Hello everyone and thank you for taking the time to check out my first grow journal ever!
I'll be growing Caramelo from clones. They're already about 10" tall and looking good.
This will be a SCROG and it will be my first time doing a SCROG as well. SO, a lot of firsts but this will be fun.
The reason I chose this particular strain may be odd to some but for me its just what all the signs pointed to.
just a short while after turning 16 my little sister, a fiend for the caramello candy bars. died in a Carbon Monoxide accident along with her boyfriend. A good guy by all accounts. So while scouring information about different strains and deciding what I wanted to put in my tent. Caramelo came across my screen. the information I got on it made it seem do-able and i mean, come on, the name, life seemed to be giving me the answer. so there you go.
Caramelo is a 70/30 Sativa hybrid and is said to 'thrive in scrog systems as it reacts rapidly to pruning and produces a large number of secondary branches'.
So here is my run down.
Strain - "Caramelo" - 70/30 Sativa
Stage - Veg (as of me writing this it is currently day two of my project)
Indoor Tent - Growlab 2x4x6'7
Soil - Foxfarms Ocean Forest (should i add something else?)
Container - #5 pots with dishes under to catch runoff
Light - 600w MH veg / 600 hps bloom on quantum digital dimming ballast.
Hood - Sunlight Systems Vented hood.
Temps - Well when i took a picture of my temps i didnt have my meter where i wanted it, i've fine tuned a few things for my in/outtake am currently sitting at 80f with 38% RH
No pests today!
The pictures are from day 1 and the pictures of the finished product are where my clones came from. though that run was not done with the Scrog method
TO DO's
Build my net (Duh). ill be using sch40 pvc pipe and fittings with that orange plastic fencing stuff. that should be done this afternoon.
Get my recipe on nuits down pat. I'll be using the GH 3 part system but i'm still doing my homework on exact measurements to use as well as any additives. Picture of my supply of nutrients has been provided and any suggestions would be appreciated.
Im going to go with a 18/6 veg and will need to buy a better intake fan and filter. temps maxed out last night at 84.6f and 19% humidity. im going to be bringing fresh outside air and venting it out through the awesome wye i made to run my dryer vent and outtake through. its pretty Macgruber if you ask me.
Thanks in advance for your interest and suggestions.
