Hi, this is a journal for my first grow since...well, a long time ago..
I'm a MMJ patient growing for myself and my mom. I have a 16 x 27 foot workshop that I'm using about 16 x 20 of, divided into 3 parts. 10 x 16 flower room, 10 x 8 nursery/veg, and 10 x 8 clone mother space.
Current strains : (unknown) claimed to be Charlotte's Web, Oregon Purple Danish, Blue Dog (or Dawg), Cheese Quake, CBD God, and White Widow.
Pots : 10 Ace Hardware half gallon paint buckets, 8 x 1 gallon regular pots. Once the first 10 are transplanted I'll get rid of the paint buckets.
Medium : 4 of the half gallon buckets are Miracle Grow Potting Mix mixed with some medium grind vermiculite. All the rest have Fox Farms Ocean Forest. (nothing added)
Expected Yield : Claims of 400-600g per plant, but I doubt it. I'd be happy with a pound per.
Veg space, 1 x 600W MH about 18 inches above. Temp controlled room stays between 70-78 under the light. Humidity right now stays between 42-50. Light cycle is 18/6.
Clone Mother space is essentially the same as veg.
Flower space is 2 x 600W HPS with reflective material on the walls and 54W 4ft floros about 4ft high on the walls. Inline exhaust fan (440 CFM) with 18" carbon filter vented out an old wood stove pipe.
I started with the smaller buckets and Miracle Grow due to excitement and impatience. Then calmed down and bought the other pots and Fox Farms soil. I also started with 2 T5 4ft floros over them, but growth was slow. I opted for a 600W MH and they suddenly stood up and took off. Then they slowed again, so I got some Jack's Classic 20-20-20 and mixed 1/8 teaspoon per gallon and the growth over the last few days has been very impressive. All but 2 of the smaller buckets have had their first clip and the next clip will be FIM since I'd like to maximize yield, but allow them to get around 5ft tall if they are so inclined. 3-4ft is ok too though.
Here are some pictures I just took a few minutes ago.
I hope you enjoy following along with me on this journey. My ultimate goal is a perpetual harvest while staying well within our legal limits.
