Welcome, I am Vox Populi. This is the beginning of my perpetual stealth grow. Feel free to ask, advise and whatever makes you happy.

So yeah, I have 8 successful grows.. some outdoor and some indoor with HPS, HID and CFL.. Ive missed a beat here and there because I wasn't as serious but Ive grown more passionate over the years for growing. (Pun not intended but take it as you will) I'm not in it for the money but don't get me wrong, some spare change would not hurt at all. ;) Ive got a green thumb, I feel I'm going to be quite successful in my future reaping and I hope you all will as well. I hope you enjoy this journal as much as I will and constructive criticism is always welcome.
This grow includes...

3 x 300W (180AW) LED's. (One for vegetative state, two for flowering state.)
2' W x 4' L x 5' H (Roughly 2'/Sq for vegetative state, 6'/sq for flowering state)
40% Coco coir, 19% Peat moss, 30% Perlite, 10% Vermiculite and 1% Hi cal lime. (In a homemade air pruning container)
Fox Farm Trio Pack. Will expand nutrients next harvest. (Occasional tbsp honey and molasses added. Coffee diluted with water, applied lightly by foliar spray if any pests are noticed. Reason? Caffeine is a natural insecticide. No problems so far. WARNING! Could cause nitrogen toxicity/burn if applied too heavily! )
4'' Inline Fan, 4'' duct booster and a small circulating fan. (with a homemade carbon scrubber)
Bubbled between watering and PH'd after nutrients added. I might expand to hydroponics and reverse osmosis next harvest. (Nutrient schedule based on plants needs, Can't really be specific)
I will be introducing topping, LST and pruning methods into my grow. Bushes man, Bushes. I'll be avoiding scrog for reasons of mobility. Once my grow stabilizes I will be sticking to 4 plants. (Two plants in vegetative state for two to three months, clone, then two plants thrown into flowering state, rinse repeat..)
Well, I don't think I am going to be aiming Oz/plant or gram/watt. Realistically, 1 zip/sqft.. I'll be pretty excited if I got 2 zips/sqft but time will tell.

4/10/15 - Fruity Chronic Juice at two weeks old, just transplanted and LST to promote side nodes as early as possible. (She is probably around.. 4''? I don't actually remember.)

4/10/15 - Mozambique poison the same age as fruity chronic juice. She had a huge growth spurt over the fruity chronic juice but sadly got sickly to the point of death and I had to amputate the lower growth. (I would say she is probably 6''. I didn't think she was going to make it.. I had her in a party cup under a 23 watt CFL while I was waiting on all my equipment.. That explains why they are pretty stunted for their age.. Well that and the temporary sh*tty soil mix i was using. Yeah I know but I wanted to get a head start on this grow! Anyways, I didn't notice her roots started to hang into the stagnant water because I was out of town for a while and before I knew it, Bam root rot just like that.) :wall:

4/19/15 - The explosive node growth on the FCJ is real.. It could be the LED.. Anyways this picture doesn't do it justice. (She is probably 7'', I have her lying on her side as you can tell from the main stem to the right of the picture.) :o

4/19/15 - I was having doubts with my MP, She has been very sensitive and stressed out and then.. She starts kicking again. I'm super glad I don't have to give up on her. 8-) (Starting to get new node growth but I don't know much about MP, I knew I was in for a fight with her being 100% sativa but I love my sativa herb.. She is really resisting to bush up. I think next run ill be keeping FCJ and replacing MP with Cinderella 99.)

4/23/15 - FCJ stop being so uptight ha. No but seriously, I had to tuck all major fan leaves under nodes to promote some outer growth if you're wondering why it looks droopy and I decided now would be a good time to start topping the main shoot. Oh, the smell.. When I took her out to do some tucking, my whole room had a Planty, fruity pot smell within a few minutes. I can't wait to flower but.. I must.. resist. :weed:

4/23/15 - MP just cruisin' along. Both the FCJ and MP have been topped, I see no delay in growth.. pretty content with that. :cool:

4/23/15 - It's hard to tell but they are both female, Pre-flowers have shown and I expect to see rapid growth from here on out. :hump:

4/23/15 - WARNING! Viewer discretion advised! Major pruning ahead. I'm focusing on node growth, I know what people are going to say.. Mother nature does it best and all that jazz but.. Mother nature doesn't smoke herb.. Or maybe I'm a delusional Edward scissorhands.. either way the plants are getting it and you can't stop me! o_O

4/23/15 - Well here she is, I felt the tucking of fan leaves was not going to be good enough and would stunt growth on lower nodes so I pruned her a bit.

4/23/15 - And.. Here is a picture of her outside of the tent. I don't know about you but that LED is killing my eyes.

5/13/2015 - Mozambique poison was a male, had to throw him. Fruity Chronic Juice will be vegged quite a while longer. The training is going smooth, I don't plan on pruning again for quite sometime.

8/5/2015 - I have been busy lately and finally started flowering, It should have been done alot earlier to be honest haha. Currently in week 2 of flower, recently got a 400w MH/HPS instead of the LEDs but I might get them in the future and use my HPS as a backup.. Who knows.
Transplanted my girl into a 10 gallon container up from 3 gallons. Flower chamber dimension is 2x3x5.
