Hello 420mag!
This will be my first grow journal on 420mag and my second grow so let's dive in. This grow journal will be a record of the multiple strains that come and go through the garden. I have big plans for the future
So at this time my garden has 5 beautiful green crack ladies that are 24 days into flower. They are under 2 old style mars hydro 100x3watt led grow lights. Lights are on from noon to midnight. I have 2 more green crack clones of unknown sex and 2 seedlings vegging right now. While the lights are off in the flowering room I have them under a 125w 6500k cfl. When lights come on I move the vegging plants and the cfl into the flower room. It's tedious moving them back and forth twice a day but I have really tall sativa phenos of the GC so I get a lot of penetration when I hang the cfl vertically underneath the canopy. I know it's only 125w but for the most part I make myself do it because I don't like to allow myself to be lazy. If that act of preventing laziness yields me even only 2 more grams, it will be completely worth it.
I will probably include updates on the GC as it is finishing but my real focus for this journal is the genetics we have lined up.
The GC is my first grow ever. I learned so much and am really excited to make a few tweaks to my system and see how the results stack up. So more info on the grow:
Medium: 1.Seeds and clones are started in Grodan cubes.
2.GC are in FFOF/Perlite ~60/40
3. The seedlings and clones were transplanted into solo cups with a mix of Fox farm ocean forest/Fox farm happy frog/Perlite ~33.3/33.3/33.3 I had heard good things about mixing them and was curious. I will be running this mix until I run out of the soil. I then want to try something like sunshine mix #4 or a large scale outdoor grower I just talked to recommended roots 707. Any input on these soils would be welcome.
Size pot: My GC girls are finishing in 2 gal smart pots. I intend to flower my next girls out in 5 gals.
Nutes: I am running the Lucas formula throughout the cycle except for flush. I started adding ROCK Resinator in week 3 of flower and I add 1tbsp of molasses per gal on regular feedings all the way to finish even through flush.
Let's talk genetics: the green crack is bag seed, not necessarily reputable genetics but it exhibits traits that resemble green crack from what I have read about the strain.
next we have the 2 seedlings. From a close friend of mine, He had some really dank bud. The first time was some really snowy resin covered purple bud with a faint sort of lavender smell. I got 1 seed from that. The other stuff was some really dank OG kush he had while we were all partying on his boat. I got one seed of that. So those are the 2 seedlings. I placed an order at Attitude seed bank last week. Pretty excited! Took advantage of some deals and got a bunch of freebies!
Here's the line up:
ordered 5x emerald triangle Auto lemon haze Fem
got all these for free:
2x emerald triangle "emerald Jack"
1xCH9 Seeds Black Widow x Blue Lemon Thai
1xCali Connection Seeds Jupiter Og
1xHumboldt Seed Organization Chocolate Mint OG
1xCali Connection Seeds Black Kush
1xWorld of Seeds AUTO Northern Lights x Big Bud
1xBlimBurn Seeds Grizzly Purple Kush
So that's the line up and I am so excited for some of these strains. Now I ordered these strains for a reason. I want to be able to veg long enough to make beautiful LSTed bonsai mothers but I don't want to wait that long for more bud. The solution is the auto flower strains. The lemon haze is 60 days from germ. I can keep the whole room in a veg light cycle after the GC get harvested, then I get a harvest while putting size on the mothers to be.
That's all for now. I will post some pictures tomorrow and we will get things under way. I'm excited to be here. I have lurked on a lot of really great growers on here and I hope I will get some love and attention from some professionals here. All advice, tips, and criticism are welcome.
Thanks,
BD
