so it begins
welcome, most welcome friends, nearly family now some of yas
i have decided to begin this journal for the most selfish of reasons,, so my apologies before i get too far,,
it is information that i seek,, and i know that you have some of it,, and i want it,,
hence the selfishness
you see,, my grow room is in dire need of an upgrade. my 'labooratoory' has remained nearly unchanged since it's inception,, way back in late 2015,,, way way back,,
some of y'all might not even have been born yet
cfl's were a hot ticket item back then,, and i grabbed em and ran,, big time,,
my siggy has a dead link to a cfl panel project i did way back when
but i still plan to incorporate the cfl panel into this upgrade,, perhaps
so, my current grow 'labooratoory' is located in an outbuilding , get this,, outside my house,,, ten feet by twenty the building is mostly my art studio,, with a small grow space located at the far back.
so this is Canada, that is the outbuilding,, and as many folks know,, that is what it's like out here in august,,, sheesh
this is a floor plan of my current 'labooratoory'
the boys, dutty and dutty too are here helpin out, as always,, dutty is the real worker,, dutty too is,, well, he is dutty too, what can i say,,
and this is my 'proposed' new 'labooratoory'
a near doubling of the flower room space,, but built specifically for the purpose of adding two more plants to my operation,, two 'larger' plants than i currently grow
my flower room, tho only five feet by five feet, required me brain to max out with space planning logical reasoning,,, why this way and not that way, when after all it made no real difference,, just moving things around
my grow situation is a bit different you see,, so different that i have yet to see the idea copied,, which i suppose should tell me something,, but stubborn is another of my many traits, along with selfish
i have my normal eight foot high flower room split into two near even levels and i grow several small plants on two levels rather than less plants on one level
i don't grow more pot probably but i get to play with quite a few plants at a time and i get to do twice the work i need to,,, yaaaay
i think i will still incorporate this two level system into my new space, but i will have space left over to grow two fuller size plants,, least that is my current thinking
most of my existing operation was 'as built', 'jurry rigged', 'mickey moused', 'thrown together' as every do it yerselfer is prone to do
i grow in soil,, five equal parts of potting soil, peat moss, vermiculite perlite and worm castings.
the worm castings are a recent addition to the mix as the castings were supposed to reduce the plants nutrient requirements to near zero
well poo poo and ixnay to that idea,, did not work,, nutrients still required, tho perhaps a bit less
dutty givin er
so to begin this journal, which is a record of events , over time
to begin this,, i have several decisions to be made, over time, in regards to space planning, lighting, heating, ventilation, electrical, seed selection, cooling, nutritional necessities, garbage disposal, wall colourings, noise suppression, flooring,, and perhaps lastly some art work for the walls
mostly lighting tho
so, over time, this journal will monitor the progress and construction of my new 'labooratoory', which will be an 'evolution' of ideas, a small evolution, tiss true, but there shall be melding, dern it
dutty climbing me and the missusses favorite strain,, a mama thai/thai stick plant we call 'mack'. this plant currently puts out about three ounces a plant, with ninety to one hundred days in flower
that is about the nicest 'mack' plant i have grown yet,, and somehow i managed to get it out of the scrog screen in one piece, a rarity indeed.
my two level flower room allows me to grow seven smallish plants concurrently,, and the room perpetually puts forth productive plants
i have three resident favorite strains,, the 'mack', a blueberry and an og kush
the mack is a near hundred day flowererer and the blue is just over seventy and the og is in the middle somewhere so the math there tells that my harvest dates are all over the map for days between harvests but average every couple of weeks throughout the year
so, i'' be bak when i figure out where this journal is going next,, an evolution,, remember??
cheers, friends,, karma sent
