Well, This is a journal to show how far I've come along from a few months ago back in November when I first got into " INDOOR GROWING" and what a beautiful thing it has become for me. For those of you who don't know me. I'm an somewhat experienced soil grower who due to the lack of funds has decided to grow in the winter. And being the never happy with one way, a.d.d., o.c.d. type personality I have I was always on the lookout for some new way to grow in soil. Got bored with that - That's what I do at work as well. And taking it a step further decided to try my hand at hydro.

So this is what I'm working with:

A two room grow setup framed up in the basement dimensions -
4'x6' - Flowering and 6'x8' Vegging and Cloning

Vegging room:

350 Watts of Coiled Fluorescent Lighting Action - 3/4 6500 1/4 3200
A six planter bubbleponics setup from Stealth Hydro
4 pumps and 4 12" stones
An 18 site Mistic Cloner from Stealth Hydro
An Oscillating Fan set to LOW
A Digital PPM and pH meter
GH Flora Series Nutes
Neptune's Harvest for the organic soil
Superthrive
Cal-Mag
Hydroguard
Clearex
GH pH up and down
Hydrogen Peroxide
Frozen Water bottles for keeping the res temp down
Mylar Lined

Flowering Room:

One 1000 watt HPS with electronic ballast
A single GH Waterfarm Setup (two air pumps)
A Dayton 273 cfm Squirrel cage fan blowing into the veg room through diy carbon filter attachment. (going to vent out soon as possible)
Three fans blowing all over in there

And I'm sure there's more but that about does it for the details.

I always pH all water to 5.8 when I do anything in Hydro
I always pH all water to 6.0 when I do anything in Soil

If you guys didn't see my first journal, Out of 5 plants I ended up with just one female, which actually ended up being a Hermie. Uggh don't get me started. I actually grew a bunch more white demons over the last month and they ALL turned male as well. So I finally found a female, threw her in soil (which I know best) and started cloning the CRAP out of her. So every plant in every picture you see are all guarenteed females. So There!

:l eaf::lea f:

That's it for now but here's a couple pics of what I got going on in each room.

Things look real good.

Those girls in the flower room, how old are they? And how long have those plants been in flower? And is that a poinsettia?

Thanks for the journal. It will be fun to watch.

It's either my ego, or the fact that I never leave the house... but sometimes I forget everything isn't about me.

Lookin' Good Jonny! I clone too because I can't stand working with them and getting males. I'm going heppy as a sideline with some clones or possibly getting another strain to mix in. Think I have the process down but I like to experiment because I'm an idiot! LOL! I'll be following.

Thanks guys, always love a little support. Yeah, this one should be fun to watch. No more male induced disappointment. Oh and yes jig it is. It was looking a little unhappy upstairs (bit cold for them i suppose). Yeah Hulk, I havested the hermie ended up getting a little under a half lb. on that one plant harvested two weeks early. Man I am impressed with that 1000w. But Yeah I just kinda kept things going. Got a little busy so I didn't get to update or come on the forum to often but I'll be sure to keep up with this one.
