Sorry for starting this journal so late. Between doing so much reading for the last couple months and hesitation of posting anything, I am just now getting around to it. Biggest thing I've learned so, this really isn't all that difficult at all if you take your time and do enough research first. Also, don't be in such a rush to react to every little thing. This will be a medical grow, trying to see if sativa strains will work for me. Nothing available where I live so I will have to grow it to try it. So, let's get to it.
Strains: Kali Mist by Serious Seeds(Sativa), C99 by Female Seeds(Sativa), Nirvana Auto Northern Lights(Indica Freebie)
Days from Seed: Kali Mist @ 31 days, C99 @ 23 days, Auto NL @ 31 days.
Grow Medium: Sunshine Advanced #4 with 20% coarse perlite added.
Grow Area: Dual 2'x4'x6' cabinets(veg/bloom). ~36" of available plant height, not including pot.
Size of light? Dual 300W LED Panels in each cabinet(can't name the brand here).
Light Distance: 36" seedling, 18" currently
Temp of Room/cab? 70-80F
RH of Room/cab? ~45%
PH of media or res? Somewhere in range
How often are you watering? About every 4 days.
Veg Nutes: AN Sensi Grow 2part(1/4), Voodoo Juice(full), B-52(1/2)
Bloom Nutes: AN Sensi Bloom 2part, B-52, Bud Ignitor, Big Bud, Bud Candy, Overdrive
First up is the Kali Mist, the main strain I am interested in due to the reports on the effects. This was planted in a solo cup 31 days ago, after 24 hours of soaking in water. It went to a 1 gal plastic pot at about 2 weeks and began using the nutes listed above. Then to the current 5gal smart pot at about 3 weeks, the growth exploded each time. Watering with nutes at every watering, every 4-5 days. About 9.5" tall here.
I tried to FIM her, but it doesn't appear to have worked properly as it seems the main shoot is still growing. I wasn't planning on tying the main stalk over so I am going to try to rely on topping to allow the new lower shoots to catch up.
I ended up topping instead to fix the FIM that didn't take. Hoping this is going to make a difference as I want to end up with right at a 36" plant with several colas. I am hoping to get at least 2oz from her, not quite sure if I will get there. Currently about 10" tall.
Next, the C99, a similar aternative to kali mist. This was planted in a solo cup 23 days ago, after 24 hours of soaking in water. It went to a 1 gal plastic pot at about 2 weeks and began using the nutes listed above with the exception of the grow nutes. The C99 is very sensitive to nute strength so I had to cut back to 1/8th strength. Will be moved to the final 5gal smart pot pretty soon. Currently about 4-5" tall. Just did the first top right above the 4th node. Hoping to get at least 2oz off this one as well if I can.
Finally, the Auto Northern Lights, a freebie and possibly a night/weekend smoke. This was planted directly into the final 3gal smart pot 31 days ago, after 24 hours of soaking in water. Began using the nutes listed above about 2 weeks in. Got a bit of nute burn a week or so ago but seems to have stopped. Started showing pistols about 5 days ago and it growing quickly now, gained 1.5" overnight. Currently at 13" tall and looking good. I have not done any training/topping and don't plan to.
This is the veg cabinet where everything currently is. The light on the right above the NL has both the veg and bloom switches on now. The Kali Mist and the C99 will be moved to the identical bloom cabinet next to this one and have clones taken(seeds are expensive). So each plant will have a 2'x2' footprint and about 36" of vertical height available not including the pot. More on the bloom cabinet and air filtration later...
Feel free to comment, make suggestions, etc... Hoping I end up with the yield I'm wanting and the type of bud I'm after. Thanks!
