Hey all, I just wanted to start my journal by saying thanks to everyone on this forum for bringing me up to speed. I have been "out of the game" for like 10 years. I am still kind of a NOOB, as I have done only 3 indoor grows. My last operation was SCROGGing under 2 1000wHPS's in a 4x8 tent in Los Angeles. I was growing clones, and got ravaged by powdery mildew, and then had to move in a pinch. Some of the plants ended up fantastic, and 60% of them ended up not so nice. I sold all my stuff off and walked away for a long time. But now I am back!
And now for the real fun!
I will be running two tents during this setup. A 2x4 mother/seedling tent with a 4', 4 bulb T5 lamp. The other tent is a 4x4 flowering tent, which will be equipped with two of the new @Budget LED series 3+ red spec 250w lamps! I am super excited to use these lights. My only other experience with LEDs was a shitty blurple thing I ran alongside a 150w HPS in a 2x2.5 cabinet once. Now we are in the big leagues!
I aim to establish a few mothers in my seedling tent and run a perpetual SOG with 0 veg clones. This has been a dream of mine for quite some time. I may gravitate to less plants as time moves on, but if I dont have an army of lollipops once in my life, I will have regrets.
In the mean time, while I grow out some mommies and get that set up, I will be 'test driving' my flowering tent with some autos from Fast Buds! I have 5 seeds each of OG Kush (my all time favorite strain), Grapefruit, and Cream Cookies. All three of these strains are super tantalizing to me. So I am having a hard time deciding which beans to pop. I may go a little crazy and do 6 plants, 2 of each, but that may get a little tight, so it might end up being 2 OG Kush, 1 CC, and 1 Grapefruit.
I would like to grow these in 3 gal hempy buckets with the GH Flora series.
Waiting on the LEDs as they are currently preordered, the rest of the stuff is on the way. I will update once the mother tent is assembled and I am ready to go.
In the meantime, I will be researching quadlining (was a huge LST fan back in the day). Anyone who wants to come along for the ride or give some advice is more than welcome. Let's do this!
