Howdy AFN. I hope you're all good and growing some fine meds
This is my first photoperiod grow after 15 months of growing autos. I fancied a change and wanted to grow some strains with UK genetics. I'm a sucker for UK cheese, but it doesn't do me any favours if I smoke it all the time. So I decided to try some cheesy hybrids from Underground Originals / UGORG. They are a UK breeder, regs only, old school strains mostly, organically bred and attract rave reviews.
Strain 1: UGORG DiscoBiscuit - UK Cheese x UK Blues x Cookies. Heavy indica. Very strong. Planted 5 regs and got 4 girls!
Strain 2: UGORG Blues - UK Blues x UK Cheese. Said to be extremely close to Blues cut. Feel good, happy vibes, hashy fruity weed. Yum. Planted 5 regs and got 2 girls. Didn't do the female dance before planting these
Tent: 4 X 3 Homebox Ambient.
Lights: DIY Citizen cobs 250w 3500k. Maxibright 315 CMH with Agro bulb 3100k for flowering. They spent the first 2 or 3 weeks under 100w T5 6700k lights.
Extraction: A first for me! Phresh Hyperfan Stealth 150mm/6 inch. Can Lite carbon filter. Another first - Whoot!
Phonic Trap silent ducting.
Medium/Pots: 15 litre Autopots and 11 litre square pots. Coco. No perlite.
Nutrients: Growers Ark Coco Grow, Bloom, Root Tonic and Extra Traces. Hard water version. UK nutes
Fed to run off every day. Will be twice a day in flower.
Veg lighting has been 24/0. Dimmed overnight.
Started in root riot cubes, then nursery pots, then 3 or 4 litre pots and kept in these until showed sex at just over 4 weeks! Now in final pots for last few days. Still quite small as were root bound while waiting for sexy bits! Getting happy now.
Had major blunder at week 3 due to PH metre reading 5.8 when actually 5.3! Ouch. Now sorted.
Can't think of anything else other than a small shout out .....
