Whats up Mag??
Its been a long time. Once some years back I started a newbie thread and then abandoned it. That guy!! Well I decided to give it another crack. I might have quit on the journal, but not on growing. When I first started out in 2014 I started with DocBuds kit and then I moved on to General Oganics, and then I tryed supersoil and then I switched to Vegamatrix which I am currently running. I've grown lots of different strains. At one point I ran a lot of Exotic Genetics gear and some of TGA's as well. Some of my all time favorites are JillyBean, GG4, Putas Breath and Marrion Berry Kush.
My current grow is just getting underway in Flower, literally, tomorrow is day one. This grow has not been ideal by any means. First these plants were cut as clones in APRIL!! you read that right april. I know your probably thinking these fucking things have to be monsters and that would be a fair assumption, but they are not. For most of these plants lives they have been neglected and ignored. Not purposely.. Unfortunetly for me and my family these last 6 months or so have been challenging to say the least. It started with a city inspection. I rent and in the city I live in rental properties have to be inspected every 2 years. I grow legally but I am almost certain the city would find a reason to fail the home I am living in and that is problems I dont want to have, so I quit growing.. It sucks but I kept clones of my stable. I have a small little mother tent that is 24x48x36 so I put my rooted clones into solo cups with a small t5 and waited for the inspectors to come. Well I waited and I waited and I waited. They never showed. I wanted to throw one of my tents back up, but I only get a 48hr notice before the inspection and I am father of 4 and I work a lot of hours a week and 48hrs isnt enough. Finally in August they came. They inspected and we passed. Immediately I put my tent back up and started to bring my babys back to life. Well another curve ball came and I wasnt ready for it.
My daughter was diagnosed with brain cancer in May of 2016. She has a very aggressive tumor and her original prognosis was less than a year, but my daughter is a fighter and within a year the Tumor shrunk and started to dissipate. She remained in remission for 18 months, but in september an MRI showed 25% growth. I didnt understand, her last MRI was in July and everything was fine. 25% in 6 weeks. My head was fucked up and my plants reflected it due to neglect. Unfortunately it doesnt stop there. In early Oct I was out of state visiting my father who was about to have.. Wait for it... brain surgery!! My father went into surgery and came out fine. The next day everything was going how the doctors said it was suppose to go.. I went to go get lunch and left my phone in my fathers room. When I came back 20 mins or so later I had 5 missed calls from my wife and a text message that said CALL ME ASAP!! To make a long story short my daughter collapsed and was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. The tumor shifted and cut off the brains ability to drain fluid which caused pressure and the pressure caused bleeding and the blood reached the brain stem which left my daughter unconscious and unresponsive and unable to breath on her own.
Now, on the same day my father also had bleeding in the brain and the blood also reached the brain stem. My father who I just left was also unconscious and unresponsive..............
My daughter started to improve after the 3rd day. She was taken off of the breathing machine after 5 days and opened her eyes after 10. She was discharged from the hospital with hospice care after 21 days..
My father never improved.. He passed away on the same day my daughter was released from the hospital.
My daughter has continued to improve and she has come further than any doctor had imagined. The power of prayer and her will to live are inspiring. My wife and I provide her daily care and with her improving as much as she has I have been able to find an outlet with my passion..

Now that I got that off of my chest lets get into what everyone is here for
I am running Three tents at the moment. Veg tent aka the green monster is a 4x8x80 tent with two 4ft 8 bulb T5s running 19/5 light schedule. I have a osculating fan moving air and canfan mounted in the ceiling stirring the air around. I ran out of ducting( I put the tent together today) but soon I will have the inine fan exhausting air from the top.
I have two flowering tents, one is a 4x8x80 and the other is a 4x4x80. The 4x8 aka bertha has two air cooled HPS hoods that are currently running at 600 watts. the 4x4 aka area 51 has one air cooled HPS hood running at 750 watts. Both tents have a 440 CFM inline fan exausting air from the top through the filter and out through the lights, plus a smaller 4in fan bringing air in from the bottom. The temps in both rooms has remained 75 degrees and the humidity is a little low in the 40% range.
I am using the complete VegaMatrix line plus Rhizotonic, Recharge, and Mammoth P
I use promix HP in 7 gallon pots
I have 4 plants per light Scrogged. I am rather new to scrogging and due to the conditions above this is not your typical fundamentally sound Scrog. Over the past few weeks I have been cutting my plants down to a manageable size. I also shaved my ladies legs and removed any growth that wasnt healthy. Its agressive and some wont like it, but it works for me. Before applying the net I bent over by hand the tops of my plants. After that I applied the net and then began to shape the plant into the scrog by streching the plants out and filling in as many of the squares as possible. Right now the ladies look kinda sad but in a day or two they will thank me..
The strains I am running were either pheno hunted by myself or cloned from an outside source.
The list is:
Desire from motarebel gentetics.. I dont remember the lineage but I am pretty certain she has heavy Sour D genes. She yeilds bright green nugs that flood the room with diesel smell as soon as you open the bag and she tastes like her smell.. Very unique
Future from exotic Genetics. I believe she is GG4xThe Cube. She grows long colas that get frosty, dense, and lean towards the mom in the fragrance department.
Marrion Berry Kush from TGA/Heroes of the farm.. I think she is Rasberry KushxSpace Queen. She grows super frosty dense buds.. I have a very kushy pheno. Plenty of color.. One of my favs
Purple Starburst from Compound Genetics.. She is Starburst OGxPurple Punch. I have only growin this once but damn is she good.. Golfball nugs that are dense and bright green with purple hues. Tons of frost and a good smell.. OG lovers seem to dig this
Purple Punch 2.0 from compound Genetics. She is a bX1 and I dont know how she compares to the original PP but I really love this.. It smells like fruit punch and it produces possibly the frostiest nuggets I have ever grown
Puta Breath from Thug Pug Genetics. Puta is Wedding CakexMendo Breath. She isnt the biggest yeilder and her nodal spacing sucks but the fucking quality of buds she produces makes her more the worth it. She has quickly made her mark.
I think I might be in competition for the sites longest post ever, so I will leave you with some pictures that I snapped today.

, however, today I took care of most of what I set out to do yesterday. Plants are all tucked in and fed, but this ducting is kicking my ass. You would think this is a simple task I would agree, but in my typical fashion I am making things as difficult as possible. In order to vent the expelled air from my veg tent I need a Y connector. A y connector that I already have, but where this Y connector is located is beyond me. When I took down my garden back in April I made sure to take a extra precautions to centrally locate all of my equipment in one spot. Apparently I did an amazing job with one exception. Fucking Y connector.. I will find you.
