let me start off by saying that reading these forums has been unbelivably helpful to me and i am very thankful to everyone here who has unknowingly tought me everything i know about growing. i feel that i have gained a lot of growing knowlege but there is always more to learn. So It is my pleasure to share with you My 5th grow.
I am growing 11 plants taken from my blue venom mother. They are in a 8x4 Secret jarden tent. under 2 600w lights in soil. I have recently upgraded my ventalation to a 8" exhaust and a 6" intake. I have the intake fan running on a day/night tem controler that keeps the temps between 75 to 81.there are also 2 tower fans on either side of the tent. This is my first grow controling the temps but from what i gather it makes a big difference in the final outcome. im planning on dropping the night temps to around 55-60 during the second half of flower in an atempt to bring out some fall colors.
These plants where veged for about a month and a half in 1 leter pots as i was waiting for my last grow to finish. then i moved them into 7 gallon smart pots and into the flower tent where they veged for another 2 weeks to ajust to the larger pots. so they have been veged for a total of 2 months.
This will be my 3rd grow monetring ppm and ph. so im starting to grasp the concept but dont have it down fully yet.
i mix nutes in a 5 gallon bucket and start a siphon with a garden hose to water them. its a little ghetto but i think i need to have my nute regement down fully before i go hydro...will be coming soon though.
soo, nutes... i use heavy 16 a and b for my base. i havent done it this way in the past but an planning on working my ppms up 100 every week. starting at 1200 and topping out at 1600 in week 5. i mix 30% of the total ppm with additives. they are... heavy 16 prime, Koolbloom liquid, dark energy, the general hydro version of roots excel and molasas. THen i use Humbolts gravity for a bit twards the end of flower.
I was given some big bud and bud candy the other day so i think ill throw them in as well. im thinking that if the KB is 0-10-10 and the big bud is about 1/3 the strength it would = 0-3-9 so i think that ill mix something like 2/3 a dose of big bid with 1 dose of KB for 0-12-16 (Sort of like a variation of a pk 13-14 mix) then im also not shure wether i should even use the bud candy because i think its just carbs with l amino acids. and between the mollasas and dark energy i think i may have it covered.
i also use Heavy 16's foliar feed and i add superthrive to it up intill week 4. then i switch to spraying with purple max and in the last couple of weeks i spray verry lightly with briximus maximus.
Sorry About writing an essay for the oppener but now that iv got you up to speed we can comense with the photos.
Any comments are GREATLY apresheated. i dont know anyone else who grows so it will be nice to finally discuss My obsession with other like minded people.
