Whats up guys. Ive been excited to start this journal and its finally time I get it rolling. I plan on being as informative as I can. So I guess ill jump right into this here. As far as my setup goes:
Pots: 5 gallon felt pots
Strain: Frankenstein, 2 mothers from seed and 4 clones off of each.
Light: (1) 1000w Mh light, and 4 2ft t5's
Medium: Pro mix hp biofungicide + mycorrhizae. (basically peat moss)
Area: 4x8 tent
Average Temp: 80 Degrees
Average Rh: 50%
Water: Using a pure 100 Ro water filter with a 50 gal res and plenty of air stones.
Ph: I try to keep the water around 6.7
Nutes: General Organics --> Bio Grow, Bio Thrive, CaMg+, Bio Root, Bio Weed, Bio bud, Bio Marine, and Diamond Black. I am also using a foliar spray called Sonic Bloom.
I go feed, water, water, feed, water, water. every 2-4 days as needed.
Mixed in with my foliar spray is also a little bit of Be One which is just vitamin B1.
Now heres where it gets a bit interesting... These plants are listening to a CD on repeat 24/7. The CD is made by sonic bloom, and its basically just classical music mixed with different frequencies. Allegedly these frequency's are supposed to simulate birds chirping which is supposed to open up the cells more and allow the plants to take in more nutrients and water. This is supposed to speed up the grow and increase yield. We shall see....
One thing thats a bit of an issue for me is my time frame. I have just about enough time in this place left to squeeze out one quick grow. I have two mothers that are from seed which were both given to me by a friend at about 2 weeks old. Both have been under the 1000w Mh light which I gradually cranked up to 100% and have been transplanted into 5 gal felt pots. I have had these two plants for two weeks now and I have to say (this is only my third grow) that they are growing faster than any of my previous grows. Could be because of the music? Not sure..
A few days ago I cut 4 clones off of each of these two plants and all but two have great roots and as of today have been transplanted from the aeroponic cloner to soil. I watered down the soil before transplant with 1/4 strength nutes because it is completely neutral and has no nutrients in it. The clones were placed into rock wool cubes that were soaked in water with vitamin B1 to help with the stress of transplanting. Right now the light has been on 24/7. What I'm going to do is switch the lighting to 12/12 as soon as the clones are comfy in their new homes. Part of the reason for this is my limited time frame. The other part is that I'm doing this partly as an experiment for myself because I have read up on a few guys that do 12/12 from seed and say they have good results. I wanted to combine this 12/12 theory with sonic blooms CD. This is going to be an interesting run and I hope you guys enjoy and follow along.
Also, feel free to give any input! I know I have much to learn. I will update with photos in a minute I have to take some and upload them. Thanks all, Peace.
