I am new to this forum, like this journal thing and the good vibe all around it! So just wanna try it out, since im starting up a brand new grow anyways,seems perfect. Here i feel im in the right place to share the joy of raising life, cant explain my enthusiasm in a way so my georgeus girlfriend understand, but you feel me right?
Seems like you can get alot of great pointers here too, im all ears for ideas and input for this grow, so feel free to ad your thougts or ideas that could improve on the grow

So ive set up with a nice little veg room, (for now) got em growing in peat moss with a little vermiculite at the moment, the strain is the legendary Indica, Nothern Lights, my girls is hybrids that was back-crossed with its original Afghani ancester.This should add freshness, vigour and stability. Which will produce solid, higly resinous buds. The crossing should also affect in taste, with strong notes of lemon and juniper, mmmmh cant wait

They have been cloned from a thriving mother
2 postet pics of the new veg setup. about 4 days in dirt, been rooting for about 10 days before that, in rockwool cubes, in an cheap propagator..

Now time is comin for transplant soon, ive ordered some pearllite and zeolite. while i got peat moss and vermiculite home..
Havent figured out how i will mix the soil and different lites yet? Any ideas here would be great.

Hope to get some inspiration and high times
Cheers gang, looking forward to show some growth JuicySOIL

Re: Growone indica, juicysoil, nothernlights back-crossed with afghani ancester

Just read about a medium mix of 75% PEARLLITE and 25% VERMICULITE anyone of you guys who have grown in a medium like that before? Is it unnecessary with peatmoss?

 

[Rui-pt]

Re: Growone indica, juicysoil, nothernlights back-crossed with afghani ancester

i use a soil with 20% peatmoss , 10% vermiculite, 30% perlite and the rest is garden peat .

Rui
but dont you risk bringing in mites and different pest with the garden peat?
Have you heard about something called zeolite?

Re: Growone indica, juicysoil, nothernlights back-crossed with afghani ancester

They might actually but if you simply don't think much about it ,you won't get worried . And that's what've being doing so far
Zeolite ? To be humble i have never heard about it .You know , i live in a small town in Portugal and i have the luck to have one of the few smartshops that exist in this country near my house. The products are quite good, although i dont see much of a variety if we take the u.s as an example . So i've learned to work with what i have and the rest is knowledge that the people from here have.There are lots of agricultural fields and theres where the rest of it comes from

Re: Growone indica, juicysoil, nothernlights back-crossed with afghani ancester

The perlite/vermiculite mix is called hempy, search for threads on it.....DocBud has a lot of great info on his threads. It depends on how you want to grow, soil or hydro. You seem to be leaning toward a hydro type setup since your media has little nutrient holding capacity. You will need to be feeding almost every watering. What nutrients are you planning to use?

Re: Growone indica, juicysoil, nothernlights back-crossed with afghani ancester

Cool bro, but ive had some of my earlier grows infectet by those critters, and developed a little paranoia of them spidermites, yukk.. But I feel you though, and i like the part you write about using what you got

 

[JuicySoil]

Re: Growone indica, juicysoil, nothernlights back-crossed with afghani ancester

Thx OG

Ive just transplantet, the mix ended up like 50% peatmoss 20% perlite 20% Vermiculite and 10% zeolite.. The peatmoss has about 10% sand in it..

I see what you meen about the nutrient holding capacity, so its soil, ill be handwatering this grow. What do you think og this mix, ill be starting out with feeding every other watering.
As nutrients i got the cellmax soil series, grow,bloom,rootbooster,enzymes,flowerpower..
just transplantet..

Re: Growone indica, juicysoil, nothernlights back-crossed with afghani ancester

UPDATE

Ive just transplantet, i spend a couple of days too long finding the different things for the mix, so where a little late for tranplant..
The soil mix i figured to try out is, 50%peatmoss 20%perlite 20%vermiculite 10% zeolite and the peatmoss had about 10% sand mixed in it..
But here are some pics.. thx for lookin in

Re: Growone indica, juicysoil, nothernlights back-crossed with afghani ancester

Got a Cup of Cuties

Switched out the old propagater with a brand new DIY propagater ive just made up out of some spare parts from a previously hydro system i had going.. Basicly, just a couple of bubblers and a heater, the waterspray from the airstones (bubblers) makes it like, almost a aeroponic environment in the rootzone..
With the beauty of those babies, i felt ashamed too just stick em in the cheapass-cold-as-hell-propagator

And One of the Ladies

Allright, gone to flowering,the room is okay now, but needs alot of tweaking for all the different factors RH, steady temps and all. But its my first "large" (larger than my closet anyway growroom. So im meeting alot of new challenges, but it goes fairly, plants in flower lookin good, but my veg room is another matter though..
But here is some pics of the flowering room, - 2x400w. hps.

 

[budbro]

Wow, they look really nice and healthy. Doubt I can help, you seem to have it going on, but I'm pulling up a chair to watch you finish them out

 

[JuicySoil]

Thx bro, sure you can help, its always a good thing with a second apenion, so feel free to add your thoughts, through the grow

 

[JuicySoil]

Flowers start to show

Ive got my ventilation runnin proper now.. Had bought way too small exaust, GOing BIGnLOUD.

But hoping it will bring down the noise a great deal when there will be attached a carbonfilter.. Anybody know, is a silencer needed when you put a filter on? Noise isnt that big a problem in my case, but you can never be to carefull, right..

Cheers gang!

Yo guys n girls got the mites, killah inputs woul be great now, went 2 the local store and got the same same as usual, (bug killingsoap the kills the pests but not the eggs) What du i do, ive read and read, and then some. Now my next move will be to buy some rosemary oil, which ill dilute in water.. Anyone has a good thea/mixture they would or could recoment? I rather kill em than smoke em, heheh, theyre going down4sho.
But i dont want them as a regurly problem though, and know they will be, so if any one knows how too get rid of them with out terring everything down and going cloral on it, please pop it, any inputs tried out are welcome!!

Cant se the critters on the pic, but they ARE down there...

 

[JuicySoil]

If you look close, all leavetips points upward,not just the very tip of the leave but all tips of the leave? whats up with that, is it in fact just the plant stretching for the light in close up, or could it be a deficiency?

Critters in check, time to show the girls Day 17 of flowering
