Ok guys,
This summer I designed and built my op....details will follow
I am not doing anything special but I thought it would be nice to post a thread anyway....yes I know just some other newbie doing the Al B Tribute Grow.
Yes and No.
It is a perpetual harvest SoG with top-drip and hydroton as the medium, I utilize some aeroponics for my veg phase (which is only 4-7 days) But Mums and Flower are top-drip (I will be changing to flood drain in flower-details as to why and whats what to follow). I have tweaked some things to fit my needs but otherwise its just another perpetual SoG.
I ordered seeds in early August and germinated on August 23rd. I used seedbankupdate.com to find reputable seed banks and had no problems with my choice(s)
I have 7 strains going in order to find the best for my op.
Afgani #1-pure indica
Skunk #1-80/20 sativa/indica-cup winner from way back in the day
Shiva Shanti-afgani dominant indica
Malawi Gold-african sativa
White Widow-f1 hybrid
Big Bud-f1 hybrid
NLxAK
Pretty basic choices but i will start adding some other mums to my quiver in early 09'
Got some kiwi haze and cali orange seeds that I have not started yet.
I waited on the haze till I worked the bugs out and the cali orange doesn't look that dank. But I will probably start a few soon to do some trial runs.
I guess we will start with my veg, clone and mother room.
Mums are under 1kw Mh, Aeroponic Veg Unit is using a 4'-8 bulb T5 (400w floro), Clones are done using rapid rooters instead of rw cubes but otherwise I follow the batch of clones in rockwool set-up.
Here are some pics.
Starting with mums. More posts and pics to follow....oh what the hell I am going to throw in a couple bud pics too....i just can't help myself.
