Welcome to my perpetual grow journal!
Let's start with some background to set the stage. For those that don't know me, I'm a Canadian growing legal medical marijuana. My wife and I both suffer from medical issues treatable by MMJ here in Canada, and I started legally growing this summer.
I've just finished my first grow! I went into my first grow head first, and after spending lots of quality time learning from and laughing with the fine folks around here, I thought it only made sense to continue the fun in a new journal now that I've gone perpetual.
My journal will focus on the strains that work best for my wife and I - typically heavy indica, hybrids with a strong indica side, and various CBD strains. But I enjoy cannabis recreationally too, and will grow to suit that as well. So expect a variety!
I run a 2 tent setup with perpetual flower and veg cycles respectively. Here's my basic tent setup at the outset.
Flower:
4x4 Mammoth grow tent
Viparspectra 900 LED (418 true watts)
4x Sunblaster T5HO 3ft (156 watts)
Veg:
3x3 Secret Jardin grow tent
Viparspectra 600 LED (276 true watts)
Both tents are outfitted with fans and sensors to try to keep control of the environment.
I've been growing in coco with perlite, with everything ending up in smart pots.
I've been feeding a GH Micro / Bloom formula based on the Lucas formula. My base is Potassium Silicate, CalMag, Micro, and Bloom. I'll be adding KoolBloom at points in flower. That should be it.
I'll aim for 1 large weekly update with lots of photos, and occasional smaller updates during the week. I'll aim to show detail on any techniques I try. My approach so far has generally been to try whatever I can to gain experience and insight into how this all works. I expect this journal will continue that approach.
Thanks for checking out my journal! I look forward to seeing where this takes me!
