Hey all.
I started my 2nd real grow. My last grow used CFL in my closet. I yielded almost 7oz under 500 actual watts CFL.
For my second grow i bought a 4x4x7 tent ($127) and a 600w HID kit with Metal Halide and HPS bulbs, dimmable electronic balast and Cool Tube reflector for $240 bucks. I definitely spent more on fixtures, bulbs, broken bulbs and whatnot when i used cfl. Although the bud came out nice and i got good yield, it was a ton of work.
So i decided to go HID, IMO i did pretty good using cfl for a first grow so if I use HID it should be the BOMB!
I have started now, 13 days into it;
1 Think Different(Dutch Passion)
1 Auto Viking Blue (norden seeds)
1 SAD Auto (sweet seeds)
1 Auto Dark Devil (Sweet Seeds)
3 Super Lemon Haze (GHS)
1 Chocolope Kuch (DNA)
Have a Girl Scout Cookies too from BCBD but it hasnt popped, i think its a dud. Im gonna get another from Cali Con next time.
I have them in 5-6 Gallon fabric bags. Sea Soil, Pro-Mix, Perlite. Started in a cup, then i cut the bottom off and plant the cup after they are rooted. Saves from being shocked during transplant.
Last grow i used General Organics nutrient lineup and had a hell of a time keeping PH levels below 7.6!!
This grow i will use Advanced Nutrients PH perfect Sensi system.
So far the plants seems to be doing well, except i have a MUTANT SLH. oh well ill let it grow and see what it turns into if it lives, it doesnt look good lol, tiny and malformed. I will be removing the chocolope kush from the dirt (its only 5 days old) and putting it in a DWC hydro setup. I want to try one just for fun in hydro. The kush is MUCH smaller then the others, still had just its little seed leaves and first set, i want to see how fast it will catch up and the difference in the end size.
Oh and a tip...if you get a fabric grocery bag and use it as a air pot, they are cheap and work just as good.
Here are some pics i took yesterday. They actually grew a bit last nite and today so they are bigger than in the pics....
Leave some comments..
Will upload some SLH pics and the Kush in hydro later tonite.
