LocknessMD First Grow

What's up guys' + gals. I'm a first time farmer and wanted to share the most beautiful table I have in my house! The pick is of Super Lemon Haze (GHS), Pakistan Valley Kush (Landrace, WoS), Kannabia Karamelo (?? Freebie) and Cinderella 99 (Female Seeds)! I'm having a ton of fun with my new hobby and wish there was more to do lol Everything is going awesome and at the moment I'm trying to help my Vornado humidifier (rooms at 39-41% RH) win the fight against my air conditioner lol. I just started misting everything 3 times a day to help and will probably put some water containers with a large surface area under the tables. I also shut off the AC at night (let the temps get up to 83 ish) and let the Humidifier do it's thing, using the fan/filter combo to exhaust the hot air.



Pic of my whole veg room:


I'm barely starting the clone process off of these mother plants to start the veg process. I'm really excited about growing out the C99 and SLH so I cloned a lot of those plants with the thought that some will fail because it's my first time doing this I had my mothers on their own table but just combined them with my clone table to save some energy. I had a problem with gnats but fixed it really quick with a few applications of Gognats. Today I might also practice topping that Karamelo just to see what happens, I don't think I'm going to grow it out anyway. Hopefully in the next few months I have some awesome bud shots for you and no problems

-Keep it fun

Looks good bro keep it up, ill keep a look out for your grow. If possible when the c99 is finished and cured let me know i'm interested in Females seeds version of the strain.

Roger that. C99 is on the top of my list to grow out. My flower room is almost finished. I did electrical for 4x20a breakers. I have 1000w Lumatek, Ocho hood and my ducting ran so far. When i get more experienced I'll add more lights. For cooling I have that port-a-cool 2200 cfm swamp cooler. I need to get it finished so I can test the temperatures in there before I start flowreing. I think I'm going to take back that swamp cooler because the humidity is just going to be too high for flower. The 2 hose AC units are only like 60 bucks more, so I think I'll just go with that. Swamp cooler cost about 1/5 of what an AC unit costs to run but I think I'll just have environment issues if I keep it. The 2 hose AC also heats

They look nice and healthy. I'm on my third and really enjoy growing too.

How much did the swamp cooler affect the humidity? I'm actually in the middle of a DIY swamp cooler project.

@Bretz What strains are you running and what method do you use?

The swamp cooler in my veg room got the humidity up to like 65%, perfect. But when it was hitting 105 outside temperatures it only cooled the room to like 90.... So I swapped it out for a 14k btu AC. I'm going to do the same tomorrow for the flower room (I don't want mold).

Time to feed I have a question or 2 and few pics for you guys:

When I feed my 4 plants (SLH, C99, Pakistan Valley Kush, Karamelo) I use 5ml per gallon of Dyna-Gro "Grow" 7-9-5. The plants look really healthy (as per pics) but the lower leaves, not all, turn yellow then brown and usually die off. I'm not super worried because the rest of the plant looks awesome. My PH is 6.5 ish so I'm pretty sure they are receiving what I'm feeding them. After a little research everything points to "N" deficiency but I really am feeding them on high end of the feeding scale, maybe even closer to double. If we didn't have this great thing called the internet I would probably just carry on and cut the stems at the main stalk like I usually do (it isn't ever branches with nodes that do this).

Pics!


Like I said before today is feeding day and I was thinking of giving them a 5ml 50/50 mix of "Grow" and "Bloom". I'm just waiting for my new AC to come in the mail then they are going under the "Ocho" 1000w HPS

Clones:

This is day 12 of my clones:


The C99 has some awesome roots going but the other really aren't catching on. I really need 3 C99 and 1 SLH to things perpetual for my next grow. I PH'ed my water to 5.8 added 20ml per Gallon of Clonex and a little bit of "Grow". The stems are submerged 1/8-3/4 of an inch. Everyone has something different to say about the depth that works for them and I'm just trying to find mine The temps of the water are 70-75 and humidity is about 60-65. My AC was sucking the rooms humidity so I bought one of those "Vornado" humidifiers from Home Depot and it sits just to the left of the Cloner:


Anyway, that's my set-up. It is my first grow and hope you guys/gals don't get too bored with this long post!

P.S. My Number 1 girl ("Beta") says good luck with your grows and keep it safe!

Pulled 4 clones out of the Bubble Cloner, 3 C99 and 1 Super Lemon Haze. I put them into a 1 gallon smart pot with a little bit of that White Shark sprinkled in there. It was my first attempt at cloning and think it worked out pretty well For the cloner itself I have a 35 site cloner and put in 20ml of Clonex for every one gallon of PH'ed water. I mist the clones twice a day to keep the humidity up around 65%.
