All organic indoor grow, Medusa from Nirvana**With Pictures**

KWsmoke · #1 10-19-2008, 12:18 PM

Whats up guys,

This is my first indoor grow. For seed I chose Nirvana's new female strain, Medusa. I'm using an all organic soil mix that I made to my liking.

They are about a month old now, and about a week into their transplant. I will update pictures every week to show their progress.

Any comments or questions are welcome.

so whats your plan with the mylar in the buckets.
details man details. lol

whats your soil, nutes, lighting,venting,room.
fill us in with what you`ve learned so far.

i just read some of your other posts.
if this is the mg soil dont give it any nutes, there should be enough to carry them through most of the veg. i would only give it to them if they look deficient.

also hope you didn`t spend a bunch of money on the led`s

haha sorry man, I was kinda pressed for time when I started the thread. I planned to fill everyone in on Sunday.

I put the mylar in the buckets because I thought I could use the 3 inches of bucket space to give 360 degree reflection.

For soil I started in the MG organic shit but it SUCKED! So I transplanted into an all organic mix.

I looked around the web for different recipes and I came up with this one-

1 bag of regular soil- 40 lbs
1 bag of top soil - 10 lbs
1 bag of worm castings-10 lbs
1 part of pearlite
1 part vermiculite
1 tbl spoon per gallon of bat guano
1 tbl spoon per gallon of blood meal
and 1 tbl spoon per gallon of bone meal

For lighting I'm using two 4' fluorescent lights with 2 CFLs on reflectors supplementing. I'm not sure on the watts right now, but I'll check and get back to you guys.

Well, the room has changed. I started the grow in my attic and things were going great until..... one day I was really baked and went up the attic ladder to check on my ladies. I climbed over the first rafters with no problem, being careful not to trip. My luck ran out, and I tripped over my extension cord. I fell hands first on to the dry-wall of my kitchen ceiling, then head first on my kitchen floor.

Don't worry, the plants were fine!

So from then on, I thought my closet would work fine. The closet is about 10' X 6' with 8' ceilings

hahaha, dam your luck the plants are ok......ah hell i hope you are to.lol

sopil sounds fine. oh ya dont mention that mg word around here. lol
the only thing i may do different is once you mix all that together i would have added 20 to 30% perlite and about 10% vermiculite.
what do you mean regular soil, hope not from the ground, like garden soil.
with that mix you have there you shouldn`t need nutes for most of the veg. what are you going to use for bloom

also what are the kelvin # on the lights.

Thanks for the info man, I was just about to use my first grow nutes tonight, but I think I'll hold off.

For flowering I'm going to use Fox Farms "Open Sesame" in the beginning and "Beastie Bloomz" later. Should I get "Cha Ching?"

Do you think it would help if I started using horticulture molasseses now?

--not sure on Kelvins but I'll calculate that when I get home.

bonz · #8 10-21-2008, 02:12 PM

theres nothing to calculate for kelvins. it should be on the bulbs.

now you do know that those ff nutes are not true organics do you. they are organic based, chemical additives.
the only one in thier line that i am aware of that is natural is the big bloom.
if you are looking for a simple but verry good nute that is 100% organic. have a look at the pure blend pro, veg bloom liquid karma and cal-mag+. they also have sweet but it is the same as molasses and that is cheeper.

when you have time to have a look at ny dutch treat bubba kush journal in my link. all my recipes are in there. for soil and nuting. i have never called the mollases, mine is unsulphered. it may be the same thing though, just never heard it called that.

ya you can actualy feed it to them more than the nutes. try 1 tblspoon per gallon to start then raise to 2 per gallon over a bit of time.

do you have a ph meter or ppm

Okay just got home.

---------------------------
Kelvins-
I have two 4' fluorescent light fixtures each with two bulbs @ 5500
so 5500X4= 22000

+

two CFLs on reflectors @ 2700

2X2700= 5400

22000+5400=
--------------------------------------
27400 Kelvins in all.

Damn man, I didn't know that they weren't true organic. Thanks, I'll look into pure blend. Are there any good organic hydroponic nutrients? I just got my V-drip and looking what to use for my next grow.

Awesome grow journal by the way! Top quality.

KWsmoke · #10 10-21-2008, 06:52 PM

Okay, update time.

I am going to try a little experiment tonight just after watering.

As this is my first grow, I'm not sure on what method of growing provides the greatest yield. (FIM , LST, or Natural Growth)

SO... rather than take someone's advise and then having to wonder what is truly the best... I'm going to try all three.

I'll assign a name for each plant to use from now on. (n for natural, f for FIM, l for LST)

Natural plant = Nina
FIM method plant = Fiona
LST method plant = Leila

I'll have pictures up on sunday to show how they are progressing.
