Welcome to my journal... glad you could stop by and check things out!
as of right now i'm building my new room and am in the middle of flowering some girls... since this is my journal ill try to catch you up a little...
im flowering the below girls in what is now my veg room... why am i flowering in my veg room you ask?? well it was because i was in my basement, the sewer backed up, basement flooded, and i had to move areas fast... the basement was a bad idea anyways.... it was almost damn near impossible to keep the enviroment the same day to day... but for about a year and a half its allowed very very good practice...
anyways... i had some plants vegging during the flooding so i just decided to start flowering them as soon as i got the new room setup.. $4000 dollars, about 30 hours of work, and a week later i had gotten my new room set up to move my girls... the basement setup was a one room setup.. so the lights im using to flower now are the only ones i have... since im going from a one room setup to a 3 room setup (veg, flower, and clone/mother) i spent a lot in materials makin it nice, so i didnt have enough to get the hps lights and some other stuff i need... still another $4000 to go... in the end me and my partner will have dropped about $10,000.. oh and just to avoid getting a buncha shit, my partner put up the original money to turn my basement into a grow room... he spent about $5000 so we had a badass setup, and now its trashed from water damage.... only a few fans and the lights survived... tragic really..
now the girls im flowering now are growing FAR from how i would normally grow.. i pulled a stoner mistake and planted to many seeds without making sure i had enough dirt for all the pots... of course i didnt... it was the middle of winter... so i did the only thing i could think of.. and multi-planted each pot... so they are not growing optimumly.. i really am just trying to get this harvest done so i can switch to my new hydro system... more on that in a bit...
currently here is my exact set up, as is..
4 - sunleaves satellite IV HO floros with their bloom bulbs.. 44,000 lumens a piece.. not bad for floros..
1 - wall mounted air kind oscilating fan
1 - sunleaves wind tunnel 6" exhaust fan.. as of now i have it exhausting into what will be the flower room... i was just in a hurry and it works for now... it will change when i actually get the flower room up and running.. more on that later also..
1 - can 50 carbon filter.. i did have the HO 6'' exhaust fan they sell with it in use.. but me and my buddy ran 3 new circuts to the room, a 240v and 2 - 120v, and in the mix he switched some wires and the 120v exhaust fan got 240vs and fried... so i have another of the 6" sunleaves fan on it.. it seems to actually work better tho..
- I am using BC nutes because i got a free sample pack with the hydro system i got.. i figured why not.. so they are getting BC Bloom, BC Boost, thrive alive, MagiCal, sugar daddy, and awesome blossom nutes... feeding goes like this with the nutes; yes, no, yes, no, no, yes, no, ect.. i feed them about a gallon of water every 2 or 3 days...
- I used some IR blocker to cover the room and sunleaves black and white poly over that... its 6mil thick... almost like a really thick garbage bag.. reflects something like 95% of the light... the flower room and veg room is actually divided by a curtain i made out of the black and white poly... put 2 sheets back to back... its the left side of the veg room if you look at the pics..
- temp is about 75 during the "day" and about 65 at "night"...
- humidity is about 35%ish..
- leaf temps never surpass 80..
my PH meter got ruined in the flood so i have no idea what it is... but im not worried... i have one for the hydro system.. not gonna waste money on a new one for the soil...
here are the room sizes
the room im using to flower, which will be my veg room.. is 5x9x7...
the soon to be flowering room is 7x9x7
the clone/mother room is 3x5x5
here are some pics of what i have going on... where im at now... next post will be with what i am going to do after this harvest... first are the most recent pics of the girls from yesterday, which ended the 4th week of flowering.. sorry the camera is on my phone.. it takes decent distance pics.. but up close it sucks... the ones after that are the veg room, the soon to be flower room, and the clone/mother room...
almost forgot.... the girls themselves are crystale... like the rappers drink.. lol i never know if i spell it right or not so...
