First grower here. Even though I am already about 4 weeks into this, I will post my pics that I do have with dates as well as all the info I have. Feeding and lights from seed to finish. I am going to lay it all out.
A little background on the strain, the seed, and how I went about this strain. The strain is called Oakland OG. This strain was a strain I found at a dispensary in Michigan. I ended up getting an OZ of the strain and fell in love with it. It is a typical kush strain. I love kush. I tried to Google the strain and wanted to buy the seeds since we were about to go legal. I could not find these seeds any where. Not even clones. I just so happened to find 1 seed in the bottom of that OZ that I bought. I was super pumped. Then, me being me, I started the whole process and here is my journey and my journal.
The process I am doing is Deep Water Culture (DWC). I choose this process because I wanted to do something with low overhead and low turn around. I have watched my girlfriend for years and her house plants. All the trips to menards or Walmart picking up soil. I just did not want to do that. I thought about recycling my soil. I felt that was to much work for me to do. So I started watching YouTube videos and found "insidehydro". He was doing a video on not using any soil, no coco coir, just a cloning collar and a 5 gallon bucket. The light bulb went off! Eureka!! That's what I want to do! I have used everything he has used as far as food. I use General hydroponics food. I use the 12 different products they have. Which in his videos he did not use that many. I tend to go over board sometimes. Those products are as follows:
1: FloraMicro
2: FloraGrow
3: FloraBloom
4: CaliMAGic
5: Floralicious Plus
6: Liquid KoolBloom
7: RapidStart
8: Ripen
9: Armor SI
10: FloraKleen
11: Purpinator
12: Terpinator
I am also using a 17 hour light cycle. Keeping the temperature around 75F degrees. Humidity is staying around 41 percent. I am growing in a 4x4 tent. I am using 5 gallon buckets I picked up at Menards with lids. I primed them with 2 coats and painted them black with 2 coats. I then cut a 2 and 3/4 in hole in the top of the lid with a hole saw because I have 3 inch cloning collars. I have 2 2 inch air stones plus a 8 inch air puck that is ran by an air pump I picked up at walmart in their pet department. The have air rails their and you can use them. I choose not to for this.
