Getting to perpetual...journal

honkeytown · #1 07-02-2008, 05:22 PM

Well this is gonna be my attempt to set up a perpetual harvest. I am using my master bath to do it. I have a 600 watt hps hung in the shower for flowering. I have it's hood being air cooled by a fan pulling 140 cfm through it. The area for flowering is 4'9''x2'5''x7'. for right now I have a box fan blowing in there and the temp seems to be staying around 78 to 81 which I can handle for now till I can get a little more ventilation. I am running the bathroom fan which I figure is pulling about 70 cfm from the room. I am still trying to decide whether or not to split the room and veg in there too or just set up a closet in the house for vegging and cloning....I will figure it out by tomorrow.....for now I am not in a big rush. here is a diagram of the room and some pics of what I have set up so far. please lemme know what you guys think...I am about to load it up with the girls here in a few minutes...i will get some pics of that up in a bit......veg and clone area to come shortly

So for veg I have a 150 watt hps and three four foot two tube t12's...they kinda take up some room so I am thinkin I need to find the most effective way to save space with em....

alright...well I decided to go with part of the closet in the master bedroom for the veg area....right now it is looking sparse but soon I will have my four orange crush and four more connies in there...I am gonna make a shelf in there so I can raise the light to have a mother or two in there "if I even use this space long enough to get there" and be able to have some clones and smaller vegging plants....it's only temporary till I can get more venting in the bathroom...soon...I probably wont even get to mothers in this space.

so I got two Conquistador seeds in soil today. I mixed some sand in with the potting mix to loosen it up a bit...we will see if it helps out this round. the big girls are doing well today...one is starting to yellow out pretty badly almost overnight...must be about there. the other four babies have been moved to the veg area under 24/0 with the connies. still waiting for two more connie seeds to germ and they will go under there too. I plan on veggin 1-4 for about a month then throwin them into flower. should be good. the clones are still very slowly rooting themselves...still just very small root bumps...couple more days. anywho...here are some pics. I seem to have all my temps under cotrol and ventilation is good so I am happy with this setup for the moment.

Not much of an update but I fed the big girls today...I figure I will wait at least two more weeks before I cut...well one of them...I think the other one has a little sat. in it..it is coming along a little slower. anyway..the yellowing is normal but I figured I would give her one more feeding before i start to flush her out

update on the plants....the large girls are looking good. they seem to be flourishing under the 600 watt. I had two connies pop through the soil today and have eight more that I am trying to germ...they should be in soil within two days. the clones are still going slow and 1-4 have done some funny shit. I topped them all at the second set of cerated leaves....one of them is fine but the other three have an odd growth pattern..it looks a little funny to me...but I am not in the least bit concerned about it. I also threw two seeds into my germ plate from the sativa I just harvested. it was a hermie and I only ended up with two seeds from an ounce and a half of dried cured buds...I think I did pretty well considering. here are some pics to keep you all looking...lol...any input on any of this guys and girls? lemme know
