I'm Ready- Blue OG, White Lavender, OG #18, and Sour Kush.

Hi guys. It's time to start my second grow of the year. The AK and Pineapple Express are curing nicely at around 60 days and 9 oz. off the four plants.



Today I am germinating feminized Blue OG, White Lavender, OG #18, and Sour Kush. Also a auto Diesel from G13.



Took an hour to prep the closet. So much easier the second time around!



Setup: 2' X 3' X 10' closet, 400w MH/HPS cool tube & bat wing, 4" inline exhaust to attic with Phresh carbon filter, and four 5 gal Geopots. http://geopot.com/

Stopped by the hydro store this morning and stocked up on my Roots Organics Buddha Grow, Bloom, and Potting soil.

I'm so happy to be gardening again!

Im subbed

btw

will you have a small Auto in the middle of the grow for the fist 8 weeks ?

I almost forgot. Yes, I will throw in a G13 Diesel Auto in the middle for early harvesting! Thx

Im surprised by myself, that I could remember, tho I seems to remember stuff better when its not for myself

I drop the seeds into a glass of tap water and place them on a warming pad yesterday. 16 hours later I have tap roots, whew!

That Blue O.G. is a sexy bitch,I am growing one out right now.Subbed for the ride.

glad to see your back at it good luck ill be along for the ride this time too

Hey PRO,what's up??I see you seemy buds on that other thread.That was a NYD x OG KUSH,I got 5.5oz off of,plus some good fluff and sugar trim that i made a decent amount of Iso hash with.



I see your growing again.I'll sub to this one,since its from seed.Heres to a good grow.GL

Sohigh, Slip, Grorite, b166er thanks for visiting. Not much to see yet but I'm sure I will have interesting stuff to share along the way.

First issue: warmer temps
Fresh air intake is 74-75 degrees and grow closet temp is 84 degrees. That's about 6 degrees warmer than winter. Is that going to be a problem?

The house a/c is set at 73 degrees through summer so I should be able to maintain the 83-85 degrees. I have two fans running and a 4" inline exhaust fan for the 400w running at about 75% to keep the noise down.

wow, incredibly clean and organised set up.

85F is at the high end, but with good air flow Im sure they will be fine, just make sure the 85F is at the tops at the top

a small Co2 system would do wonders here, but I wouldn't bother just try to keep it closer to 80F then 85F so it wont go to the 90ish at the top of your canopy

and do consider to run it at night, I dunno with the AC (I don't have one) but running my 600W at night made my temp`s drop a few from 6 in the evening to 6 in the morning also work much better for me as Im home (day time Im at work)

like always

You should be alright with a little warmer temps,like Slipon said before with good airflow you should be o.k..My temps were in the 85-90(currently 80-85)degree range with cfl's and have done o.k..I mean the buds were not as dense as I would like,but hey,damn good enough!Im sure you could get a nice co2 setup going,although I personally don't think the effort and money don't make a big enough difference for us closet growers.I use simple sugar and yeast mix just for kicks.Do you think you'll do any training or anything different?I wanna see that BLUE OG.l8r

It's going to be fun with five different strains going at the same time! Yeah the CO2 is not the direction I want to go now, trying to keep it simple. I'm sure a couple tweaks will get the temps lower. Plus, I know having plants and pots in there reduces the temps at the canopy level. Yes, I'm going to Mainline these babies. Modified version of mainlining because of the space but I'm ready to bump up my grams/watt. First grow was .63 g per watt. I know I can do better!

Good advice. I can pop the door and drop temps if it gets too high. I can also run at night.

Thanks man. I like my things tight.

I've got some updates from this morning. Mixed up the seedling soil and transferred the seeds to the Dixie cups. Now comes the waiting...

Looks like your soil mix is similar to mine.The only thing is I have a five gallon bucket with ⅜ in holes in the bottom I use to sift my seedlings soil with.I think im gonna go totally anal and start to sift all my soil with a bigger 18g tote.Some of this bag soil has some lumber and rocks in it

Yeah, pretty chunky soil bags for the seedlings. When I make the transfer I will be curious to see the results from the Roots Organics soil vs. the hardware store organic bag stuff above. $19 bag, it should wipe my butt.

Looks like a good setup! Just as excited for this one as for my own grow.

Good lord man, can you come over to do that for my indoor, shit looks sick !!
Awesome job with the added in written info, how did you do that?

I like how you only got 4-5 plants and grow them big!
Smoke looks super dank!

Good to hear from you. Your plants are looking really good and I like the LED add on. You and Slipon have gone the way of the LED. I'm still counting on the big guns, 400 watts of MH n HPS, for now. Besides, my wife pays the electric bill so I don't give a ...

I just finished my first indoor tent 400W mh HPS had a few to many plants and didnt know WTF i was doing and ended up with these

not unhappy with it but not happy either 182 grams , so not great either , but my 1st time so I aint upset and I can use your set up to help dial in mine.
