Here we go again.
I guess I'll do another Grow Journal for what I am currently toying around with. This is my personal medical grow which will be a pretty simple perpetual arrangement only flowering in sets of 2-3 plants per time on a 4-6 week rotation (to be determined) I will never have more than 12 plants at any given time only 6 of which will ever be maturing and this should give me roughly a decent little harvest every 4-6 weeks once it's completely going. I am hoping for a good enough yield to keep myself completely stocked up at all times without any dry spells plus have enough for cooking, concentrate and other experimentation so I am probably going to veg 4-6 weeks for each set as I'd like to have a decent yield per plant as making concentrates and such can turn an ounce into a few grams pretty quickly!
Brief Details
I have two grow areas, neither of which are very large - Veg tent is 2x4x5 feet or so and has a 600W Metal Halide running full blast 24/0, only 3 plants are currently vegging in there (AMS, Cluster Bomb, Supersonic Cristal Storm (auto), and I have a Critical Jack seedling in there as well but has light restrictions in place so it doesn't get nailed too hard. Temps currently 77 w/ ~35% Humidity although the seedling has a humidity dome contraption so it's very high there.
Flower room is roughly 8x8x7 and currently has 2 600W HPS with open wing reflectors, I may add more 600's but am unsure right now. For supplemental side lighting I have banks off T8 shoplights but also planning on adding a couple 4-8 lamp T5 fixtures at some point plus getting some UV10 Reptisun or similar tubes in there as well. There is a (very) small 6000BTU A/C window unit in there now which DOES keep the temps just below 80 even with 1200-1800W of HID going but it's pushing it. I have considered a 14,000 BTU dual hose unit as I think it's kind of annoying running a Window unit but they do great work if you build a box for them and extract the heat.
Everything is running in DWC Bubble Buckets with 4" round Airstones per bucket and a very simple aquarium pump (airpod) I am running straight Lucas Formula at this time and it's around 600-650ppm. Everything is pretty simple right now haven't even been interested in taking photos yet but have a couple. I have no plans of doing a SCROG or anything because it's kind of impossible to do it when I have to move my plants from a Veg tent that is tiny to another room through a very narrow door and training once in flower is also not exactly what I want to do.
They are being LST'd (at lest the Cluster Bomb so far) SSCS is auoto so I'm not touching it and AMS has been the slowest growing plant of the bunch, Not sure if it has any issues currently but it's around 5.8-6.0 PH but finally starting to pick up pace.
Crappy start to the journal, haven't really figured out how I want to approach it so i'll just wing it. Only have a couple pics atm.
This is 5 days of growth (between photos):
