Good afternoon all. I'm starting this journal to cover the progress of my Granddaddy Purps(reg) from Canuck Seeds, and my Triple Cheese(fem) from Barney's Farm.
If you've looked at my other journal, Mike's Crown Royale CKS Grow - Round 2 , then you will be familiar with my garden. But if not, I'll go over it here.
So my veg space is 18 x 48 x 48. I keep mothers and seedlings in there,and a miniature ebb and flow tray that I built to keep the clones ready for pre-flower.
The cheese is feminized, and came up very strong. I just Fim'd it, and I'm anxiously awaiting new growth.
I started three of the Purps, and all three popped.
These little white pots are slightly smaller than a red solo cup, and since they are regular seeds,I will probably try to leave them in these until I can determine the sex and be sure there are no dudes. I will be paying very close attention for pre-flowers between days 15 and 30. I'm sure we can identify them together.
One of my intentions with the second journal, is to try to be more specific on my procedures. i.e. fim, lollipopping, topping etc.
My flower room is 47x48x76. 600w Hortilux enhanced HPS with 2 48"T5HO SunBlasters(6400k) at the edges for good coverage and a bit of blue. 16x6 inch MountainAir carbon filter. I will be using mostly Botanicare Pure Blend Pro line of nutrients plus terpinator and a few other supplements in a 12 Gal reservoir feeding two separate 2 x 4 tables. I flush with GH Florakleen. I also pre-flower in here for 7 to 10 days to fill out my screens before blooming.
My mothers are in 2parts Pro Mix, 2parts CannaCoco and 1 part perlite. All the rest is RapidRooters in hydroton with perlite 10:1 in 6" square pots, FIM'd out and SCROG'd. Most will likely say these are to small, but with 12 plants, 6 on each table, I think I'll have more individual control. Initial goal is 600g, or roughly 1g/watt.
While I do have some experience in the garden, the hydroponics thing is quite new to me, and so is the speed at which things tend to happen.
I welcome, and look forward to any and all advice/experience anyone may have to offer. These two strains are sure not to disappoint. There's a lot to learn, and no time to lose. Hope you can sub in. Bowl up!!
Peace
