Right, Hello and welcome to my first ever journal, thanks for stopping by and feel free to have a mosey around.
The boring part:
Strains that I've decided on for this run are:
Amnesia Lemon,
Top Dawg,
Tangie Dream,
Kiwi Skunk.
There is no reasoning behind why I chose these I just did, maybe it was the pretty pictures, the amazing reviews, or because they all except for the Kiwi got really good reviews and possibly I'm into those winning cup Barneys strains.
Medium used:
Seedling phase is a mix of Peat moss, perlite and some compost in pots.
But will be transplanted into 50 Litre (13 gallon) fabric pots containing peat moss, compost, worm castings and chicken manure.
GOING FULL-ON ORGANIC INDOOR
Lights and :
For the VEG ill be using my trusty 4 X T5 5ft fluorescent fitting with 2 X cool and 2 X daylight temp tubes.
They will be on a timer 18 hours on and 6 hours off.
A little usb fan will be blowing the "hot" air off the fitting so as not to create too much heat.
For FLOWER ill bring in my single 1000W HPS and digital ballast as well as an exhaust inline fan and ducting to keep things at a reasonable temperature.
OH! Did i mention I stay in South Africa and summer time temps get up to 30'C (86'F) indoors so an air conditioner will come into play when things start to get weird.
THE ORGANICS:
Worms! and their castings - very important!
I have a great garden with very rich soil so I don't need to add too much to it except the Peat for some aeration.
My main focus is feeding the soil and all the life within it to have an optimum "living soil".
My feeding schedule will incorporate:
Water, Seaweed extract, Molasses, Bone and Blood meal liquid fert, Chicken manure tea, Worm wee tea, a touch of Silica, Fulvic acid, H202 for that extra oxygen molecule.
Ill touch on the teas and my methodology as we go on.
Well, here are some PICS, currently on week 9 somewhere, they have been outside but as its our rainy season the sun has been very scarce and growth has been slow. Currently outdoors our daylight hours are 13 hours, 41 min. So i hope with the Fluorescent and the 18hr light schedule we should see some growth spurts coming up.
Thank you for your time and happy growing!
