Lvl99wc's First Grow with 4 Strains - Soil - LED - CFL - Indoor

[lvl99wc]

Hi everyone, this is my first blog and grow. This project started as a clone in the window and now a L 5' x W 7' x H 7' tent.

Plants are one month in vegging.
Green Love Potion auto flower (GLP): 80/20 Indica dominant
Sour Diesel (SD): 70/30 Sativa dominant
Space Jill (SJ): 70/30 Sativa dominant
White Rhino (WR): 90/10 Indica dominant
& bag Seed.

Four and five gallon buckets are filled with 50% Fox Farm Ocean Forest (FFOF), 45% perlite and 5% vermiculite. The area is lined with panda film, DIY420magcarbonfilterbucket, DIY420magenclosedinlinefan, a 16" oscillating fan, 180w (3w) LED UFO and 16 23watt mixed color temp cfl's.

The lights are on 18/6. Temp range is 78F and drops to 63F at night. Humidity range is 70% and 50%.

& the lights

1st attempt of cloning. The GLP cuttings took longer to root than the others... probably because the plant was flowering.
Rockwool cubes soaked in lemon juice over night, heat mat, humidity dome, and a four foot t8 light.

Here they are after being moved to soil.
75% happy frog & 25% hydro pellets in 1 gallon buckets.

Welcome to 420 the best site around by far of its type. You will find many warm and informative people on here willing to aid if they can. Subbed and on board for this one my friend, Good growing!

Welcome light addict.

420mag has inspired me.
I finished up building a DIY420magaerocloner and put some cuttings into it. Sour Diesel's have duct tape, space Jill's has electrical, and White Rhino's are unmarked.

+ reps for the cloner, the fan and scrubber my friend and all around great going so far! your looking like your gonna have a keeper of a journal going here so keep it up. Also your lights are sweet love the mix. Just wondered what style of growing your thinking of doing?
Best of growing to you.

subscribed. how far above your canopy are the Compact Florescent Lights positioned?

 

[lvl99wc]

Light, the plan is to cycle 15 plants seven in veg, seven in flower, and one mother. t8 mixed with cfl's for vegging and LED mixed with cfl's for flowering. I use fox farm for soil and nutrition. Fans and somewhat insulated for the temp.

Kjohnc, the cfl's are about 16" and the LED is about 20". The LED is too intense under one foot to the top and I didn't want the cfl's to block to led. since my room is panda film will the CFL's still do work that far away?

On the to do list is drilling holes in a 2' piece of 6" pvc pipe... reduce the sound of the air flow.

None of the aero clones made it, and they had some black stuff on the leaves after a week.
I didn't do anything about the PH.

Two to three more weeks in veg and plan to have it cure during December.

Sorry for your clone issues, you should apply to Broke ass Reg on his thread for a Dead clone society membership card lol. I'm a member also unfortunately! Hope all else is going great!

16" is too far away for a Compact Florescent Light to provide enough lumens, try 5"-6" away from the plants.

 

[lvl99wc]

It's about to be +1 for that group! Ok. My shop light gave out a couple days ago, so the cfl's will be moved there.

this thread is about to see the results of flowering six plants: GLP oldest clone, two sour diesel, white rhino, space jill, and one bag seed.

 

[lvl99wc]

13 days into flowering. The temperate has been dropping since the end of vegging. Clones are about three weeks since they rooted.


question: my photos are taken and uploaded to 420mag vertical yet end up horizontal on my post.

(Whatever, science must continue!)

Best view before the lights switched to 12/12. One giant 65 watt CFL 27k at the top

How the plants are positioned: The most right two are SD, middle are WH and SJ, cloest orange bucket GLP, and farthest left bad seed.

Sour Diesel (Sativa)

Possible Space Jill or white Rhino (Indica)

GLP ( 80-20 indica)

fimming and topping of the clones:

Look forward to higher quality photos in the near future.

The tent smells great

Looking really cool, happy days in your garden green!

some people who use their cell telephones to upload their photographs often have the same issue with their photographs being flipped sideways. the solution is to upload to your computer and rotate the photographs.

 

[Light Addict]

well said KJC its what I do all the time. well apart from when Ive had to much meds lol

 

[lvl99wc]

I use a cloud to upload the photos from my phone. and i uploaded them to 420mag rotated 90 degree's in both ways with no luck

 

[Light Addict]

Yep other people via cloud have had the same, I think. you have to go through uploading on comp then up to 420. hope this helps

Day 24 into flowering pics. pretty

 

[KingJohnC]

I notice some minor nutrient burn on your photographs.

 

[Light Addict]

Yep Im with King, apart from that though looking great.
