Hello 420!
A few weeks ago I finally decided to bite the bullit and have a go at producing my own meds. So I invested my Christmas bonus in a small set up.
I hadn't even thought about starting a journal, but from the hours I have spent reading journals on your forum I realise how useful they are - not just for me but also for others growing in similar conditions. I've found every time I search the net for information I always end up on your forums, so thought this would be the best place to start.
So, I'm into week 1 on 12/12 now, but I'll go from the start:
250w digital mh / hps
0.5m2 space, 1.75m high
5" fan and filter
2 x 10l air pots
Lightly fertilized organic soil
PM oldtimer organic grow / bloom
2x seeds
RH - anywhere from 25 to 50%
Temp - on 80-82, off 68-70. Coldest night got to 65 but this was a once off.
1x WOS Skunk#1 x NL
1x Next Gen Dynamite
Things didn't get off to a good start. I didn't think and watered them with water direct from the tap for the first 2 weeks, which this time of year is pretty damn cold! This caused lockout (I'm guessing) and lower leaves started turning brown and crispy. Growth was very slow and I pretty much wasted 2 weeks of veg. The other seed took much longer to sprout and got burnt by a cfl that crashed into it one morning. Things got better though..
They started under a couple 25w cfl's, and moved on to the 250w mh for veg, and are now under 250w dual spec HPS for flower - I have a son t plus aswell I could swap to, although people are getting good results with the dual spec it seems. Temps are 2-3 deg higher with the dual spec, so might see if the son t runs cooler.
I started feeding 2ml/l grow for the last 2 weeks before switching to 12/12. Plants responded well and are drinking water fast. Going through 2-3L each and pots are very light again 48hrs later. I've upped that to 3ml/L now + 4ml/L root stim and will continue this for the first 2 weeks of 12/12.
Its about 5 weeks since I fixed the temp issue, so ~ 7 weeks total, today is day 5 of 12/12. Preflowers formed on both a few days before switching. Here's some pics up until now (earliest first):
Hope I've included all important info. Any tips or advice welcome!
