So here we go once again, had some technical issues with the beginning of my last grow and first grow journal so I shall start once again at the beginning and have you along for the ride. So I have grown in the past mainly with sunshine mix or the like, had a few run ins with dwc and experienced mild to good results. My current goal is to set up a nice grow with plenty of variety to allow me to have different smoke when I want it. I will be using a few different methods to achieve this. But for the beginning while establishing my mothers and future mothers I will be working with soiless mixes. Once the mothers have progressed into producing clones I will fill my flower space as quickly as possible using 2L single cola strait to flowers style. I will also have a six site dwc that will have the first 6 clones in it. My current set up is a 600 watt mh running in a 4 x 4 tent. Will add a second 600 and tent for flowering one month after receiving my seeds. Did set the first tent up and kept the temperatures in check but my humidity was main problem siting at 16%. So before we get running will add a humidifier. Sorry for the length of the initial post but seeing as I have almost 3 weeks to plan and organize I keep getting everything laid out so as to achieve the best possible results.
Week 1 seeds to germinate: 5 Grand Daddy Purple regular, 5 Sour Diesel Feminized, 5 of the Spiff freebies. 15 total 3 varieties
Week 2 seeds to germinate: 5 of the Spiff freebies feminized , 5 Kens Kush, and 4 Mk Ultra feminized 14 new seedlings and 3 new varieties
Week 3 seeds to germinate: 4 Mk Ultra Feminized, 8 Underdog OG feminized, 5 Spiff seed freebies feminized. 17 new seedling and 3 new varieties
Week 4 seeds to germinate: 5 Spiff seeds freebies, 2 Train Wreck, 2 Cheese, 4 Lemon Skunk, 2 The Church all feminized 15 seedlings and 5 new varieties
Week 5 seeds to germinate: 2 Great White Shark, 2 White Rhino, 2 Blue Fruit,2 Diesel, and 2 Industrial Plant, 2 Hawaiian Snow, all are feminized. 12 seedlings 6 varieties
Week 6 seeds to germinate: 6 Critical, 2 Hawaiian Snow, 1 Super Silver Haze, 1 Arjan's Strawberry Haze, 1 Big Bang, and 1 El Niño. 12 seedlings 6 new varieties
Hopefully with this germination schedule it should allow me to have the week one girls cloned and into flower by the time I have finished planting the last of my seeds.
Now with the freebies and the like that would give me

Will update once a week or sooner when I have received the seeds. So I really hope to be seeing you soon once my beans have arrived they will have a nice little home ready for them.
As far as nutrients go will be running the full advanced nutrients line for flower and a combo for the vegetative stage as well. Will be running at ¼ strength to start with and slowly making my way up to hopefully full strength. The most important component left for me as far as nutrients go will be to get a R/O filter and I will need a meter for my ppm as I already have a ph tester. Also from past experiences will stock up on Ph down.
Lighting cycle I plan to use a 12 hour on 5.5 hours off 1 on 5.5 off as this seems to get fantastic results and cuts down on electricity enough so that I am thinking of how to use my 400 hps that had been my light. Currently envisioning a very small flower chamber that will hold males and any females I decide to breed for seed stock. With three lamps 2 600 watts and 1 400 watt this would be the schedule of lights on and off with a cost of 20.4 Kilowatts used or 78 dollars at 13 cents a kilowatt hour. The cost for two 600 watts running one 12/12 and one 18/6 then the cost would be 69 dollars at 13 cents a kilowatt hour. So by bumping to the GLR routine it would only cost 10 dollars more per 30 days but add a separate 400 watt flowering tent. Giving me a total of 1000 flowering watts.
The grow will start slow and vamp up to a significant size grow hopefully producing at the minimum of 1 gram per watt per 9 — 10 week period.
Current DIY projects on the table are
30+ site cloner much like the ones featured here
Small Aeroponic set up 4 — 6 sites
DWC 5 gallon standalone buckets
And a 2L army
A small cabinet for my 400 watt for my proud dads to spread their seed.
If I like the aero set up then I would like to build a larger one that will work in my current 4 x 4 tent. Have to play around with it to see how I like it.
I have the tent and pics incoming but have also C.A.D. my tent and its just as good looking as an empty tent at the moment. Kinda of excited of the prospect of the beginning of my search for good genetics.

That gives me a total of 22 — 24 varieties depending on the spiff 5 pack freebies, and 85 seeds if my math is correct. Orders are broken up in two orders as well as including a ton of freebies from these two orders but everything should be a total of.Dinafem Sour Diesel Feminized 5 pack
