So I've been growing on a small personal scale for 10 years. 6 months ago I moved country and was hit by a multitude of climate issues I'd never experienced. I got around 300g from a 4 x 4 area with 500w of light in but I had real issue with 1 plant and I over defoliated during flower to compensate for humidity and stunted my plants. I also had never used wilma system which opened up some major grow design flaws due to being unable to fully access and drain the underneath res. I hope some others can learn from my mistakes as was my first grow journal and probably one of the least impressive grows I've done. Anyway as always with new setups was an experiment to see what worked and what didnt. This time Im hoping for some better results from a similar slightly modified setup and some different plant training techniques.
What strain is it? Currently got 1x Chemdog bag seed, just popped 1x Money Maker, ordered Gorilla Bomb seeds and have a lemon amnesia that i may potentially reverse using silver thiosulphate to make pollen
Is it in Veg or Flower stage? Veg, seedling and not even arrived
Indoor Coco
Size of light? 400w hps, perfect sun mini, may add another 400w or LED during this round i think
Is it aircooled? yes
Temp of Room/cab? ROASTING... I live in lanzarote, I struggled to get temps below 26c last time and that was winter!
RH of Room/cab? High! 50-90% rh all year... currently sitting around 50-60 mark
PH of media or res? Its coco and should be 5.8-6.2
Any Pests ? New neighbours in two adjoining houses... lets hope they are cool
How often are you watering? When they need... drippers 1-5x daily
Type and strength of ferts used? So far Hesi TNT, Super Vit, House and Garden Roots Excellurator but I may try add some great white mycorizzea and maybe not use hesi coco this round and opt for AN, Buddhas Tree Range or Ionic Bloom. Im gonna see what my tight budget allows at time but trying to follow cultivators feeding recipe and modify it depending on what I can get here and what I can get delivered without paying twice as much in shipping.
Ok so lets get started.
I popped a seed I found in chemdog from The Klinic Association in Lanzarote. Could be hermie created or could be a male pollinated I have no idea but was nice bud and I wanted to practise some training. Its in cheap soil mixed with coco as i was just experimenting and didnt plan on moving it inside
So Chemdog started life outside on the patio, once it had 5 nodes I topped it at the second node, removed the first node stems, so I had a Y shaped plant. I then used twist tyes to bend these stems down and grow the flat. I also used a variation of supercropping on each stem coming off the main trunk.. I basically take the stems and rub them between my finger till it starts to soften in middle and then I twist the plant till I feel the break and then just support it... My theory is that the knuckle that forms after allows nutrients to flow to the bud better and so this one plant will have a super nutrient highway going to every branch and bud. What doesnt kill it makes it stronger, right?!
These photos were about a week ago, just after I bought her inside. I'll get some more recent photos up soon.
