I've been running the same journal for over 6 months now. Figure it is time to put that puppy to rest. It is very long and packed with tons of real world learning experiences, but the title doesn't match what's going on in my world in any way whatsoever. Fresh start. Been putting it off for awhile.
As a stay at home dad, I had to find a good hobby. I learned how to grow with reasonable success over the past year, harvesting 30+ small plants. I learned how to build grow lights that won't burn my complex to the ground, and I also did/do lots of research about genetics and heredity and different ways of breeding cannabis. Stabilization and all that stuff.
My first hybrid was a Punto Rojo x Unknown x Dark Devil auto. I am in the midst of pursuing the stabilization of a regular autoflower cultivar using this first cross of mine. I currently have two F2 autoflower phenotypes growing in my closet, a boy and a girl. So, the show is well on the road.
I am also in the midst of a genetic preservation project with a couple of Harlequin plants. The female was badly damaged as a seedling but is still healthy. The Male, is a freaking bull.
I am also growing 2 Sensi NL and 2 Sensi NL x Nirvana NL IBL as well as 2 Devil's Pitchfork F2 photoperiods in my flowering tent.
Basically I do this in my 680sq ft apartment. I utilize a 32"x 48"x60" tent, a 50"x22"x48" section of closet, and my kitchen window.
Veg light (to be upgraded soon) is a 51w DIY SMD array with mixed blurple and 6500k 3w epistar diodes.
The flowering tent runs on 2x qb288 V1s in 4000k at 240w max. I also have a DIY 2 chip 44w Vero18 fixture that I run when the ladies get further into flower.
I grow in coffee can size hempys with red lava rock from home depot. I feed 1/4 tsp/ga Mega-Crop to seedlings and early veg. After a few nodes I feed 1tsp/ga Mega-Crop, as the stretch finishes up I like to switch to 1/2 tsp/ga each Mega-Crop and Maxibloom. During the last 7-10 days of life I feed straight tapwater. All ph'd at 5.5-6.0 using white vinegar and Chinese test strips.
So, there we have it. This is what I am doing now. There is a lighting upgrade ahead as well as some tester seeds from a private breeder that should be very interesting. I try to post pics a few times a week and ramble a bit in between.
Peace.
