Welcome to my first journal 
members. The purpose of this journal is to highlight and review the performance of the new Sun Series LED lights from Mars-Hydro only.
**DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. READ ON AT YOUR OWN RISK. NOT FOR VIEWERS AGED UNDER 18 YEARS. FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY. PERSONS OR PLACES DEPICTED IN THIS GROW JOURNAL ARE FICTITIOUS AND NOT REALLY REAL PERSONS OR PLACES. ANY SIMILARITIES TO REAL PERSONS OR PLACES ARE COINCIDENTAL ONLY BUT YOU SHOULD ALREADY KNOW THAT.
**AND......The writer of the journal shall not be held responsible for any damage to your crops or mental stability that may occur as a result of the reader attempting to try any of the growing techniques that are used in the making of this grow journal. I'm a newbie and not a master grower. Again, the purpose of this journal is to review the performance of the new Sun Series LED lights by Mars-Hydro, not showcase my still developing growing skills.
*Ganja Grove Size - 40 acres plus 10 acre irrigation pond. Nah...but one can dream right? Actual size of UncleCannabis' Ganja Grove is a 4'x8'x6' grow tent. I'm using only the back row of the tent (Ganja Grove) for this grow so the actual grow area being used is about 2.5'x8'.
*Artificial Sun: 4 each Mars-Hydro Sun Series LED's. 300watt actual draw each. Check out there website for full details of the light and current pricing. Total watts = 1,200watts or 300 watts per plant.
*Cost of Artificial Sun in the Ganja Grove: $1,800 USD or $450 each light. I purchased the lights when first offered so I guess there was some R&D cost passed along. The current price at time of this posting is $360.
*Grow Medium: Custom manufactured organic soil. Solarized then mixed with coco coir. Mix is approximately 75% soil/25% coco. Using wicker baskets lined with newspaper (about 7 gallons size).
*Nutrients: All organic. Most basic nutrient requirements that are needed to support the plant up to completion of flowering are contained within the organic soil mix. No bottled or manufactured fertilizers are used. Occasional topdressing with organic type nutrients (Worm castings, bat guano, bone meal, epsom salts, dolomite lime, etc) used at certain times during veg and flower and as needed to correct any deficiencies that may come up.
*Pest/Pest Control: No pest problems to date but I've been very diligent in trying to keep my grow space super clean and disinfected and I've been using neem oil weekly through veg as a preventative. No more neem now that the girls have begun flower and the buds will be stacking shortly.
*Grow Times: 70 days veg from seed at 18/6 using 200watts of CFL's. Changed photoperiod to 12/12 at day 71 using 1,200 actual watts of LED's (4 x Sun Series from Mars-Hydro) for flower. Journal started at the end of week 1 of flower or day 77.
*Ganja Grove Auxiliary Equipment: 2 x 12" oscillating fans, digital temp/RH meter, drip type watering system with pump and timer (only used when I need to be away for more than a day), inline fans and carbon filters are ordered but have not yet arrived, 15,000btu split type room air conditioner.
*Ganja Grove Environmental Conditions: Veg - 72 to 85 degrees F (nights cooler than days) with RH from 45 to 65%. Target for flowering - 70 to 82 degrees with nights cooler than days and RH at 45 to 60%.
*UncleCannabis' Ganja Girls: 1 x Amnesia (Sativa - World of Seeds), 1 x Jack Herer (Hybrid - Greenhouse Seed Co.), 1 x Girl Scout Cookies (Hybrid - BC Buds Depot), 1 x Soviet Ripper (Sativa dominant hybrid - Soul Breeders). All are free seeds that were included with an original order or much better genetics. I'm using the freebie seeds on this my first indoor grow and while getting the new Ganja Grove set up and dialed in. *I do know that the BC Buds GSC are not "the Real Cookies" and that the Jack Herer from Greenhouse Seed Co. are not "the Real Jack" so there is no need to tell me this. This journal is about the lights, not a strain review. Feel free to chime in if you've had an opportunity to grow out or smoke any of these strains but no seed company bashing please.
Any tips on how to better proceed with this journal are most welcome.
Please note that I may not have the time to reply to any/all questions but I'll do my best to log on and reply as I'm able. I'll also do my best to post updates at least weekly if not more often. Please be patient.....I'm old and I move slow....and I type even slower.
Here are a few pics of the girls chilling in UncleCannabis' Ganja Grove at day 8 of flower (day 78).
Happy growing to all. Peace, Love, & BBQ!!
