*What strain is it? - I'm going to be growing 2 unknown Hybrids, Black Bubba Kush, Euphoria, Chem Dawg, and Sweet Kush, all from MMJ dispensaries in Denver and Boulder.
*Is it Indica, Sativa or Hybrid? What percentages? - I have Indicas, Sativas, and Hybrids
*Is it in Veg or Flower stage? - My unknown Hybrid #1 (oldest) is in it's very first week of flower as of now, unknown hybrid #2 (2nd oldest) is on it's 5th week of veg, BBK just sprouted
, Euphoria just sprouted, Chem Dawg and Sweet Kush a week into germination.
*If in Veg... For how long? - UKH#1 was in veg for 8 weeks, UKH#2 is in 5th week
*If in Flower stage... For how long? - UKH#1 in first week
*Indoor or outdoor? - Outdoor
*Soil or Hydro?
- Sunshine Mix #4 Organic Soil, and for a few plants, it's mixed with a little of this very red, clay-filled sandy soil I can pretty much get in my backyard (everything grows in this stuff like mad. we have 9-10 foot tall sunflowers that just come back year after year, as well as beautiful peaches and grapes we never have to supplement feed) at about a 1:3 ratio in favor of the Sunshine Mix.
*If soil... what is in your mix? - Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss, Coarse Perlite, Starter Nutrient charge (with gypsum), and Dolomitic Limestone, also the soil I mentioned above for some of my girls. I'm experimenting with the local soil this grow.
*If soil... What size pot?
- UKH#1 and #2 are in 5 gallon, may increase.
*Size of light? - fricken HUGE,
*Is it aircooled? N/A
*Temp of Room/cab? - Temperatures ranging from 80's (Fahrenheit) to mid 100's in the daytime, very humid.
*RH of Room/cab? N/A
*PH of media or res? - ~6.5
*Any Pests ?
- Several, saw mite signs (webbing and specks on leaves) early on, Eradicated quickly with Eco-smart organic spray (Neem Oil-based, but I added habanero sauce to the spray) after 2 applications, no more mite signs. Then, the Leafminers attacked. Picked off infected leaves, treated with Eco-smart, then treated with Monterey Garden Insect Spray with Spinosad. No more leafminer signs. Now, currently dealing with whiteflies, using MGIS, and a Neem Oil-Pyrethrum spray. So far, looks eradicated (but only been 2 days since treatment)
*How often are you watering?
- every 2-3 days or as the weather decrees. I use the first knuckle rule with my plants, worked so far. The weather has been erratic, going from the hottest and driest days to cool, shady days, and the occasional absolute downpour.
*Type and strength of ferts used?
- Tiger Bloom and Jacks Classic Blossom Booster for flowering, starting off with 2 tsp/gal for both of them. 1 tsp Cal-Mag, and watered with collected rainwater catches. I add a tiny pinch of ammonium nitrate based fert for veg sometimes, but my girls really don't seem to need it...when I go without, they still veg out beautifully enough for me.
Anyways, this is my first documented grow, and I won't presume to call myself a pro, but I've came out with some nice buds after a couple indoor and outdoor grow attempts with several strains (jack herer, sour diesel, pineapple kush to name a few, and I will likely post some old pics soon of those grows if I can find them). I hope people can learn from this, and help me out with their advice/experience along the way. I have never grown in hydro, and don't plan on it... Soil has always tasted better to me, and I've been a MMJ patient in CO since I was 18, smoking almost every day. Hydro always seems... metallic tasting to me. So, I'm looking to grow a quality organic soil product outdoors for long term personal use/sharing with friends and family.
