I guess I will introduce myself first. I am a long time lurker on these forums and I decided to start growing my own stash for my life partner. A few years ago doctors found a tumor in her tibia after she started experiencing extreme pain in her leg. We tried using the prescription pain meds, but the effects were too much for her the day after. After the tumor was removed, we decided to try pot during her rehab period as an easier way to manage the pain. The effects were very relaxing and allowed her to get through this ordeal. The tumor is gone and has remained so for a couple years now :) Reading these forums for months now has inspired me to give it a go on my own. I am looking for input from all you experienced growers to help me make this a success!
So here it is: Bucket Size - 5 Gallon Medium - 75% FFOF - 25% Perlite Lights - (2) 600w HID - Veg with MH / Bloom with HPS Nutrients - Fox Farm nutrient line - following the recommended schedule from their website. Using RO water with Cal/Mag supplemented. Strain(s) - GHS - Trainwreck - 1 seed popped and grew as mother - 8 clones taken (followed the DIY aero cloner plans I found on this site !!). Room - 4x8 Grow Tent - Passive intake w/Portable AC - 400CFM Fan to cool the lights and scrub the air through a carbon filter. # of Plants: 9 (Includes Mother) Yield : Hoping for 2oz per plant. Pics Grow Room  Clones - 2nd week vegging - first full strength nutrients on week 2 of feeding schedule.  Mother - Day 21 of Bloom

Very nice. sounds very much like my setup however you are way ahead on your grow. I am putting seeds in the dirt tonight.
Hit a Home Depot/Lowe's and pick up two washing machine drip pans. They keep them back in tha appliance section. Basically a 3ftx3ftx2" plastic pan. Each one will hold 5ea 5-gal buckets and keep your tent clean. |

A+ setup my friend! Welcome! Glad to have you finally participating on the site! Looks like you did your homework big time! Also glad to hear about your partner, I'm happy he/she is okay.
Plants look fantastic. Great work! That mother looks nice and fat for only 21 days of bloom!! 2oz per plant is a very conservative estimate pal! With two 600's, and your genetics, it would not surprise me to see double that... GL, I will be tuned in with interest!

Thanks for all the positive comments
 Here are a couple bud shots from the mother in bloom.   The clones in the tent have really started to take off now. I am setting up 2 small water tanks this weekend so I can stop hand feeding with a gallon jug. I will be installing the 2nd 600watt light after I switch them over to 12/12, which I believe will happen at the beginning of the week. I will get better pics up with then. insane420 |
