Hey Everybody!
Welcome to thethird fourth installment of Growing with Sauga. In case you missed the first three installments you can view my signature below for links. If not, I can sum it all up for you.
I dropped seeds, then they grew into gorgeous plants because I cared for them, and then they died when I cut their heads off. After their death, they were put in a fridge for a few weeks until I sucked out all their moisture which then allowed me to cure them for a few weeks in turkey bags.
Now I smoke them. It was a pretty violent ending for them but after you cut a chicken's head off it's small potatoes. I've never cut a chicken's head off but I would imagine if I did it would be small potatoes after that.
So, here we go.
The Volunteers
Chem()Dog #4 - Dr.Seeds
Cement Shoes - Dr. Seeds
Phantom OG - Barney's Farm
Royal Gorilla - RQS
The Environment
Tent - It's black on the outside and shiny on the inside.
Lighting - LED(Light Emitting Doohickeys) 2 x 1000W
Exhaust Fan - AC Infinity Cloudline T6
Fans - I have plenty but have asked them not to show up
Humidity - Controlled through a dehumidifier outside the tent, and a humidifier inside. Inkbird IHC 200 controller controls the humidifier. The T6 controls the temp and high RH. If the RH gets too high, the T6 turns on and sucks in lower RH from the room controlled from the dehumidier stat. If the temp gets too high and the T6 starts to bring in fresh drier air, then the humidifier kicks on inside the tent and raises the RH.
The Medium
I'm having great success with Miracle Grow's Nature's Care Organic Potting Mix. I add Miracle Grow Sea Compost and also Vermiculite from ProMix. The MG perlite is sprayed with some sort of crap and requires rinsing first. The best I can tell is the vermiculite has no additives or sprays.
70% MG Potting Mix
20% MG Sea Compost
10% Vermiculite - The vermiculite is needed since the Sea Compost is very dense and has no drainage fillers. Without the vermiculite the soil will become clumpy. The MG potting mix already has it's own stuff mixed in. Probably Perlite... bastards.
I went back to the analog timers this grow. Sometimes the program would change back to default so instead of any issues I'm going back to what works best for me. I'm also going to try and run a full plant cycle on these LED's. I have always started with them but switched to the HID part way through in previous grows. Partially because the last grow was in the winter and the heat provided by the HID was a blessing.
The Chemdog is also part of a comparison grow a bunch of us are getting involved in, so if you are interested in participating or just want to follow along the thread can be found here.
The seeds have been soaking for almost 24 hours now and should be ready for the jiffy pellets soon. I've never used them before and if it's like my first condom experience I'm in for a lot of trouble.
