High Everybody,

Here is my 1st grow of 2014 that I have grown in coco + perlite mix.

Start : December 15th of 2013
End (cured) : February 25th of 2014

Strain :
Jock Horror (Home-Breeded) One of my friend's plants turned out to be an hermie so I told him to keep the seeds so I could give them another run.
First time I had grown this strain before but I was disappointed, large plants but the smoke had nothing special.
See ---> https://www.rollitup.org/t/diesel-ryder-jock-horror-grow-cfl-hps-more-than-130-pics.428484/
The second time was when I tried one of the hermied seeds alon with an Ice strain
See ---> https://www.rollitup.org/t/12-12-test-mini-journal-ice-fem-jock-horror-reg-enjoy.645941/

Commercial Description :
Jock Horror Autoflowering is a three-way marijuana hybrid of Northern Light, Skunk and Haze. Jock produces so much resin that even its branches glisten with THC glands. This marijuana variety has a unique fresh flavour and packs a strong "up" buzz.)

Nutrients :
- RootBastic for root development until the biginning of the flowering phase.
- Bio Nova NFT : Originally made for NFT hysroponic systems, I wanted to give it a try in coco. I used it after the first 3 weeks for the vegetative growth until the beginning of the flowering phase and it worked great!
- Platinum Nutrients Organic Bloom : My favorite organic flowering nutrient.
- Canna 13/14 PK : Excellent booster as well.
- Lemon Juice : About 2.5 / 3ml per liter in order to keep the water in the 5.8/6 ph range.
- CO2 tabs : One tab in a small glass of water with a small fan on tab so the CO2 get into the air and under the leaves (or a better photosynthesis).

Grow Space, Medium, Lights:
My tiny closet (1.2meter / 47 inches in height and 50cm / 19 inches large) that I emptied in order to fit at least 4 pots. For this grow, I decided to start with 5 Liter pots for each female plant.
The medium in a mix of perlite and coco bought from my headshop.
I like to start my plants with CFLs first (85w 2700k and 65w 2700k) and then install the 250w HPS when the flowering will get serious. This will be my first time using the HPS in this small space.
Timer set on 18 hours of light / 6 hours of dark.
The fan aims directly at the light for a better temperature. :leaf:
I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS JOURNAL! :joint:

WEEK 5 : SEXES ARE REVELED (PART 1/2)
Ph'ed water with lemon juice (5.8 / 6.0) + Rootbastic + Bio Nova NFT


4 males and 4 females! Well this is a fair number, four is exactly the number of females that I needed.
I'll keep one male for pollen.

WEEK 6 : TRAINING & POLLEN
Ph'ed water with lemon juice (5.8 / 6.0) + Rootbastic + Bio Nova NFT


I decided to tie the plants with small black strings so they won't touch the lights. I always keep the bulbs as close as possible from the plants.
I had to travel over the weekend and the male plant had his pollen all over the leaves (in a separate room). I took it and placed it into a small glass jar and to the freezer.

WEEK 7 : 250w HPS TIME !!! (Part 1/3)
Ph'ed water with lemon juice (5.8 / 6.0) + Platinum Nutrients Organic Bloom


Time to cut the CFL lights and set up the 205w HPS! I don't know how much light/heat the plants can take from it so I'll put it closer over the time in order to find the right distance from the leaves to the light.
The smell is approaching...

WEEK 8 : BUD DEVELOPMENT !!!
Ph'ed water with lemon juice (5.8 / 6.0) + Platinum Nutrients Organic Bloom + PK 13/14


The plants are growing crazy! Apparently the 2 plants in the front are growing main and side buds everywhere. However, the other two are growing more like "One Bud" plants.
I'm still happy with the result so far, the NFT nutrient worked great.

WEEK 9 : GLISTENING BUDS !!! (Part 1/4)
Ph'ed water with lemon juice (5.8 / 6.0) + Platinum Nutrients Organic Bloom


The HPS is closer to the plants now 15cm / 6 inches and they are loving it. The fan in the middle put fresh air directly on the bulb (with CO2 blowing all over the room).
Last nutrient feed at the beginning of the week. Next feed will be a flushing of ph'ed water.
