Well im back been a little while but i figured i should update from my last grow 2 years ago!
i have been working for a wonderful little club in the denver area in their ware house. on aveage we have over 500 plants and 7 strains.
4 that are stable and 3 that rotate. the strains we always have are Bubba kush,
OG1 (known as True OG in CALI and yes this is THE REAL one) OG2 which is known now as tahoe cut) and PK (pure Kush) the rotations this last time were Blue Dream, Grape ROM and Cherry AK
beautiful ladys i will share pics and then jump right in to my home Grow which this thread will be about.
one of the 5 rooms kinda empty atm
OG1
Quarintine zone we had a bad spidermite/root aphid problem this winter... wish i got pics
BUBBA KUSH!
MMMMMM GRAPE ROM
blue Dream
OK now that we got that out of the way! now to start the real fun!
MY grow this time is just for fun and a little test again~
my Grow box is 2x2 and 4 ft tall it is vented by 2 120mm Computer fans keeping the box temp and a wonderful 87.5 during lights i have tested for a week to get my temps to be right.
lights: 10 total Cfls 8 @ 2700k and 2 @3500k
the 2700k lights put out 1600 lumens and the 3500k puts out 1750
this puts my total lumens @ 16,300
the reason i am going with Cfl again is two fold... one is the power consumption. and two is this is just for playing around. i get to be in a building surounded by plants and can get my fill there. and again i will show that YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PUT UP WITH TINY WISPY BUDS WITH CFLS!
GET THEM LIGHTS CLOSE! CFLs loose a majority of their penetration after 2 -3 inches! only trick is u get to move the lights EVERY DAY!
Soil: my soil medium is easy i get some of our wonderful soil up at our ranch(RICH AS HELL! has a great soil/air ratio,) i get it from the older ash pits (10 yrs old) it has had human milorganite, ash and other things decomposing for a long time. to make sure that there are no bugs or other harmful things i put it through a pasteurization. i have used it for years and have wonderful results from it. after pasteurization i mix a half and half with Vital Earth loose coco. amazingly everything is PHed @ 6.7
Fert!
so this is the main reason i am doing this grow.. the Ferts are Vital earths mix i have been told that i can expect a 10% increase from our other ferts and can be as much as a 28% increase. this is why i am testing it with cfl.
it we get a noticeable difference with "cfl no mercy" than we will switch our main Op over.
i will be useing VE grow and Bloom as well as their Bio pac, due to the soil mix we use i will not need their guano or teas. i will however use their glacial rock later in grow
NPK levels are: Grow 4-3-4 and Bloom is 2-5-0
i will also use Age old Kelp .30-.20-.30 as a foilar
calmag as needed
i really hope that i get to replace the crappy Roots organic 16 part mix we use... ( BTW ROOTS O GIVES U FLYS GUARANTIED, they are giving out free neem for those that are having problems with it!)
OK now for the good stuff..
the ladys are Purple Haze and what we named Krunkle G4 it is Skunk#1 x Purp Urk its a 4th gen great smoke!
they are in 3.5 gal they began their first day of 12/12 on 5/8/2011
now just to make sure every one understands... this is a 12/12 NO MERCY grow the plants will never see more than 12 hrs of light makeing this a complete grow in 2 1/2 months i should start seeing hairs in 3 weeks (typically how long the plant takes to reach maturity)
this will get it done fast so i can get the results and get things changed at work as well as it will be dun before i get MARRIED in September and go to Hawaii
well i think i have al the details so lets get some pics
well as soon as i can get my camera to connect
tell than any questions feal free to ask
i hope to see some old faces stop by
till than i think its time for some ATF to get the day started!

I just started a 12/12 from seed grow with CFLs as well, 3 days ago. Looking forward to seeing this.
