Well, friends and 420ers. My last journal got abandoned quite abruptly and I apologize. The very day after my last few posts, etc, all hell broke loose on a number of fronts. I was called in several directions, I made a few of them. Again, I apologize.
For the record, the WW/BB and Night Nurse (sensible's version) turned out very well I thought. I did find one single seed in the Night Nurse harvest, after noticing one banana when I was chopping things down. I'm not complaining. They were free seeds from sensible's premium selection that I got with an order of some other stuff through them.
NOW, onto the real point of making this. I have another grow in progress and it's going fairly well. Some inattention and carelessness on my part has caused a few minor issues but nothing major.
While I do not have a perpetual up and running yet, I do have three spaces with which to work finally. Since this grow will occur in only two of those spaces, I will address only the equipment I have in each.
Current environment (since germination) - Late Veg:
Lights 18/6
Avg. Daytime Temp: 81F Avg. Daytime RH: 40% - Avg. Nightime (lights off) temp: 70F - Avg. Nightime (lights off) RH: 55%
2x4x5 (roughly) grow tent- **A little narrow for my liking after the first two grows.
1x Meizhi 450W (running both switches) + 1x Mars Hydro 300W
3x 5 gallon smart parts - ** Kali China is in a pot that's only about 2/3 full, because, well, I ran out of coco. I have more, now, though!
1x 390CFM 6inch inline duct fan
1x 9inch floor fan, head changes positions
1x themo/hygro
3x 2.5inch tall plant stands
Current Feeding/Watering:
Using 6 part feeding schedule at this time, same as for the last grow. GH Flora Trio, Cali Mag, GH Armor Si, GH Diamond Nectar, and GH Liquid KoolBloom
Using 3/4 strength recommended by GH, except for Cali Mag. Cali Mag dose has been steady at 3ml gallon, which is 0.5 ml above the recommended I think.
I water daily, medium never dries all the way out. This was some advice I got early on that's served me well. Thanks, 420Mag. Also, I have ceased alternating regular PHed water with a dose of nutrients. I feed the plants each time I water, which means that, yes, I do improvise some dosages at times during the course of a week or two based on what I see from the plants. Especially since I'm growing two different strains, and, the Skunk #1s have some differences I can't really explain. Different pheno maybe... ? I'm no expert.
ANYWAY, these plants are in Late Veg. Not very long at all until the flip to 12/12. Kali China is smaller. Took longer to germinate... about 5 days versus about 2 days for the Skunk #1s. And just didn't bust out of the gate like the Skunks. It looks great, though.
All plants were topped. No LST (yet), only some tucking away and some very selective removal of leaves.
Just random thoughts about the strains
Kali China - I have one of these flowering in a bucket of soil right now. And the scent is incredible. I won't be doing a grow on the soil one, because it's just a seed I donated so my g/f could experiment... she did not want to deal with the daily watering, etc with coco and decided to mix up some soil. I think she went with FF Ocean Forest and ProMix HP...?? But, point being, I'm very excited about growing this flower. My friends and family who grow have been on me to pick something interesting from Ace and give it a try, so, Kali China was what I went with.
Skunk #1 - My very first grow included Super Skunk. And I really enjoyed the smoke. It was a seed my dad donated to get me going. Seemed no reason to waste time getting to know this Skunk, too.
If you have questions, please let me know. Photos will be following this post.
