I started some other threads but after careful analysis I figure I should start a journal and then I can take everything to this post. So the beginning of this will be a repeat of my other posts but I'll try to add more detail.
Basic Info First:
Strain: Blueberry Indica 100%
How Many Plants? Started with 6 now have 5 1/5
Is it in Vegetative or Flowering Stage? Flowering Stage 10 days 4/5/14
If in Vegetative Stage... How Long? 4 weeks
If in Flowering Stage... How Long? 10 Days plan on 4-5 weeks for bloom.
Indoor or Outdoor? Indoor Ebb and Flow Hydro
Soil or Hydro? Hydro
If Hydro, Reservoir size? 20 Gal
If Hydro, Reservoir Temperature? 67 F
If Hydro, what type of Medium? Hydroton Clay Pellets
If Hydro, what type of Setup? Ebb and Flow
Size (Wattage) of Light? How Many? 1000 Watt HPS adjustable 2 48" Fluorescent Cool White
Is it Air Cooled? Yes
Temperature of Room/Cabinet? Day 79 F Night 67 - 70 F Have AC System for Air Intake
RH of Room/Cabinet? 45 -50
PH of Medium or Reservoir? 5.7
Any Pests? No
How Often are you Watering? Twice a day at 8 hours into each cycle for 30 min
Type and Strength of Fertilizers used? GH 3 Part with some additives using the GH chart as a first guide.
Size or Square Footage of Room? 4x4x72" Tent
My grow is not very stealthy but I am only growing 6 plants and I am a MM patient so its legal here.
I have a small apartment and I have eliminated the dining portion of my kitchen/dining room for the grow. I have been able to cram a surprising amount of equipment in a small area.
Here's the outside:
Behind the cardboard is a 5000 BTU window AC unit. The cardboard helps direct the cold air into the tents inlets.
I make a custom exhaust collector out a tennis ball box. I lined the inside of the box with aluminum tape to make it last longer. In my old apartment the stove vent is just a hole in the ceiling so I hooked the exhaust up to that. Since the installation I can run my light at 1000W and keep the temp under 80F. Here what the A/C looks like:
I bought these clones from a local Strain Bank. I am very happy with the quality of the clones and they were all successful. I started the grow on 2/26/14
This was about two weeks ago when they were still in veg. They are at about the 3 weeks old in the following pictures:
You can see my Ebb and Flow controller reservoir and the plants are about 18" tall at this point but not very bushy. In my next grow I am going to move the controller out of the tent to get more grow room, same with the ballast and the exhaust fan control. Need to get all the power lines organized.
My light and CF filter:
Close up of the tops that I had FIM'd which is my best guess as to why some of the leaves are deformed.
I have also done a minimal super crop. I bent them over about 45 degrees. It does look to have many more exposed bud sites this way.
On 3/26/14 the plants were 24" and I went to bloom 12/12: For nutrients I followed the GH chart on their website for the transitional phase week 4. Here is a link to the chart:
Feedcharts
After ten days of this feeding schedule they now look like this:
Today (4/7/14) I moved to the early bloom phase of the schedule and plan to do that for two weeks:
I am adding a Hydro Farms CO2 system in tomorrow and I just completed a mother and a pre veg station homemade style:
Home depot plastic storage rack 36"x26"x72". I took out one shelf to make a tall section, and started to attach cardboard around it to enclose the area. I found out you can't just screw the cardboard on, it rips out. So I came up with plastic washers made out of a milk bottle, worked perfectly. Here it is in the first stage:
I sealed it up with aluminum tape:
Here it is done with the door flaps open and the new mother already residing. She's little now. I am growing in Coco using the GH 3 part for nutrients.
Here is a close up of the new mother:
Hope you will follow my journal. I will make regular updates, probably in another week the plants and the mother will have developed farther. Any advice you can give would be appreciated. I have some experience, but I've read the shit out the internet!
