I started a previous journal, now abandoned. Loss of internet at the time. I'm starting up my 2nd journal now. I had a few Black Domina seeds. I cloned them and ended up with 40+/- clones that I'm growing indoors under a single 600w HPS. I've got 5 Black Dominas vegging under a single 400w mh in hydro, which I just started experimenting with approx. 8 weeks ago. Additionally, I've got a Black Domina mother I've now transplanted outdoors, along with 2 other, fairly healthy, BDs and 12 BD clones, as well as a mix of 4 new seeds comprised of Hindu Kushes and Afghani Shivas.
New outdoor seeds were placed directly in the sun as soon as the petioles showed. Fuck hardening-off. Yeah, most died but if they can't hang...they're not worthy. I'd like to thank the vast contributions of the 420 community. Thanks, especially, to PitViper, DocBud, and SettingSun and multiple others. I started lurking about a year ago thinking I needed a workaround for the high price of quality meds I've since learned I'm fully capable of growing on my own. P.S. My canna-cookies are fucking retarded.
Interesting experiences in the short time I've been growing. My first girl was a white widow. Now I realized I chopped her way too early but I've always preferred the high to the stone so no biggie. She was started under a few cfls then finished under 2 150w hps lights.
I live in AZ, so, feel the title. My sog was started in an add-on room that has it's own ac unit. I turn it on about 4pm-9pm. It's hot/humid as any rain forest you could possibly imagine and I'm playing with the temps, etc. just like I do with all my methods, to see what yields results.
These girls are next to others I scrogged under 2 150w hps. We'll see what happens. The others in the same room are under 1 600w hps & 1 150w hps. I decided that indoor growing under 1600+/- watts of lighting (grow room included) may be a little more than I had anticipated would affect my electric bill. And I had initially anticipated bumping that doseage up by 3x, at least.
Meanwhile, experimenting with all methods, I had a couple outside. They had been kicking it out there since temps dropped to just freezing. Now highs hit 90. Give it a couple months and we'll see 115. If my Hindu Kush and Afghani Shivas make it then it's game on. In that time, although my ladies seem short, I've seen noteable growth. Like 8 year olds that need to shop for bras.
When reading seed and strain reviews I see plants with "tight internodes" and think: Damn, gimme. Tip: anything grown outdoors will blow up. I'm impressed with the speed of growth of my ho's in water. Hydro makes 'em push up, for sure. In fact, I will probalby always have 5 in the juice. How I will make them work, from that point forward, is yet to be seen. I've transplanted. Flipped from soil to hydro and back. It's all possible. The perfect combo is yet to be implemented.
Yet, it's no surprise. The sun is a wicked, multifaceted bitch. For real. Her disadvantage is only one. Harvest is at her beckoning. Short of that, growth is magical. Focused. Intense and dedicated.
My resources are currently limited but I plan to use the sun to get this party started. A hoop-house may soon be in the works to thwart the Plain-View laws of local LEO and Google Maps for that matter. Multiple indoor high power lights may be practical when/if I become an agent for the, now legal, medical community. Meanwhile I'm going to see just what she can do for me.
I've seen plenty of journals and know who's the shit and how they become it. I don't expect a large following and this is probably more for the benefit of myself, as I take shitty notes when I do my thing. Expect slow progress and updates. The ladies grow slowly. But maybe that's cuz I obsess over them every day and don't notice. Either way. I'll post pics as often as I deem necessary. Want more? Lemme know. Additionally, I'm far from pro and appreciate any and all tips to improve. Don't be a puss.
Lastly, I've adopted DocBud's principle of growing in soil using OC+. I believe he's ammended his ingredients to include multiple additives but I'm lazy and am using this time-release nutrient alone. As such my plants take more time to mature.
Regardless, growing, now nearly solely, outside, will be a new and hella-long experience. I don't expect to yeild nuggets til...Xmas? We'll see. If I weren't going to trim the kief for hash I'd be throwing it up and rolling in it upon my fatty queen mattress. Yeah. I expect to have a grip.
Anyway, for the 4 of you following along, let's get it started. Pics will include...uh, everything previously mentioned.
