Welcome to Twox's very first Trichome adventure. I started this journey due to a shotage and the quality of medicine i was getting. I never thought i would ever grow my own but times are changing and i want something that's been handled with love and care. I started about 6 to 7 months ago when I started studying the art of growing cannabis all i can say is Wow... what a undertaking. I definetly felt overwhelmed at first but after a few months of reading and deciding where to start I felt comfortable enough to start buying the gear I needed to start this grow. I poped my beans, studied my issues and today Im proud to say I'm 46 days in to flower with 2 to 3 weeks left. I wanted to start this journal earlier but didn't want to show of the abuse I might cause these plants. Know that I'm confident that I'll have a harvest I wanted to share what I've learned with other new growers. After getting a feel for the different communities I really liked the attitudes of the 420 magazine users and joined.
What strain is it?
Moxie Lemon Og, Moxie Viper Cookies(1 cookie pheno, 1 OG pheno), Humboldt Seeds Bubba's Gift all from seed
Is it Indica, Sativa or Hybrid?
The Moxie genetics are both hybrids. There wasn't any percentages given by the breeder but I'm guessing the Lemon OG is 50/50. The Viper cookies is obviously Indica dominant. Bubba's gift is almost pure Indica
Vegged under a 4 4ft bulb T5 for 2 months and they have all been in flowering for 6 weeks (almost 7) under a 600 watt Hotilux using a Galaxy balast and 6in air cooled Blockbuster hood
I'm growing indoors with a 4x4 Virtual Sun tent in 3 gallon pots using Foxfarms happy frog soil. No soil amendments were added
The tent is using a passive intake powered by a 6in hydrofarm inline fan with a Black ops carbon filter. The tent Temps average about 65/70 with lights off but have dipped in the low 60's high 50's. Light on Temps are about 77/84. 84 is the max temp I've reached during flowering. Usually hovers at 81 degrees. Humidity stays between 35/45rh. I'm using two oscillating fans for air movement inside the tent. The few times I ph tested run off I was sitting at 6.5.
Any Pests ?
Yes, cats and whiteflies. The cats seem to like to chew on the leaves every chance they get (which has only happened twice when he snuck in to my grow room). They also like to climb and claw at the tent which caused pinholes all over one side that has been patched up with small squares of tape. Thanx a lot Roxie and Edward.
The whiteflies came in through the window since I leave it open to cool my grow. At first I would notice them on the outside of my tent. I added filters to the intakes but they still decided to break in and begin there process of harassing my plants. I used a all natural product to spray the plants with and almost killed the plants. I should have researched the product first and learned my lesson the hard way. I thought I killed them but they showed up again about 3 weeks in to flower. Since then i have been looking over the plants daily killing the one or two I find by hand. I've also started using yellow sticky traps but I haven't caught anything with them yet.
How often are you watering?
Once every 2 days. If I wait a third day they start drooping really bad. I was feeding every watering until they got too thirsty and now I'm feeding every other watering. The nutrients are out of General Organics Go Box with Earthjuice molasses and a little super thrive during veg. I followed the feeding scheduel on the back of the box with a few adjustments during flower.
This is a pic of day 1 in the tent
more pics coming soon
