This will not be a perpetual grow journal. This new journal will document my attempt at starting and implementing a perpetual grow. @Emilya Green started a grow journal at the beginning of 2022 in order to record her attempt at implementing a perpetual grow and I may do the same with this journal. However, that may change if I decide it’s not necessary to go the whole year.
If you haven’t followed one of my journals before, you should know that I’m a huge believer in thinking that terpenes are the key to determining which strains work best on an individual basis. Personally, I find that strains high in the terpenes, Caryophyllene, Humulene, Myrcene, Pinene and Terpinolene work best for me so I try to find strains that have those terpenes, which can be difficult since most seed vendors don’t post that information. It is my intention to send bud out for testing once I’ve saved up enough money to do so.
I, actually, began the implementation of a perpetual grow in September. On September 18, I put 2 Jack Herer, 1 CB Dutch Treat and 1 Raspberry Cough into water. Only the Jack Herers survived. At least, I hope they’re both Jack Herers.
I’ve been sick since September 24 and the labelling of the seeds was a little iffy but I’m pretty sure they’re both Jack Herers.
On October 18, I started 6 Purple Satellite seeds. The Purple Satellite seeds were a gift from the Foothills MT Tahoma Seed Fairy.
They’re regular not feminized seeds so that’s why I put 6 seeds in water. By November 4, it was obvious that only 3 were going to be viable so on November 4, I planted 2 of the Fruit Punch auto seeds I won for GJOTM in July to make up the difference. The 3 Purple Satellite seeds that germinated will be culled to 1 or 2 once the sex shows, which should be soon as they’re in their 6th week.
The Purple Satellites aren’t very big yet so I’m not 100% sure I’ll switch them to 12/12 in 11 days. And, they’re currently in 1-gallon pots so also need to be uppotted. However, I don’t want to waste ProMix on a plant who may turn out male so I’m putting it off until the sex shows. But, if all of them turn out male then I guess it won’t matter.
I made the executive decision to not start any plants on November 18 since the plants currently in veg aren’t very big yet, which is partly because I’ve been sick so I haven’t done much more than basic feeding and even some of those were water-only feedings.
The Jack Herers, Purple Satellites and Fruit Punch were introduced in my HashGirl's Summer 2022 Grow Journal. But, I will be reporting their information in here now.
It is my intention to start 4 new seeds on the 18th of every month with the next 4 seeds going into water on December 18. I picked the 18th of each month as 18 is my second favourite number, 8 being my first.
Going forward, when I choose what to grow next, I will only be planting 1 seed for any strain I haven’t tried before. I don’t need huge yields from a strain that might not be effective for me.
OTHER INFO:
Indoor or outdoor?
- 12 plants indoors in 3 tents
If indoor...Dimensions (L x W x D) of grow space?
- one 4x4x6.5 Mars Hydro Tent
- two 4x4x6.5 Fusion Hut 600D
Medium?
- ProMix
Pots & Sizes?
- 5 gallon cloth pots
Size of light?
- Mars Hydro FC 3000 Full Spectrum 300W LED in all 3 tents
Are they aircooled?
- Yes.
Temp of Room/cab?
- It's approximately 70F in the tents but the seeds will be under an LED light until they're bigger.
RH of Room/cab?
- 51% currently
PH of media or res?
- N/A
Type and strength of ferts used?
- I will be using Mega Crop (a non-sponsored product) for this grow.
Without further ado, I will update you on the strains I’ve started as well as the strains I’ll be putting into water next.
The next few posts will have pics and info on each strain.
