Hi everyone! Very new here, been lurking for months but thought I would pop out and finally properly say hello!
This is my first ever grow journal, very happy for your input. I usually see imperial units but I work in metric so I've done my best to indicate both.
My first grow was a single cola autoflower Blue Dream I just threw in soil and didn't do much with. Just learnt a ton
My second grow is currently in late flower (happy to share pics if interested, they're currently in Week 7-8 flowering). Now in hindsight I wish I'd started a journal earlier so learning from that mistake too and starting with this one! So without further ado...
Strain: G13 Haze
Type: This is a G13 Indica crossed with a Haze to give it a more uplifting feel. Unsure about percentages.
Stage: Plant 1 (Rocinante) is entering Week 3 veg. Plant 2 (Ava) is entering Week 2 veg.
Indoor in 1m x 1m x 2m (3'x3'x6.6") tent in Biobizz Light Mix with a 3cm base of hydroton pebbles in 12 liter air pots.
Lights: 600W HPS with 380cm3 outtake fan pulling through a carbon filter. 250cm3 input fan and two clip on fans at base of pots and top of canopy. Light is 70cm from canopy and timer is on 20/4 schedule. (I'm currently flowering 4 autoflowers and vegging two photoperiod plants in the same space - not ideal and this is going to cause me problems soon.)
Temp: Temp moves between 18.8C (65.8F) and 27.1C (80.8F).
RH is 27-38% (Temp and RH are monitored at canopy level with remote probe).
PH: Anything input is at 6.3, runoff 6.5.
No pests.
Watering when area 2cm from stem is dry to first index knuckle
Nutes: Started with Roots Excelurator (heard great things, first time using, will report on experience) for first 2 weeks at 0.3ml/L.
Current regimen is for week 3 slowly watered today, only took half liter (≈ 0.5 quart) before running out the bottom.
1) 0.3ml/liter (1.1ml/gallon) Roots Excelurator
2) <1m/liter (3.5ml/gallon) Biobizz Grow
2) 3ml/liter (3/4 tbsp/gallon) molasses
I'm really paranoid about getting oxygen into the pot as my first two grows were both severely plagued by insufficient oxygen in the medium. These airpots are proving pretty awesome so far.
Plan:
Mainline for 4 colas using Nugbucket's technique but only going for 4 colas because I need to harvest by early July...
Today I snipped Rocinante above the 3rd cola, and cleaned all but two sets of fan leaves. I haven't seen this done elsewhere but figured the extra fan leaves would power the relatively young growth tips. I'm aware I've cut a bit on the early side but I really didn't want to waste time with a top I won't use and since I'm only aiming for four colas I figured I could expedite. We'll see if this proves fatal!
Peeking in: Rocinante is in the front left, Ava rear left. The others are from my second grow, now in late (week 8/9) flower. This journal isn't about them, but just to give you a sense of the space.
This is Ava, she's just finished her second week of veg.
This is Rocinante, just before snipping her for my first attempt at mainlining.
Rocinante after the snip. I snipped above the third node but left the fan leaves from the second and third node attached and removed everything else.

Happy for any followers!
