Hey guys! For those of you who helped out in my thread b4 I am back with the promised grow journal! This will be number 1 of 2 in the next few months. This Journal will Cover my current grow and some pics of my First Plant Ever! ( super gimped )
To Start I will just give you an idea of what I have going on.
4x4 Gorilla Grow Tent ( 1000w )
A makeshift bar area in process of being turned into a veg area ( 4 bulb t5 fixture )
1 clone/seed dome W/ t5 light fixture
Nute Line right now is Flora series from General Hydro
For information sake PPM/pH meter both from BlueLabs
Patient of CA prop215
Weather consistent with Beach cities of Southern California
beginning
Plants:
5 " Wonder " seeds from Bonzaseedbank \ Planted in about 60/40 coco mix /
-These are suppose to be super auto flower feminized small yeilding super plants. I got it to grow outside for fun but things are working out they are just being run to get my feet wet with the indoor setting.
1 " Vision Bubble " Free seed \ Planted in about 60/40 coco mix /
1 " Afghani " Found 5 seeds in my weed 1 popped \ Planted in Fox Farm Ocean Forest /
- About 1 week older then all other plants and currently the Largest in all photos
ALL SEEDS WHERE PUT IN CLONE DOME AND POPPED WITH 100% SUCCESS RATE
- I expect that 1 of the 5 "wonder" may be male only because it shot way further up then the others although that could have been me planting that seed a bit more shallow then the others.
So far Everything I previously mentioned is set up to an extent. This next portion will be to describe where I am at and what my direction is for each area.
4x4 Tent
- 1oooW bulb hopefully I will be running at 1oooW but may need to scale down to 750.
- Tube Hood * Full sized *
- 6" fan for inline air
- 6" fan for the bulb itself
- 4" fan for exhaust with carbon filter ( Someone please let me know if I need to switch inline and exhaust for correct venting Ive re read so many times I have confused myself )
The plan as of right now is to exhaust either out the fire place right next to my tent or the air vent right above my tent thinking it may warm the place up a tiny bit orrrr the air will just kinda cool off in the vents. We do not use AC/Heat here due to electricity costing so much so this idea just came about sitting infront of my tent debating plans.
As far as construction goes the tent is standing and has the hood / carbon filter in but I havent got around to finishing off venting and testing out temps. I will include some pics of the hood and all the items I bought here but will post more recent soon.
***** Average room temp is about 70-80 degrees MAX I live near the beach and right above a garage so my apartment stays generally cool ******
Veg area
------Basically its a little corner bar in the Den Im turning into a little veg area.
Right now it has a T5 4 Bulb fixture hanging from this makeshift structure I made because the ceiling is dry wall and just didnt feel safe.Eventually Ill move it down a bit create a whole shelf and make the top half a space for clone domes and turn the under sink into a bonsai mother station.
** Work to be done **
---I actually think I could do a 6 bulb fixture here and be fine so that may happen but thats at bottom of list
---I plan on lining the walls with mylar and installing a few small wall fans to create that nice lift for the plants.
( right now I just have a floor fan blowing on them on from a few feet away )
---Possibly mount a light or 2 on the wall for side light. Not sure it is worth it or not but we will see
--- After that debating making it a closed off area for light tight but I plan on running my veg area at 24hour light so not neccesary quite yet
Clone/Seed Dome Goodness
Planted all seeds the same day and honestly kind of botched the operation its my first time doing ALL of this kind of stuff but no worries experience is gold! 3 days later 3/6 had popped when I woke up in the morning and a 4th had come up when I got back from running errands in the afternoon. Over the next 2 days the last 3 popped but one came up upside down. For this one I split the cube and just flipped it over and it seems to be doing quite well. Overall time in the dome was 1 week I believe. Temps stayed around 78-85 while humidity was usually anywhere from 80-100. I also got some free " co2 pads " for the dome so I through one in there as well. I dont have exact days for anyone of these plants because I was a little behind as far as planning goes and didnt really keep a record just went into it. About 2 days go now I moved them from the dome as they hardened off and put them into their new pots you saw them in at the top. What they are in now is a coco/soil mix.
The promised extra goodies! This is my extremely dwarfed FIRST PLANT EVER. Story behind it goes like this. 420 I got it for free was in bad shape and living in a med bottle under a shitty light. I was ignorant to all things plant at this point and had done no reading yet at all. I took it home put it directly into miracle grow and outside BIG MISTAKE. 2 days later I moved it to Fox Farm Ocean Forest and a bigger pot where it stayed outside for the rest of its life. Over 3 months of rootlock and the plant still doing its best I had myself a little plant.
These are the pics:
--- I have more pics of this plant as it grew somewhere and will find them and update this when I do!
And thats it everyone! Here we go! Cant wait to see where this goes and all the great advice everyone may offer! Grab a seat, a bunch of your favorite flower and kick back with me for the ride! New updated pics coming very soon! Current pics are about 3-4 days behind just so I have some current stuff for you guys more often!
