a little more stretch. I was hoping to get them flowering pretty quick but plans are prob going to change. Got worried that with my high runoff ec in the flower tent something might grow some balls in there. Got the PBS bred gmo out of there, just in case something goes down. Only available light was the one I was going to run the sno conez under. So, I might grab a cheap light and throw them in my drying tent if I can find a deal, or might repot them and veg longer. Dropped them down to 1 ec 321 1/2 dose of Mr. Fulvic after cutting them up and they've been riding there since. They've also got a full dose of Power si, Mr. fulvic, Tribus, and a Pure Crop 1 spray since last update. Going to lay off the Power Si until I get them opened up and spread out a little. Here they are after the chop. Hopefully this grow doesn't turn into a Freddy Krueger spin off.




These ones are from a few hours ago

Very nice! It makes my operation look primitive in three 4x2 grow boxes. Things just went from medical to legal recreational here this year.

I guess I better start a grow journal also. I just signed up on this forum with my 1st LED grow in a 2x4x5ft. box..................

Have a great grow - very interesting!

@Synchronicity That's plenty big enough to have a nice harvest. I like my little tents, they're so easy to control. Journaling on here ended up being more work than I anticipated but going to try and see it through. I've been meaning to do a breakdown of my nutrients for a week now but it's hard to find the time. I'm getting ready to put the Snow Cone girls in something smaller than you grow in and hopefully they'll fit there until the end. Tag me in if you start a journal.

Ok so I went ahead and cleaned out a little tent to flower in. Working with an old Apollo 36"x20"x62 tent. Have had this tent about 7 years (my first one) and it's still functions like it's brand new. Better than most of the newer brands I've bought since. The last time I flowered in this tent was a long time ago but got 11 1/4 ounces off of a Glueberry Og autoflower from Dutch passion.

I needed another light or two but am cheap so ended up going with a cheapo off Amazon. A Bozily BP4000. I planned on putting half of it in this tent and the other half in a tent just like it but couldn't figure out how to dim them individually like it said you could do. It fit so perfect I just put the whole thing in cause why not?

Im waiting on a few things I ordered to be able to finish it up but wanted to get the plants in there. In order to get close to my vpd I have two 4" fans blowing warmer air down to the plants. It's actually set up opposite than what's typical. I'm bringing in a tiny bit of fresh air from the top of the tent and exhausting a tiny bit from the bottom of the tent. It's been working really well the last two days and the plants seem happy with it.


I stripped the leaves again, I think two days ago but it's already hard to tell. That's about the only way they seem to be growing. Just big fat leaves in a hurry. They're still being feed about 1ec of jacks 321. I had to change the ratios a little to make a cut of mb15 happy and I've been feeding these that same ratio but I'll go over that next time. If anybody has a tent this size the $10 41q under bed sterilite tote from Walmart fits perfectly as a drain tray. I have the tent sitting on an old folding camping table and plan to drain my runoff into a bucket using gravity.

Im currently still hand feeding these two or three times a day. Waiting on some 1/2 to 1/4 six way tee things I found and a timer to get these girls automated. I figure by a few weeks into flower they will be getting fed every 2 hours. They are pretty loaded with roots. Should have them all setup by mid week and ready to flip.

Guess I'll do an update on the GMO as well. What an awesome cut. Doesn't seem like you could mess this one up but so bad. This will be my second run with her and it's not going to be as good as the first but I never expected it to be. The lights were only off for 5 days when I cut her down the first time. I chopped, cleaned, took this 6 foot tall girl out of the veg tent slammed her under a scrog and flipped the next day.

Between that and getting both her ec and pH way above acceptable levels she still threw down pretty good. Can't wait to see what she does when I get her right because the first run was far from perfect as well.

I'm gonna have to be more careful with how I put her in the pot from now on. I really like the flora cap but it's about half way threw this back limb.

Having a hard time figuring out how to work the camera to get a decent pic of her but here is a lights on and lights off.

Egad! Those look wonderful. I am putting a journal together and will let you know when I post it up. I have been growing under HID bulbs for around 5 years now and can see that I still have much to learn. Especially under the Quantum Board LEDs.

I am about 13 weeks into this grow I have now and am in the middle of week 3 of the 12 & 12 flower cycle . These are under my LED lights..... The yellow plant is low on Nitrogen! ha

That massive trunk is beautiful man

Thanks @Synchronicity and @oodawg

Quick update. Got all the plumbing done a few days ago. Have plucked again, been super cropping the biggest on the right and broke a branch off the middle one dropping a fan on it. I dropped back to .9 ec every 3 hours with minimal runoff except for the morning feed. I started doing the jacks at 3.6 3 1.2 about 10 days ago and everything seems to like that better in veg so far. Will be flipped to 12/12 before my next post.


Here is a Motor Breath 15 I messed up again. This will be my second time running her and if it wasn't for the smell I wouldn't recognize her at all. Last time I had big fat buds but little frost. This time I guess the high ec in my pot diminished nug size alot but it's way frostier and more pungent. Hoping third time is a charm or hit somewhere in the middle at least.

Overdue update. Believe this is day 10 or 11 of flower. All three ended up being female. Was really hoping one would be male to give the other two a little wiggle room but hard to complain about an excess of females.


Not going to get to far into it as I've spent an excess amount of time already the past week dwelling on it. If you're searching for that "bang for the buck" lighting and run across the light I'm using, the Bozily BP4000, I would suggest running away from it as fast as you can. It turned into one of the most stressful growing experiences, experiences in general really, that I've had in a hot minute. The panels are ok but the drivers and remote are complete trash. Bozily service is an even bigger joke pretty much admitting they know they are faulty, contradicting damn near everything stated in the Amazon ad, and joking and poking at you to the point it feels like they are making fun of you for being stupid enough to buy the thing. Jaw dropping experience to say the least. Even at the -30¢ a watt I paid I couldn't even recommend for vegging. I'm going to hopefully finish this run with 2 of the panels and then likey use them as shop lights.
