just wanted to showoff my setup i guess, see what ya'll think. here is the info
this is my first grow. purpose is for personal use and gifts. where i live there
isnt a whole lot of chronic buds that move through the area..at least i dont know
the people that can get them
strains= thai super skunk and northern lights from seed.
soil = miracle grow potting mix
water = tap water that sits around for a
good while before i use it
fertilizer = fish emulsion (ick!)
flowering carbohydrate/flavoring = honey water
transplanting solution = root stimulator and starter solution
cloning gel = clonex
veg box = 4 storm windows bound together to create a "greenhouse"
(plan on adding a plexiglass roof soon)
dimensions = 3 x 3 foot
lighting = two blue "grow" lights(75w) and one white
"grow" light(65w) and one small fluoroscent fixture.
temps = average of 75F
ventilation = box fan blowing into an open window deflecting off
of the sides and gently breezing through the plants.
reflection material = 2 small sheets of drywall covered in aluminum
foil on 2 sides of box. not to mention that the glass reflects pretty
well also.
flower box = 2 walls are brick, one drywall, 4th is flap/door made
out of a layered canvas drop cloth and black weed fabric. thing is
sealed up pretty good from ambient light - stays nice and dark.
dimensions = 30 x 30 inches
lighting = 150W HPS with reflector
temps = average 80F
ventilation = intake through 4" diameter hole in bottom, exhausted
by variable speed fan that deflects off of the sides and out the top
via small opening
reflection material = 3 sides are again drywall panels covered in
aluminum foil( i know its ghetto, ill get some panda film someday,
maybe)
# of plants = 2 sprouted on approx. 5/10(firstborn) and 2 that
sprouted about 2 weeks later(secondborn). both firstborn and
secondborn are 1 of each strain
My firstborns are actually in flowering light schedule(since 6/8, i
know i know its too early - trust me, i realize that i have a patience
issue, anyways. another reason is that i dont have a whole lot of
vertical room in my flower box(by design) and ive gathered that
they still grow quite a bit in flowering mode. thinking about maybe
topping one and not the other.... comments on this?
My secondborns are little ones growing in my veg box
and i will definitely let them grow longer in there as i plan on
cloning both of my firstborns once i am 100% positive that they
are female - and i think that they are.
my main goal is to start clones of each strain and just keep that cycle
going for like i said, personal smoke and gifts.
another goal is to grow a male and breed the two strains together and
then collect those seeds, germinate, grow and clone. so in the end a
continuous cycle of cloning thai super skunk, northern lights and then
a combination of the two. and then eventually ordering some new seeds and
trying some other varieties.
biggest and most obvious goal - to do all of this and not go to prison for
it because i dont believe it is deserving.
so that is all for now, will continue to add to this. please feel free to say
whatever you want, comments, questions and suggestions are all welcome. let me
know if ive forgotten anything. thanks for looking
peace and happy smoking
