So here we are already a few weeks into the new year. Sorry for not posting any grows in a couple months but things have been hectic as hell. I finished up my white widow grow back in the first week of December and wow did that bud turn out beautifully. Now I am at it again but this time with a vengeance.
This Time around I am changing it up, I'm going to attempt to grow out 3 new strains that I personally have never grown out before.
Ultimate Purple from BC BUD DEPOT
Green Crack from Humboldt Seeds
Blue Lemon Thai from CH9 Seeds
I spent a few grows specifically growing white widow to learn the strain and what it needs to grow, what it likes and dislikes and basically just what all I could do with that plant. These strains have been sitting in my seed collection for almost a year and now its time to grow them out. If anyone has ever grown these strains before please lend me some advice on what these ladies like and don't like.
As for the grow setup this is what I have and will be ordering:
1 - 4ftx4ftx6.5ft grow tent
1- carbon filter
1- inline fan 276CFM
3- 3.5 gallon bubble buckets
1- air pump and all air lines
3- AIT air injectors for the bubble buckets
Grodan grow cubes
Hydroton
PH pen
PPM pen
FLORAMICRO, FLORAGRO, FLORABLOOM, CALMAG, Sweet, H2O2
2- 300watt LED light panels, 150 actual watts each
1- 180watt UFO LED panel, 100 actual watts
2- 600 watt LED light panels, 360 actual watts each, these are about to be ordered and should arrive right after I start the seeds.
So to sum it up, I will be growing via DWC, using full spectrum LED lights. The last grows light wattage was, 780watts stated, 400 actual. This time around it will be 1980watts stated, and 1120 actual watts. Cant wait to see the difference. That should produce around 2x the yield as last grow.
I plan on just using LST and some topping and or fimming depending on how the plants look. If anyone has grown these strains before and can tell me what to watch out for it would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking for tips for example, like the white widow, it is a calmag hog, I figured out that if you keep her happy with calmag while shes growing especially during veg, she tends to not have a majority of deficiency issues. I found that a lot of deficiencies showing up in the white widow were actually directly related to its calcium and magnesium uptake and availability. So any info on these strains like that would be greatly appreciated. Also some yields that you guys have had growing these strains. That way I can get a better idea of what I have going on.
Secondly I have a little side project. I have around 15 or 16 regular seeds that is of a strain made in Canada. The breeder sent me the seeds in the mail. I would love to grow this strain out but since they are regular seeds and all my others are feminized I don't want to mix them. I do have another grow box, but that would mean taking out a light from the other seeds grow tent, and putting it in the smaller grow box until I can see what sex they plants are and then take a cutting from a female plant. Is there an easier way or am I about right on what I need to do to get a female from those regular seeds that I have?
I am still waiting on a apartment inspection before I set the tent back up, but once I do set it up I will be posting pics daily.
