Good day all. I figured I would start a new journal on my Capn' Style grow. It has been a year since I have done a journal but have had great success with this style of growing since then. The reason for the new journal is that I have been given some tester nutrients from a new hydro store that I checked out yesterday. The brand is called "Jakes" I have never heard of it before, but I am going to set aside my General Hydroponics nutes and give it a go. So as for my set up. In seedling stage my plants are under a single CFL bulb on the corner of my dresser. I only have one plant going from seed and one going from clone. I will only be following the one from seed to see how it does. Once out of seedling stage and into veg it will be placed in the veg room under a 600w MH. After a lengthy veg period it will be then placed into flower under a 1000w HPS bulb.
For those of you not familiar with a "Capn Style" grow, the medium I am in is straight rock wool. The seed is started in a starter cube and then moved to a pot that is full of rock wool crutons. In veg the plant will be top fed with the excess water going to waste. In flower the plant will be on a "res" system where the plant will be fed twice a day from a drip ring for 15 mins and the water is recycled back to the res and re-used. The plants will be trained to grow out and not up. I will be bending and topping to get the plant to reach about 3 feet across before it will be put into flower. Once in flower the plant will be put under a screen and we are trying to reach a minimum of 1lb of sweet sweet cannabis.
I will have pictures posted as soon as possible. all input and questions are welcome!! If you want a quick run down, check the link in my signature to check out my first Capn style grow.
