Welcome Welcome!
This is my first grow journal so please bare with me. You can call me Mr. Oz, and I ask that you please be understanding if I don't go over the same stuff others on here normally might. I'd like to think I may, at the very least, offer up some info that might help someone else growing these strains. I will attempt to provide you with as in depth insight as I can so that this journal can be used as a model/template if needed for another grower. Well, onto it then.The girls I've been working with have been from great stock; one of which being a breed all my own, let's start with her:
ECF - Epoxy
(in-house Glue pheno, back-crossed/stabilized)
60/40 Sativa dominant
56-63 day flowering (indoors)
(click links for strain info)
Samsara Seeds - Holy Grail 69
World of Seeds - Amnesia
Blimburn Seeds - Tangie Auto
Next I'll list off the soils/nutrients I prefer (to each their own, these just never fail me) :
ProMix BX (for rooted cuttings and early vegetative clones)
Root Organics Formula 707 (for vegetative and flowering plants)
Hydroton (usually takes me 25L to fill the bottom of twelve 5 gallon buckets enough)
Cutting Edge Solutions
*Micro, Grow, Bloom
*Bulletproof-Si
*G-Rex^
Sunleaves Mexican Bat Guano (top of soil/drench-drain feeding)
Technaflora MagiCal
Root Organics Ancient Amber^
SuperThrive^
IN THE RAW Organic Agave
Advanced Nutrients Flawless Finish
^(I also use these things combined as a foliar spray. Works amazing for clones, I use it all throughout my veg.)
Throw all this under 2 x 1000w HPS (2 x 600w LED during veg) and we've got ourselves the makings of a nice 8' x 10' greenroom!
GERMS EWWWW!!!!!
Well actually, in this case, these beans germ'ing and sprouting went on without a hitch as per my usual methods. Just let a shot glass of water sit over night in the cupboard, drop your bean in and leave it over night again. The next day it should submerge with a little poking, from there just keep watch for it to crack and produce a little white tail. At this point I leave it soak for another half day or so before dropping it into a Jiffy pellet, making sure not to obstruct the seed shells' path out of the soil too much. After these sprouts have gotten to be around 3" tall I then drop the pellet into a 3" square pot with the ProMix BX.
NOTES:
-The crop in this journal was started from clones directly from seeds sprouted last generation.
-The Epoxy was topped to early and as a result has a very short stature to it.
-The Holy Grail 69 received inadequate lighting and as a result the clones showed preflower satuartion.
-The Amnesia shows great vigour and is receptive to early nute'ing (unlike last generations' growth).
(I am actually about halfway through the flowering cycle right now, so I am able to break this journal up into a couple entries. This being the first, I just wanted to cover the groundwork so to speak. Next I will cover my vegetative cycle with pictures and notes from the clone stage to the beginning of my 12/12 cycle.)
==========================================================
Vegetative Cycle
I'll start you guys off with some shitty photography, a sort of play by play, through these girls' veg.
One week after rooting, getting prepped for new soil to stretch their new roots into.
About 2-3 weeks old here. The short, thick leafed are the Holy Grail 69, the tallest ones are the Amnesia, and the distinctly spindly ones are the Epoxy. (the Tangie isn't in here yet as it's too early)
About 4-5 weeks old here. The same traits show through in each strain. I prefer sticks and hemp string to trellises, netting, or SoG.
Epoxy @ about 5-6 weeks old here.
The stalks on these girls just before they go into their 12/12 cycle, all thanks to Bulletproof-Si.
(I'm going to add my notes and such tomorrow.)
