Mission:
The mission of my grow is to provide myself, and only myself, with a reliable supply of medical marijuana while staying 100% within the medical marijuana laws of the state I live in. I do not need massive amounts, an ounce or two per month will be sufficient. I intend to do a perpetual grow of 4-6 plants in flower and 2-4 in clone/veg.
The Grow Spot:
Currently I have a grow cabinet, it used to house a TV and accessories. It has two compartments separate of each other. The bigger is on top 33in wide, 18in deep, and 41 1/2in tall. The bottom compartment is 33in wide, 18in deep, and 25 1/2in tall. I plan to flower up top, and clone/veg below.
Things that need to be done: Line the walls with mylar, make 6" holes for ventilation. Make both compartments "light leak proof", currently I'm unsure how to go about doing this.
The Lighting:
Flower:
I have a 400watt HPS setup(ballast, socket, cooltube, reflector) on its way to me, the first time it came I refused the package cause it the box sounded like it was full of broken glass. So in the future I will be using a 400watt HPS and possibly additional CFL's to flower.
Currently I have a bunch of CFL 2700's (200 watts or so worth) in a bathroom lighting fixture(DIY reflector type thing). I am not going to get into that because I don't intend to use it much longer.
Veg:
Today I purchased a 2 foot T5 High Output Fluorescent Fixture. It holds 4 bulbs @ 24watts each, so a total or 96watts @ 6500K. I believe this will be sufficient to clone and veg 2-4 plants up to 1 foot.
The Soil:
For soil I have Fox Farm Light Warrior, and Fox Farm Ocean Forest. Obviously the Light Warrior is for seedlings/cloning, and the Ocean Forest is for veg/flowering. I will be adding perlite to the FF potting soil, but for now I don't intend to add anything else.
The Nutes:
General Organics BioThrive Grow(4-3-3) and Bloom(2-4-4). I also have some Alaska Fish Emulsion(5-1-1) which I may not use, and I may use anything else that I think I need when it comes to that.
The Plants:
3x Purple Urkle clone I got from a dispensary. I'm fairly certain that they are indeed Purple Urkles https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/463952-whos-grown-purple-urkle.html.
3x Stoney Girl Seeds. I bought a variety pack with 10 seeds also from the same dispensary. The variety pack does not specify which seeds are what strain so I have no idea. For one reason or another, only 3 of them sprouted.
Additional Info:
Anyone is welcome to comment, offer feedback, criticize my grow, whatever you might feel you need to do.
This is my first "real" grow so to say, it will be a huge learning experience for me.
