Basically I decided a couple months ago to go ahead and start growing myself due to the extreme prices in my area and horrible quality even though both possessing and growing are HIGHLY illegal where I live. Did my research and talked to the ol' lady and got the go ahead. She gave me about a 3x4 space in the spare br and it had to be some-what discreet. So I designed a grow tent and started collecting materials. I originally ordered a Cheese Auto and got a Lemon Skunk Auto and a Bubba Kush Fem for free from True North Seedbank. The Cheese and the Lemon Skunk did not pop. I started a threat about this on another site. Anyway the Bubba Kush ended up being the only one that popped so I decided to go ahead and try to do a large single plant grow using the manifolding or main-lining technique along with some others like super-cropping, etc. So here is the start of my journey.
Bubba Kush Fem born on 3/15/16.
The Grow Setup
Home Depot Mobile Closet. White Cloth, Zip Up, 3.5’x4’x6’.
14CFLs- 8 100w Equiv 2700k, 4 100w Equiv 5000k, 2 150w Equiv 6500k spread around the grow box.
2 Misc. Small fans from HD or Walmart.
2 Large Surge Protector Power Strips and small extension cords. Light timers, temp/humidity reader, pH meter, lumen meter.
12" Plastic Pots
Fox Farms Ocean Forest Soil
1 Bubba Kush Fem Bean
Germination
3/14/16 Bean dropped in saucer of water. Popped 24 hours later and planted tap root up just under surface and covered. Wrapped plastic over top of pot.
Sprout
3/15/16 Sprout emerges from soil.
3/16/16 8:50pm I removed the plastic bag due to the sprout touching the bag. Right now I have just 1 100w equiv 5000k cfl about 5in away from the sprout on 18/6. Once the 2 main leaves show I will transplant into its final 12in pot and it will go into the grow box with a 3:1 ratio of 5000k:2700k until flower, which then it will go 1:3 on 12/12.
Seedling
3/20/16 Seedling was getting a little stretchy and was about 4" tall with its first node leaves starting to shoot up. Decided to do the transplant. Put seedling in a 12" Pot with FF Ocean Forest and a couple large smooth stones at the bottom of the pot for better drainage. Plant is now inside of the grow tent with 4-100w Equiv 5000k's 2-60w Equiv 5000k's and 2-100w Equiv 2700k's. Temp is reading high due to lights and hood being so close..82 deg F.
I will throw some pics up tomorrow when the lights are on.
