Electricity costs are rising, so I decided I will start a new grow, with the same OG seeds (turned out that 1 seed was a mystery, and 1 OG failed so replaced with a home grown seed) but this time a standard (for me) 4x scrog, quick veg, 16 nodes per plant, flower.
Top up the stash and hope it lasts untill power costs fall again.
I bought a new filter extra long as the "shorty" doesn't seem to allow enough air flow or remove enough heat, I now have great negative pressure.
Costs:
4 seeds .............................. 20 eur
2x 40l soil........................... 12 eur
6x 10l coco ........................ .. 6 eur
2x 10l perlite ...................... 12 eur
New filter ............................ 45 eur
318kwh @0.44 eur pwh. = 140 eur
TOTAL cost = .... 235 euro
OG-Kush x2 137gms
homie&Mystery 144gms
total 281gms
a little less than a euro a grm, I should live with that.
Used up current batch of nutes, zero cost, as already factored into the last grows.
The story so far:
June 30, dropped 4 x OG kush seeds into jiffies.
1 OG failed ,put in a homie
July 05, 4 seeds are now popped, 3xOG, 1 homie.
July 10, put under light at minimum power 4cobs @70w
July 18, repoted 2 plastic buckets, 2 grow bags
July 25, topped
July 27, upped volume 100watts
July 29, training/tucking begins
July 31, topped and upped volume 140watts
Aug 01, upped volume to 190watts 4x35v x1.050
Aug 03, 1st feed
Aug 06, Schwazz-defol, flip, added 2x 2700k cobs = total 225watts, last veg feed.
Aug 14, flower pistils become noticeable.
Aug 17, final tuck, looks pretty full.
Aug 21, added 2 more cobs 8 now, kept power at 240watts +/-
Aug 27, schwazz-final defol, nothing todo now but water,feed and hope nothing bad happens.
Sept 01, and boom! just like that, as of 01-Okt electricity costs 50% more.
the second such increase, so this is 100% more than when I started this grow.
Oct 15, cut down, clean up, time to wait for it to dry.
september 28, quietly scrogging the days away
The beginning.
