Hey 420 members! Welcome to my first post and first MMJ grow journal. I'm extremely excited to join this community and show you guys my horticulture skills. My goal is to see this journal to the end and gain as much information as I can.
The goods:
Strain: LA Confidential
Seed/Clone: Seeds for local grower's personal stash
Soil/Hydro: Soil
Soil Type: 55% Fox Farms Happy Frog, 45% Fox Farms Light Warrior, and 10% Locally made organic compost
Pot Size: 10Gallon Smart Pots
Lighting: CLF, 6 x 300w @ 3k kelvin and 5 x 200w @ 6.5k kelvin. Approximately 600 actual wattage drawn
Room: 4'x4'x7' amazon grow tent.
Room Temp/% Humidity: 69-83*F for veg and flower / 40-55% Hum for veg and 30-45% Hum for flower
Water: RO water @ pH 6.5-7 as needed
Nutes: Fox Farms Grow Big for vegetative and FF Big Bloom for flower.
Nute Schedule: ~ 2-3 tablespoon per gallon every other RO watering
The Philosophy:
This is really my second grow; however, my first grow turned out to be male. Bummer, since that was 3 months of veg time. I grew that plant out using a style called "main-lining" I learned from Nugbuketz(sic). In short, main-lining is just systematically topping the plant to produce even colas with equal nutrient pathways. This technique allows for all training to be complete in the veg stage and allows the grower to easily manage 4, 8, 16, or 32 colas. Just my two cents on that. The draw back is rather large plants beyond and at 8 colas for indoors. With that being said, and wanting some product this time, I decided to grow four plants and top them twice and train the plants as if they were main-lined. Now, lets get to the grow!!!
Day 0: 01MAR14
Seeds are directly planted into pots with no soaking.
Day 4: 04MAR14
Germination of all 4 plants are successful. Seedlings are now visible.
Day 14: 14MAR14
Seedlings got a tad stretchy but no worries. Supported with green garden wire. Likely, got shady from being low in pots along with poor light refraction.
-----------------------------------------------------
Day 22: 22MAR14
As predicted the seedlings have stopped streching and now growing great.
