Hey Guys,
MadHatterJack here and I have finally decided to share my mad scientist grow in time for halloween and create a grow journal.
Info
Strainurban Kush non-feminized (Apricot Kush x Durban Poison) from Ancestral Seeds
Indica Dominant, unknown percentage.
3 Weeks in Veg
Two in soil, two in promix
Mixed with Mycorrhizae
3 Gallon Fabric Pots
450W Meizhi LED (185W actual)
18/6 Light Cycle
21C when lights off, 26-27 when on
55-60% RH, using humidifier
PH at 6.5 for soil and 5.5-6.2 for soilless
Water every 3 days
First feeding at 630 PPM of maxigrow
I loves electronics and have made that my career. Looking at how low electricity LEDs used I figured it was really safe and cost effective. I also have experience as a landscaper and have always liked growing plants. This however will be my first successful grow. I tried when I was much younger and failed as I did zero research.
With the idea that growing up to four plants in Spring of 2018 will be legal it made me really excited. So I jumped the gun and got a grow tent and a cheap LED.

I then decided to draw up a plan but first I had to get high.
I decided I would wait to get a carbon filter/fan and go get some good genetics. I went down to a local seed bank and bought 11 seeds for $60 of Durban Kush. I'm a huge fan of the strain GSC, so this is very close.
I germinated 6 seeds right in peat pellets and in 4-5 days they sprouted giving me 4 in total. Five actually germinated but the last one didn't make it so I threw it out.
Here you can see that I have one in the middle in light as the others sit in the left corner in darkness.
First one
Then two
Then four sprouted
I waited until I saw roots then moved them into these small containers for the time being.
I needed to do something about the humidity so I added a bucket with towels.
Added a vent for an intake.
I picked up a humidifier to replace the bucket of water.
I then picked up some cool LED grow glasses as the lights were getting to me.
Later I decided to pick up the rest of my equipment.
The ducting goes right up to a window fan I have had in there for years so shouldn't cause suspect.
I then transplanted into 3 gallon fabric pots. I didn't have enough starter mix so I made the mistake of getting promix with 9 months fertilizer. So that's going to be interesting in flower for two of the plants.
They grew- 2.5 weeks
I then ran into some issues and had to spray them with neem oil with some help from some members on the forum.
I added a HD USB camera to my tent and then FIM'ed and did some LST with pipe cleaners and that's where we are at today.
