Hello 420 Friends! Hope everyone enjoyed the holidays and had a Happy New Year! Starting 2018 grow early this year. Got a ton of new gear so was too excited to wait until Spring.
What's new:
NextLight Mega
NextLight Veg8 - on the way
Vivosun 2' x 4' x 5' tent for veg (on the way as well) - My old 20" x 30" x 5' tent is too small for how many plants I plan to veg to maximize the new lights and have more variety.
Some 3 Gallon Air Pots.
Some 3 and 7 Gallon Fabric pots by Vivosun.
A remodeled flower room giving me 8" more width x 5'. So 40 sq inches of more wiggle room! I wanted to buy a 5x5 tent but just didn't have the space for it in my room. Current room is now 3'10" x 5'3" x 8'. Should be plenty for my needs.
I'll be using Recycled Organic soil that is now on 3rd use. I added a little bit of Garden Lime to the recipe this time as 90% of plants grown last round showed mag deficiencies.
Previous flower room before remodel
Current
Aaaah...so much cleaner! Taped up some white poly on the side walls so I can foliar without making a mess on the paint. The mega seems taylor made for the space
Currently 2 girls flowering:
) that was purchased on Amazon for a bill and used to veg. The first pic in the current room shows the amount of stretch that happened. LBH recovered nicely under the mega. DrG not as much. There is extra space so I let her live
Currently 7 girls vegging:
Second pic is current. Back row is all Mazar x Lani. Little seedling is AK 47. Front row from left to right is Slurricane, Sensi Star, and Lemon Lime Punch. AK was germed in paper towel and put directly into soil. Testing to see if the recipe is too hot for seedlings. Looks to be ok.
They are under a G8 LED 240 (currently my favorite of LED) until the Veg8 and new tent arrives. UPS says Tuesday
Here are some current pics of flowering girls. Both are at 60 days from seed and 14 days in 12/12.
LBH - Vigorous plant just like my last run of her. She's looking exactly the same. Going to be some long running colas on her. And hopefully super sized with the mega
DrG - Not sure what to expect. She's definitely stunted so we'll see. My first run of her as well.
Feels so good to snap shots without turning off the lights and photoshop does a sweet job with the auto white balance!
So the plan for this year is to finish the grow in ~6 months and take 6 months off. Grow more at once and take a nice break and repeat. The current vegging girls will all go into 3 gal pots and join the other flowering girls as soon as preflowers show.
On deck and to finish off is:
And we're off!
