Thus far I have constructed a somewhat meticulous list of materials and a hypothetical schedule based off countless hours of research. These are my results so far. Please offer any helpful criticisms, advice, etc...
Goals: High Yield, High THC, Low CBD, Harvest 24 Plants.
Growth Medium: 50% Coco Coir, 35% Perlite, 5% Bat Guano in 5 gallon buckets for vegetative/flowering stage. Solo Cups are used for seedling. Rehydrated Coco Coir bale will be place in Cal-Mag and iron supplement diluted solution for added benefit.
Nutrients:
House and Garden Coco A+B
House and Garden Root Excelulator
House and Garden Bud XL
House and Garden Drip Clean (Maybe)
Advanced Nutrients Carboload
Advanced Nutrients Big Bud
Advanced Nutrients Piranha
Advanced Nutrients Sensizym
(* Am I missing any target part of the plant to enhance? And HOW MANY L should I get of these nutrients to support my 24 plants for a 13 week harvest?
I used a combination of both lines due to extensive research in the chemical biology and physiology of marijuana and nutrient-isolated studies of these nutrients. The HG Base Nutrient has been revered and the Root Excelulator has been known as the best of all others. Bud XL works by moving Nutrients from leaves to the buds of the plant to induce bigger yields. In conjunction to this, I thought Advanced Nutrients' trustable product of Big Bud would nurture excellent yields by providing the buds with additional Nutrients via a different "path". Additionally I felt as though Sensiyme is superior to HG Multi Zyme. This has also been concluded by some independent studies in these forums and some rare ones in actual scientific communities. Apart from this, AN Piranha seemed to be a safer bet than similar competitor products. And alternative I've heard (apart from Great White) is Mammoth P, but it didn't have enough user trial for me to truly consider. I've read about common issues with HG shooting powders just causing stem growth rather than bud growth, so I chose not to go with it.)
Feeding Schedule: My research tells me to add nutes with every feed, but only to begin with 1/4 the dilution recommended and add incrementally to reach 1/2 then full size. I'm just worried I won't buy the correct amount of nutrients. For example would 500 ml of Big Bud last from seedling till harvest between 24 plants? Also, should I just throw out run off? People experienced with these particular products are especially invited to add their 2 cents.
Area: 4 (4X4X6.5) Grow Tents with Mylar interior or 1 large (10X10X7) tent?
Lighting: 4 MH 1000 Watt Light Bulbs (GrowBright)
4 HPS 1000 Watt Light Bulbs (SunMaster)
4 SolsiTek Euro Reflectors
2 Outlet Digital Timers
2 SolsiTek Dimmable Digital Ballasts
Heating: Seedling at 78F day/ 70F Night, Vegetative at 75 day/ 68 night, Flowering at 72 day/68 night.
Humidity: Seedling at 65%, Vegetative lowered by 5% each week until 55%, Flowering Lowered to 40-45%.
Circulation: Exhaust outtake system and 2 lows fans wth 2 high fans.
Light Schedule: Vegetative: MH Bulb on 18/6, Transitionary: 36 Hour night, Flowering: HPS Bulb on 12/12.
CO2: if I had a cheaper way to get a generator I would. Any other methods that actually increase the PPM of CO2? I would love to get to 1200-1500 PPM with raised temperatures respectively for bigger yields.
Plant Manipulation: I'm unsure how risky I should be. I plan on doing some LST to all of my crops, but unsure if I should attempt topping or supercropping for my first grow. During the vegetative stage I plan on letting the entire plant grow to its potential until some leaves start lacking light on the bottom - then snip. I'll leave most however. During flowering, however, I'll remove more, especially light-lacking leaves, but will let some remain for Bud XL to have something to extract from. Any tips for topping if I should try it? And should I be supporting my plants with stakes? And how do I use those zip ties I see some people use?
Strains: I may be more limited depending on what grow tent I decide upon with the help of you all. I wanted to grow easy-to-grow strains with natural high yield and potency. Any suggestions? I was thinking along the lines of Strawberry Kush, Chocolope, Brian Berry Cough, White Widow, etc...
Thanks for your time in reading! I'm sure I missed something to strike up first.
