MedCzech’s ManCave Fall Grow


Day 12 All quiet and cruising…

Standard procedure- watered with RO water, a touch of Hydrogen Peroxide for some extra oxygen in the water. Useful for seedlings

No CalMagplus until week three with nutes. Temps and RH steady at 80F and 70%
Airflow is good, lights all set around 200ppfd at soil level.

Excellent symmetry in the different strains. Pretty standard size for day 12 as well.

In case you haven’t been introduced to the ManCave grow room…

Two AC infinity fans for intake of fresh air and also helps stabilize temps.

These are the exhaust fans. Two AC Infinity fans for exhaust of RH, and a 4” exhaust fan from Mars Hydro to exhaust for high temps.

Simple timer set for lights, also you can see the Inkbird RH controller…

There are circulation fans all over, a humidifier, the dehumidifier runs outside this room next to intake fans to help control RH later in flower. The fall grow is easy…RH almost stats right where I want without much help needed from the system.

I thought for some of you new people, who maybe hadn’t seen how the room was set, would like that info. This room is set to grow some quality herb! It’s all up to me now.

14 strains is going to be my biggest challenge yet. Keeping a stable canopy won’t be easy!

Thanks for stopping by !

Day 14

Standard procedure. Watered lightly around the outside of pots, RO water, with Hydrogen peroxide and CalMag plus. Did not ph water. It’s always so close anyway when I check it…somewhere between 6.4 and 6.8, plus in organic grows, the soil buffers most of that.

Looking really healthy

That’s the Strawberry banana from FastBuds

Can’t wait to see her buds. Supposed to have some color and frost

Already some nice secondary growth on the Mango Smile.
Some very nice daytime smoke. I vaped up almost every little bud of the first plant I grew. I call it “get shit done weed”

Lots to look forward to. The room is dialed in, and the soil should be good to go. As long as I water them properly, and get the nutrient schedule right, I should have some gorgeous plants in three months with lots of colorful nugs and frosted goodness

Thanks for stopping by

Peace love and happiness to ALL

Day 18 “Just a little off the top ”

Yesterday afternoon I topped 10 of the 16 plants. I still might too a few more, but they seem to be, or I know they will be smaller anyway. I am looking for plants that will stay around 30” or less. I don’t need monster plants in the ManCave. We grow Artisanal plants with a focus on quality over quantity.

You can start to see the differences in the strains coming out now.

Yes, added some catnip for Otis and McTavish. They will like having a fresh supply all winter long

Very healthy looking. I will add some more Mychorrizea into the top layer of soil tomorrow before adding in the first feeding of nutrients to the soil in a few days on day 21.

The Strawberry Banana from FastBuds got topped.

So did the Dos si Dos. Both look like they aren’t stressed from the process. I just do it by hand and pop off the top node with my finger.

Here’s the Grease Gun out in the greenhouse . Love her buds. Smell of fruit and gas.

Hope she can get to the finish without having issues with rot. Going to be a challenge in the greenhouse, even with my environmental controls. I can only control so much.

Thanks for stopping by folks. Lots of good stuff happening. This room should really shape up here pretty soon.

Peace love and happiness

Morning y’all

MedCzech’s ManCave Fall Grow


Day 19

Standard procedure watered from top with RO water with CalMag plus and hydrogen peroxide, about a pint or so each plant sprinkled on top to moisten soil. After all, I am feeding healthy soil, not really the plant. I need to get the soil alive and thriving.

The individual strains are slowly starting to show their differences. All healthy looking though.
The Strawberry Banana, Mephisto’s Wedding, and CaliBubba are all really good looking plants, a little ahead of the game.

This is the SB Banana after being topped two days ago. Secondary growth is on point for her age. Not even three weeks old yet. Next couple weeks will be a ton of growth!

You can see the diversity and yet see they are all happy as well. Lights still steady at 200ppfd to soil. I won’t raise them up until day 25-28 or so when the pistils start popping.

Day 23 “It’s not how you start, but how you finish that counts.”
That statement couldn’t be any more false as in growing Autoflower cannabis. The start is everything IMO.

After 23 days, I think they look good for low cost organic soil solution. I know they can be much higher if I pump them with chemicals, but I stopped doing that like 15 years ago. Organic growing is the best for my tastes.

Watered from top down with RO water, about .4 liters of one pint each. Tomorrow they get the same from the bottom. I stick with Themis schedule until they all are in pre-flower, then I will up that too .6 liters, then slowly raise it up to 1 liter alternating each day from top and bottom.

I will let you know who is who here. The room looks happy.

The strains are as follows.

From the left, front to back…

SB & Funk
Strawbba the Hutt
Mango Smile x 3BOG
Bruce Banner

SB & Funk
Mango Smile
Mephisto’s wedding

SB Banana
SB Cheesecake
CaliBubba

Same here…

Orange Sherbet
CaliBubba
Sour Stomper x Double Grape

Walter White x 4 ass monkey
Critical 2.0
Dos si dos

There are a couple strains that I have been looking forward to for some time that are real classics.

Bruce Banner and Dos si dos are super strains that everyone should grow at least once. I have never grown them myself, but always love the flavors you get from them when you get them right. Hopefully I get it right

Here you can see the Mephisto’s wedding is just entering her pre-flower stage. She will shoot up like a rocket in the next week. The others aren’t far behind.

Here the Mango Smile x 3BOG is staying super squat, OG lineage is strong with her. Going to be fat wide nugs too.

Yet here is the Mango Smile. Much more open and Sativa looking leaves.

Lots of happy plants and growth seems pretty solid.

Thanks for stopping by

Day 27

Week 4 I switch to .6 liters per plant each day versus .4

RO water with nothing in it today, I see no Calcium or Magnesium deficiencies and I want to start holding back on the amount of nitrogen I give them. I will move to alternating schedule and only use it every other day. Still another 10 days or so for another dry amendments feeding.

Sorry, have to use the fishbowl lense just to fit them in…

Some leaf tucking , but going to keep training to a minimum.

Lots to like about this picture. The SB Banana, Mephisto’s Wedding, and SB Cheesecake are all looking to be good size plants.

I will keep you all posted. The Greenhouse is also getting interesting. I had to tie up the giant photoperiod, she was flopping over already

All good though. Life is great

Peace love and happiness to ALL

Day 29 BOOM

Gotta love this time in their development. The pre-flower stretch
Watered all girls between .4 & .6 liters each from the top. CalMag plus added, nothing else into the RO water. Not ph’d.

So many different types of green here, all looking super healthy.

I turned up the lights to where we are now around 420 ppfd. at the leaf level. That should be it for the lights, as they will grow into the space of 500-600 ppfd. I will add the UV light schedule starting week one of flower. Probably in about 10 days or so from day 40 to the finish.

Zones 1 & 2 are the smaller ones. I even lifted the Mango Smile x 3BOG in the back there. All very healthy though.

Zones 3 & 4 cranking right now. Different leaf types is visible if you look. 6 different strains here.

Zones 5 & 6 also on point. Lots of bud sites showing up should be some nice plants here.

The SB Banana from FastBuds is so healthy and getting ready to stack bud sites herself.

Crazy wide little Mango Smile. Very open structure on her. Sativa dominant, but some wide hips on this one

Healthy green leaves right there

Thanks for stopping in. It’s about to get real in here folks!

Best grow I have had going in the new space, and excited for the journey.

Day 31

Feeding day in the ManCave

Mychorrizea
Diatomaceous Earth
Dr. Earth Flower Girl

All plants were fed with these dry amendments and then watered with RO water with both CalMag plus and Molasses. The Mychorrizea and the cultures in the Dr. Earth really will like feeding on those sugars.

We are close to adding in the UV light schedule.

I’ve adjusted their positions now to better suit the space, tallest in the back. It’s early yet, so they aren’t fully awake

So healthy. Looks like I finally remedied my last couple issues with water and CalMag. Should be smooth sailing. This room is easy to maintain the way it’s set up.

The CaliBubba has a unique leaf structure, reminiscent of Sativa dominance. This is actually the smaller one. I promise @Twenty20 Adam to get these two into the G&S thread. I lost all the other girls outside. They didn’t like NY temps at night

Here are two SB & Funk plants from Twenty20. They are a touch behind, but look nice and healthy. Kind of a medium open structure. Not as wide and open as the CaliBubba.

The Dos si dos from Barney’s Farm looks like she will be a monster. Can’t wait to smell those colorful buds. We should have some nice colors in here when it’s all said and done

Mephisto’s wedding starting to put her flowers together

The CaliBubba in the back up close. Very open structure. Different color green than any of the others.

This is the smaller CaliBubba again from overhead

They do like to be photographed

So much fun coming to the ManCave. Come on back and see how they like their feeding and the big finish to the stretch and adventure into flower

Peace love and happiness to ALL

Day 34 Defoliation day

Standard procedure
Of course, first week of flower, you defoliate. Took only the main fan leaves to open them up a touch.
Watered from top about .6 liters each. RO water with CalMag plus.

These plants are all super healthy. They are all growing just as their genetics would have them. The Mango Smile x 3BOG is the only small plant, but i think she’s just going to be very OG dominant short indica plant.
Looks super healthy too.

Zero issues to this point and no one looks like we have any deficiency issues or toxicity issues at all that’s nice. Sometimes when going into flower, stuff starts showing up. I think we’re good

Here in Zone 1, the SB & Funk plants up front have really stretched nicely. The SB Cheesecake in the back is absolutely a monster. She’s going to do well. Barney’s Farm has some nice genetics. They aren’t as flashy as other companies, but their plants have always been above average IMO. Mephisto’s strains are my favorite, but Barney’s Farm is in the top 5 for me.

Here you can see the SB Cheesecake better. The Mephisto’s Wedding is next to it in the corner, also going to be some dank herb. One of my favorite strains at night for relaxation.

The CaliBubba here from @Twenty20 Adam is simply awesome looking. Nice open structure and a nice deep forest green color on the leaves. Lots of three fingered leaves on her, but she really looks great. I pulled off most of her those leaves, as it was the big fans. Only in a 3 gallon pot too and has nice size

Over in this side in Zones 4-5&6, things also looking sweet!
Sour Stomper x Double Grape and 4 ass monkey x Walter White up front,
Middle two from left us the other CaliBubba, and the Critical 2.0. The bank row is the SB Banana from FastBuds (looking forward to seeing what that’s like), and the Dos si dos from BF. Both are supposed to turn some nice colors into flower.

It’s just a healthy, happy room! Here’s hoping we stay on this course.

Take care y’all

Peace love and happiness
