2nd Grow CFL FEM Jock Horror and Short Rider

metalgodusa · #1 05-22-2009, 10:27 PM

Ok so this is my second grow, my first attempt was very exciting but failed due to my two bagseed plants being males. Well at least I got some experience from it as I expected.
This grow will be a semi-stealth rubbermaid grow as well as my first one was too. Here are some pictues of my growing supplys and my grow box.
Grow Box:
-2 30 Gallon Rubbermaid Totes
-Spray Painted Flat White on the inside, glows like a christmas tree bulb on the out side.
-1 3 socket vanity light fixture mounted with chain and eyehooks to adjust.
-A crap Load of Y splitters to get as many lights as possiable.
-10 23 watt 6500k 1600 lumen CFL
2 26 watt 5000k 1660 lumen CFL
=12 CFL Bulbs, 282 watts, 19320 lumens. For Vegging
-12 23 watt 2700k 1600 lumen CFL
1 26 watt 2700k 1750 lumen CFL
1 32 watt 2700k 2150 lumen CFL
= 14 CFL Bulbs, 334 watts, 23100 lumens. For Flowering.
-2 3" Computer Case Fans upper right hand side of top tote.
1 120mm Computer Case Fan top right/center of top tote
= For Exhaust.
-1 3" Computer Case Fan Lower Left side bottom.
2 2" passive intakes (that probably do more harm then good.) on bottom of bottom tote.
= For Intake.
-1 Vertical Oscalating Fan on the inside for "Wind" and air circulation.
Growing Supply's:
Miracle Grow Organic Choice
Miracle Frow Perlite
-Nutes:
Worm Castings that I plan on making a wurm tea with for foilage feeding.
Alaska 5-1-1 Fish Emulsion for Vegging.
Alaska 0-10-10 Morbloom for flowering.
-1 Jiffy Peat pellet Greenhouse.
PH Control:
Vinger for down Baking Soda for up.
also using reverse osmosis water that has a PH about 7.0 so not much vinegar used.

and of course.... 1 Feminised Jock Horror seed
and 1 Feminised Short Rider Seed.

I kinda collected some of this stuff from my last grow, I also Live in a remote area so my supplys are very limited. I was thinking about using a soil/sand/compost mixture That works very good for my veggie and herb garden. But Bringing outside stuff I heard wasnt a good idea unless you bake it in the oven and im not putting dirt in my oven so I flopped that idea.

Basically the reason im Planting the So called Autoflowering Short Rider is so I can hurry up and get some bud to smoke. Im dry right now and its going to be that way untill I come across some or wait untill my short rider has matured.
Which is supposed to flower in 45 days?
Any who im also doing the Jock horror mmmm... I heard some good stuffabout this one. I plan on LSTing the jock horror.

So this is day one I planted 1 JH and 1 SR each in a jiffy peat pellet, watered with PH'd water to 6.5. Placed it in a warm room in the window, it seems i've by accident noticed that every time somthings not sprouting I've placed it in a window and comes right up.

If anybody has any constructive critisism please bleed your heart out on this one. I need it trust me!

P.S. The lights in the pictures are 2700k They will be switched out before putting my babies in the incubater.

Well it is now day 17 into my JH grow and day 5 into my SR grow since it has germinated, I lost my first one dont really know what went wrong, it sprouted and dried up quickly and died. here are some pix. Let me know what you think, the first one is the SR and the next two are my JH and the last is of both, JH left SR Right.

I have been vegging my JH for 75 days and My SH has been vegging for 63 days. There growth is really really slow my SH is about a foot high. I've been LSTing the JH and still not completely around a 5 gallon pot. I started a Hydroponics grow in a GH Waterfarm I have been using GH Flora Series Nutes now for all my plants, the fish emulsion stank way to rancid. The Plants seem to respond better to the GH Nutes. My waterfarm grow is going very nicely the strain is BlackJack and I am at week 3 of Vegging. Seems to be growing at a really fast rate. Unlike the soil grows. I will post some pics later.

Here are pictures of my grow the first is Short Rider vegging for 64 days, the second is jock horror vegging for 76 days and the thrid is my waterfarm grow and its BlackJack it is 3 1/2 weeks from seed. Oh I forgot to mention that I built a new grow room in my closet. But Temps are crazey high though there peaking at 97 and when the lights are of it goes down to 77 anybody have any DIY resoulutions for the high temps???
