Hello AFN
Well I’ve managed to stumble my through my first grow. A harried start but the finish was ok. The jury is still out on the quality of the smoke as it’s only been curing for a week. But overall, lots of room for improvement and new things to try.
This time I’m going to use 3gal airpots instead of the 5gal airpots I used last time. Maybe the smaller pots will help keep them from growing into the lights this time. I wanted to try 3 plants this time so I choose 3 strains from my seed stash that are supposed to be on the smaller side. This is the lineup:
Thunder Bloody Mary from SamSara seeds, henceforth known as TBM – supposed to be 35-60cm and finish in as little as 65 days.
Trans Siberian from Auto seeds, henceforth known as TS – supposed to be 30-80cm and finish in as little as 65-75 days. Lmao I’m going to try this one again. Perhaps the last one was a fluke. Either way the smaller pot should help to prevent the 120cm monster I got last time.
Auto AK47 from MSNL, henceforth known as AK – supposed to be 30-75cm and finish in as little as 70 days
3gal airpots
Soil
3 parts Happy Frog
2 parts Ocean Forest
2 parts chunky perlite
2 Tbs. garden lime
With a bit of Light Warrior in the center
The space same as before – two chambers
Lower (seedling/cloning) camber
23” x 35” x 15”
(2) 24 Watt T5HO Grow Lights (with vegetative bulbs)
Upper (grow) chamber
23” x 35” x 59”
480 Watt, Switchable, 11-Way, 5w Diode Duo-Drive LED Light
42 Watt LED side Lighting
CO2 Boost System (Did not use this last time and may not use it this time)
Nutes
GH CaliMagic
AN Voodoo Juice
AN pH perfect Grow
AN pH perfect Micro
AN pH perfect Bloom
AN Big Bud
AN B-52
AN Overdrive
AN Rhino Skin
AN Sensizym
AN Liquid Carboload
AN Bud Factor X
Other bits of kit
HM PH-200 pH meter w/ 4 & 7 buffers
CWP Accurate 8 soil pH meter
HM TDS meter
Rapid tests for N, P, & K
Digital Microscope
And various other as miscellaneous items too numerous to mention
The soil is in the pots but has not been watered in yet. The beans have gone into saturated rapid rooters for 12 hours, then will wring them out good and let them sit in the warm, dark, covered container until seedlings come up.
As always, welcome to one and all. Questions, comments, bits of humor, words of wisdom, etc. all welcomed here. Thanks for taking a peek
