Hello all! This is my first grow journal. Thanks for reading.
Strains:
Blue Mystic
Blue Hash
Arjan's Strawberry Haze
Lemon Skunk
Critical +
Diesel (original)
I am about a month into this grow, in a brand new garden. I am set up in an attic, so the space is shaped like a tent. About 6th tall, 12ft deep, and 10th wide. I started by lining the whole room with some black plastic sheeting, from Home Depot, then sealed of the back end with plastic, and made a doorway at the other end. I then lined the side walls with mylar. The room was then divided in half, making the front of the room veg, and the back half the flower room.
I started the grow with seeds, germinated in water. Then began the veg with daylight CFLs. And, just today, put up a 4ft 6 bay T5 light from Hydrofarm. For veg, I am going to use 2 600w HPS lights.
Once the mothers are mature enough, I will be growing from clippings. The plan is to grow short plants, in higher volume. And, I plan to get the plants growing on a cycle, so that I have a crop maturing every month to month and a half.
Depending on how the different strains grow in my space, I may end up dropping a few of them. I really like the variety I have right now though. A nice blend of indicas, sativas, and hybrids.
I recently had my first go at some training of the plants. I tried topping, dimming, and some low stress training using ties to manipulate the plants growth. I successfully topped 3 of the plants, the blue hash, critical +, and one of the blue mystic. They look great! I tried to fimm the critical +, but cut too low and ended up with only two new tops. However, I did successfully fimm the lemon skunk, and now have 4 solid tops growing. Lastly, I used one of the blue mystic to try LST. I tied the top down to the bottom of the stalk, using some fly fishing line (something I had laying around). The secondary growth has now become dominant and I have a few new tops, not sure exactly how many yet.
So, right now I have ten plants. The 6 strains, and 4 extra blue mystic plants. These will be my mothers, except for the extra blue mystic; those are going to go into flower soon, so I can have a little smoke to toke sooner than later.
That is all for now! Thanks for reading, and check back for updates soon. In the meantime, I would love to know which of my strains is your favorite! Let me know!
