Hey 420, how's it going?
Well, after a long and successful grow (I say this before it's fully cured), I'm going to get things going again for the next crop. I learned a lot from my last grow, mainly that I didn't utilize my scrog properly. There were also suggestions for super cropping but I'm not sure if I'm ready for for that high stress training yet. I'm also going with four plants instead of 5.... It was very, very crowded. I'm going to really enjoy the extra space for maintenance. Another thing I need to keep on is defoliating. A lot of growth missed out on getting some light, and ultimately because budder bud instead of smoking buds. Lastly I went 3/4 strength nutrients on my last grow, I'm going to up that to 100 percent (playing it safe is over, time to put on my big boy pants). Here's the equipment and grow plan:
This grow is going to be indoor, in my 3x3x6 tent. I've already starting them under a small spiral veg light that just plugs into a regular table lamp, but they'll go into the tent sometime next week.
Inside the tent is all the same equipment (except a new fan) from my last grow, my carbon filter has another 4 months of life left in it so we'll keep using that. I'm using a 315 watt Cmh, which has been working great and hasn't been running too hot. Very happy with that. As I said before, the only upgrade is my stationary fan that my wife reluctantly let me use from start to finish. I've upgraded her "vintage style" stationary fan to an oscillating monkey fan (still using the old fan on the gorilla glue sprouts haha)
As for the plants itself, I'm gonna keeo dirt as my medium. They started out in jiffy pucks, transferred to some potting soil and a medium sized container. They're just awaiting the last transplant to their full size felt pot, which will be filled with stone at the bottom oceans forest cut with a bit more perlite just so I can sleep at night
I will be topping after the fourth node on each one, and will definitely use my scrog better as per the advice @Greenlizard gave me last time. For nutrients, when I get to that point I'll be using 3-1-3, and calmag. I'm looking for some more veg nutes if anyone has any suggestions? For flower I'll continue to use 3-1-3 but I'm going to compliment it with 0-2-3 and overdrive if I can find some... Canada has really started to regulate growing nutrients lately and it makes it harder to find certain things. Might be taking a trip across the border if I cant find overdrive.
Lastly the lighting schedule. I'm running veg cycle 24 hours, worked well for me before so if it ain't broke don't fix it. Eventually when I turn them to flower they will get 12/12.
This will probably be my last indoor grow till the fall, I really don't want to start another crop in the swing of summer inside and deal with humidity issues. I'm considering doing a bunch of autoflowers outdoor this spring with one feminized seed to go with them but that's for another time and another journal.
Any questions or suggestions feel free to ask. I hoping for some more traffic on this grow, but hey what can you do.
P.s the one with a toothpick is the plant I let my wife name. It keeps her interested in how things are going, and realistically keeps her from shutting me down. She's 6 months pregnant and the house hiuse stunk pretty good during harvest so that's a top priority for me... Trying to keep her happy during the grow
And that's where I'm at! They'll get into the tent as soon as I can switch the last crop into mason jars and free up the space.
