Method: Soil SOG Perpetual
Medium: Hyponex soil (very low npk) and I add more perlite, about 70/30 or so.
Nutes: Lucas method with 7g/gal of MaxiBloom powder. Molasses @ 2TBS/ Gal
Lights: 3x 200w equivalent CFL bulbs shows about 500w @ 5" from bulbs with light meter
Container: 32 oz Foam Cups
24/0 for the mother in a Rubbermaid tub in the crawl space with a 100w cfl mounted in there. She is a study mother to be hanging on down there after I harvested it earlier this year and revegged it cause even though I harvested it waayyy too early (first time ever trying to grow, lesson learned) she bounced back and I've taken 30+ clones from her and she still produces.
I just built a bubble cloner, but this first round of clones I just cut 12 clones dipped in hormone powder and placed them in scotts hyponex soil in egg cartons in a humidity dome. Got 9 to root within a couple weeks so, not bad for first timer.
For my flowering chamber I have taken a standard cupboard and lined the inside with reflective material. I have 3 200w equivilent CFL bulbs mounted in there with ceramic light mounts. I enjoy using these big cfls for the reason of low heat, not much energy usage. And I don't plan on changing this setup because it seems to be producing as good or better than I expected, and that's good enough for me. I have a small desktop fan that I sealed around the edges of a hole i jigsawed in the top for exhaust. I have a 2" hole drilled in back for inlet. I also placed a desktop fan in the chamber facing down for even air distribution. Temp stays right at the 79 degree mark.
I had a goal of spending very little on this setup and have achieved that. I root my clones then transplant them into 32 oz foam cups with 3 holes cut in the bottom, then stack another cup underneath. this acts as a drain and also a res for some of the roots that grow from bottom of container to feed. I water often and rinse the bottom cup so it stays fresh with whatever nutes I feed it. my feeding schedule is maxibloom, when that dries up then molasses, just that alternating schedule. I really feel the molasses is making this fruit really sweet. we shall see.
My space has space for around 12 single cola clones to do their thing, so once I get on this schedule I want it will be like this. 4 rooted clones in, wait 2-3 weeks, add 4 more, wait 2-3 weeks, add 4 more then harvest first 4 then add 4 new. But at the moment I have 2 that went in on 8/21, then 5 that went in around 5 days later, then 4 more that went in 2 weeks after those. My goal is to get around 7g dry off each, so that's an ounce every 3 weeks, and that will provide my medicine.
So at day 47ish for the first 2 plants in, they are looking as if they will hit that 7g mark, and really aren't that root bound to be in such small containers. The fruit is smelling very sweet and just starting to get that stickiness when I do that no-no of molesting a bud. (don't worry I only squeeze a very low bud, lol). overall I cant complain about this setup for its stealth and simplicity. I have my issues but things work out. the plants stopped growing vertically right at the height of the cab, so I have to be careful to keep the colas off the lights. but a few burned fan leaves aren't stopping these buds from swelling up just fine. I know this is an imperfect setup I have, but I an nonetheless satisfied.
Pics to come here in a bit, have to charge the ole cell phone so I can take some and show y'all what I'm talking about!
Thanks and any constructive criticism is appreciated!
