Hello fellow 420ers
This is my first journal and more or less my second grow. My journal will be mainly about my Sour Diesel SOG. These were clones off a girl that was struggling so I took it out of the tent just before I started the last grow into flowering. She perked up and started looking good so I took 18 cuttings and 12 days later 16 rooted and became the new crop. Then 4 weeks after I transplanted them into 2.5 liter I put them into the big tent for flowering. I did have 10 other plants that were around 3 weeks older but one of the cross members broke in the small tent and one end of the T5 fixture burned all 10 to death. A very sad day. I do have 3 unknowns and a sour diesel mom outside that have been in flower for about a week and 4 new babies that I just trans planted in my small tent. I have 2 Durban Poison, 1 Querkle, and a afgoo. So here goes, the start of a journal.
Grow area
I have two tents that I use for growing. The small one is 2ft x 4ft and 5ft tall. I use this one for the beginning vegging and I have a 12 bulb 4ft HO t5 with 6" ducting for venting into a carbon filter. The big tent is a 4'x4'x 78" and this is where the flowering takes place with a 1000 watt HPS. The light is in a cooled fixture. Ducting is 6" with two fans taking the heat out and one fan bringing in the fresh air.
Each tent has a small oscillating fan for movement.
FACTS
Strain- Sour Diesel 90% sativa / 10% indica
Vegged for 4 weeks
In 12/12 for flowering for 1 week
Indoors
Soil- purchased potting mix ingredients, compost, peat moss, earth worm castings and sand. To that I add ¼ by volume perlite, and hand full each of, bat guano, alfalfa meal, bone meal and soft rock phosphate. I try and have this mixed up at least 2 weeks in advance. The starting soil was 3 cubic ft.
This is all put into 2.5 liter pots
For veg= 4ft 12 bulb t5 HO
For flowering= 1000 HPS air cooled
80 degrees with light on 65 to 70 with light off. I have to run an A/C unit to keep the temp down on hot days. Garage gets to dam hot.
Humidity is from 45 to 60
PH of water untreated is 7.6
Media PH ?
Pests= gnats but they seem to be partly under control. Not to many on yellow sticky
Watering every two days.
Fox Farm nutes= grow big, big bloom and tiger bloom,
The start to the sea of green.
Here's the girls outside
This is the mom I had to put outside because I didn't have the room
