Alright so the first grow room seems to have been a success...Knocks on wood... Now time to grow known strains.
For this we have Kens Grand Daddy Purp and Nirvana Blue Mystic. Room is just about finished and seeds are starting to pop; Hoping to have room up and running in 2 weeks.
I chose the GDP and Blue mystic because they are both high medical quality strains, Indica Dominate and will let me experiment with bringing out colo. Was originally gonna do a GDP and white widow strain but then what happens to the White widow when i have to drop the temperature for the GDP coloring eh? So to air on the side of safety i figured it best to put 2 complimentary strains in the same room.
Here is what we will have for the room
-2 EA 240W LED Lights
-2 EA 6 Site Aeroponic Bins (Rubbermaid)
-Bins run off the same 17Gal Sump and 800 GPH pump
-Grow area is a 24"x70" Closet with Mylar covered walls and doors (just your basic closet with sliding doors)
-Gonna keep water at 68 and room at 70. Last 2 Weeks of flowering i plan to drop temps to 65 to help bring out coloring.
-Pump running on 1-4 Timer - Also having to use a water chiller to keep temp right.
-Gonna run 18-6 for Veg on this one i think until about 12" Tall, then kicking to 12 -12 Flower schedule.
-Nutes=Holland Secret 3 Stage + Nitrogen/CalMag/Orca root culture as needed.
Think that is all i have for now. On a plane right now from West to East coast and cant think of anything else to add.
Will post pics once seedlings are moved and everything is operational.

Not sure what your situation is but finding the GDP seeds isnt to hard if you are legal on the west coast. Up in Washington i just asked around the dispensary's and got pointed in the right direction. No waiting on seeds from overseas.

Nah unfortunately its not so medical where im from. East coast. but my situation is we need money sooner than a perfect strain like GDP

if they had fem seeds id grow a few but we dont have time to get 10-20 seeds and search for a good female

but as soon as we do ill have an elaborate journal about it. :weed:

wanna see these so bad i heard blue mystics supposed to be good. is it like blue dream seed formish?

Don't know anything about growing the Blue Dream unfortunately. Have read some journals on here about the Mystic is why i decided to go with that.
Will tell you this though, that blue dream is an AMAZING smoke. Great high and a wonderful slightly fruity taste.

Thanks mate. Gonna prune these ones a bit once they mature a bit and as they grow. We will see how that works. Once the first room is done around the end of the year we are gonna switch the setup to something like this. Likely 6 Snow White and 6 Blue Mystic. May go with something other that the Blue Mystic if we can get a good strain from the dispensary, Thinking G13 Pineapple Express.

Long times since the last update. Plants are far along now as you can see in the pics. Right side is the GDP at about 12-16". Left side front row Snow White at 14-18". Left Side back row Blue Mystic at 18-20". Gonna kick into flower and take clones in a week or two.
PPM at 1200. PH still High 5's. Room temp is at 80 (Perfect for the LED Grow) and water 68-70.

This is our fist med strain with this setup. So hoping for the best. These were from seed so we had about 1 week for germination before we dropped into the Aero bins the 4 Weeks of Veg time. Now we are 2 weeks into flower. I am waiting on pictures from my bro to post later this weekend. Lemme know how that goes with the DWC. We have been thinking of going that route for some poppies.
