Hi all. I started thirty seven days ago with six tiny little "rooted cuttings". They were from mothers but the stalks were more mature looking than a clone. Starting this journal for my own uses to see what I did both right and wrong. But if I can inspire anyone along the way and get good feed back, both positive and negative, thats always a plus.
Strain Cinex
Sativa dominant
Vegging for 37 days under a combination of 6500K and 2700K CFL's.
Indoors in living room at the moment
In soil 66% 4 mix and 33% Fox Farms Ocean Forest
Currently in 2? gal. pots
Using Advanced Nutrients Micro, Grow and Bloom. Should have got Sensei, will get Bloom A&B at flower
2T Micro, 2T Grow and 1T bloom per gallon, using ~ 1/2 gallon per plant every 3 or 4 days
When I received the cuttings they were well rooted in cones. I transplanted into six inch pots with Ocean Forest soil. Kept watered and no nutes for two weeks. They were pretty willty looking but perked right up after a few hours. No pictures when they were small, bummer.
As you can see at this stage they are very compact. It may be hard to tell but there are tons of bud sites. My wife and I stopped counting at forty five or so on each plant. I have been reading a lot of journals here and I am thinking that I am going for a SCROG grow. I know that you would usually start this when a baby but the way these have grown seem it will work perfectly.
As you can see I have four other plants that I plan on continuing vegging under this CFL array.
I have four more 6500K bulbs that I will be putting two on each end to fill in the ends. So far so good!
And these are the girls today.
They have been stretching a bit unfortunately so I hope the new light gets here soon!
I am in the process of converting a pallet rack into my grow "room". I will be building a 48" x 40" screen and have on order a 600 HPS dimmable ballast with a "Cool Tube" reflector and a 400 cfm inline fan. I will be lining it with Panda film and it will be separated into a veg and flower area. My light should be here on Monday or so and that will be when I start training under the screen. I would do it now but I have no other lights. When the light gets here they will start at 50% power for a few days and then turn it up to 75%. After a week or so I think it will be time to go 12/12. My plan is to keep the light there until the last two weeks or so and then kick it up to full power. This of course is assuming that it will light my 40" X 48" screen. I am thinking it will do just fine. Time to go build the screen.
