Introduction
This grow journal is going to feature a combination grow of Green Crack from Humboldt Seeds (x2) as well as Tutankhamun from Pyramid Seeds (x2). Since these plants have the same sativa/indica ratios (60/40) as well as the same flowering period (60-65 days) I figured that they should work out nicely in a SCROG. I should be able to get a pretty even canopy of growth between the two strains.
Strains
Green Crack - Humboldt Seeds
Genotype: 60% sativa / 40% indica
THC: 18+%
CBD: 0.1%
Flowering: 60-65 days
Tutankhamon - Pyramid Seeds
Genotype: 60% sativa / 40% indica
THC: 23-30%
CBD: 1.8%
Flowering: 60 days
Medium
I will be using coco as my growing medium as it keeps things very simple. I have been mixing my coco with growstone at a ratio of 60/40 and that has been working very well for me. As the plants get larger it allows for a more frequent watering schedule giving it an opportunity to utilize more nutrients. If I run into any nutrient problems, I also have the ability to easily flush and adjust. I also pre-charge my coco with 5.9 PH RO water with 250 ppm Calmag.
Water/Nutrients
For all feedings/waterings I will be using RO water at 5.9 PH along with the House and Gardens (H&G) Cocos A/B nutrient mix and schedule. In addition to the base nutrients I will also be using a mycorrhiza powder, roots accelerator, molasses, and additional flowering nutrients such as Bud XL and Shooting Powder.
Lighting
For lighting I am running the MARS Reflector 192 x 5 led light. I cannot say enough good things about this light. My last grow of White Widow and CBD Therapy yielded 15.61 oz of bud and 2.89 oz of quality trim. I went with a vegetative light cycle of 20/4 and a flowering light cycle of 12/12.
Grow Space
For this grow I am using:
4x4x8 Fusion Hut (1680D)
4" Vortex Fan (200CFM)
4" Fresh Air Filter
5 Gallon Eco Grow Sacks
3' x 3' Flood Table
Drip System
Technique
The technique that I am using is going to be SCROG. I am going to top each plant twice and LST train them into nice symmetrical plants. After the second topping, I am going to put up a 4' x 4' screen with a 4" x 4" grid. That is a total of 144 potential grid sites in the scrog. I like to give myself the option of filling more grid sites if possible but sometimes it is better to go for every other grid site so as not to crowd out the SCROG.
Germination
I am looking at starting germination tomorrow and should be planting on Sunday or Monday. I have had a great deal of success using the paper towel method and will likely just stick with that. RO water at 5.9 PH wil be used.
