Ok, here goes my first attempt at a grow journal. This will be my 3rd (ish) grow overall. The first grow was an unknown seed from the freebies that came with my order from AMS. The second grow was Caramelicious from seed. Grow 3 is the clones from grow 2's moms.
Here is a synapses of the first two grows:
Grow 1. Unknown seed, growing under (1) 180w LED from Advanced LEDs. Using a fogponics setup in 5 inch square fence post material. Space is a 2x4x4 space. Ended up with a little over a QP for the effort and decided that fog was a no-go for future grows. One of the issues was with the fog getting into everything, and fouling fans and charcoal filters with fogged nutes/salts.
Some pics of grow one.
Grow 2. Caramelicious seeds, germinated 6 out of 6 (great germ rate, saved the other 4 for later). Vegged them for 3 weeks and then took 4 clones of each. Based on 50% female, that would have given me 12 healthy clones to use to fill out the grow. Ended up with 3 females and killed the males.
I changed setups and went with an aeroponics setup using 4 inch round pvc and some spray heads aimed at the root zone. I had these vegging under the Advanced 180w waiting for my (2) 300w LEDs from GLH. They vegged longer than I planned (by 2 weeks) and became unruly beasts in the space. I had planned on putting some of the clones in with them, but by this time they had overgrown the space.
This system seemed to work very well once the 300s were in place, still in the same 2x4x4 space. I netted 3/4 lb of dried and cured bud from this grow.
