Shmith's perpetual grow

Hey well ill get you caught up.

reverse osmosis water
Growing edge technology 2 stage neutrients
soil less mixture, (pro-mix soon to be sunshine mix 4/5)
4 40W T12 flourecent for veg
1 400W MH for flower (soon to be HPS)

im putting clones in jiffy pellets than to 1 gal pots than to 2.5 gal pots for flowering. current flowering pots are 3 gal. but i want slightly smaller i think.

getting the flower room hooked up with a new reflector tomorrow. and then alls i need to figure out is the ventilation/carbonfilter and purchase a smaller oscialting fan sense mines too big for the room lol and being used in veg.

more pics tomorrow!

P.S. some photos from the first thred may look familiar. dont worry bout it

so this is my grow journal so im gunna ramble bout it lol.

i started out using reverse osmosis water that i would distribute to bottles from 1L - 4L depending on amount needed, noticed the RO water sat at 7.0 pH with nothing in it, with neuts added it would hit the target (veg - 6.1). i than switched over to tap water with Britta filter and it brought the base pH from a wicked +7.9 to a nice 6.2 or so depending on how old filter is, for a while i thought this was just fine although i did think i was over fertilizing so i backed the neuts off half way and it seemed bout the same and soon after came brown/rust circles. spots or rust. looked into a bit and noticed my tap watter left open for 14 hours rose to a ph of 7.2!!! the ro water stayed within ~0.2! these spots were from the pH fluxuation i believe.

I have sense switched my water back to RO and seeing what the outcome becomes.

PICS TOMORROW! (or later today?)


P.S. just hung the reflector, only 8 hours 10 minutes till i see how it looks and hope i didnt break nothing!!!! And HUGE THANKS to the people who got me to where i am today.

so lets get started, i got the reflector hung last night round 1:30 and tweaked it this morn when i woke up. i like the look so far cant wait to fill the room!

the last few days Jambi (indica in flower) started to show mass tricombs and ended up watering her today round 8pm with the "power to bloom" fertilizer added

just loaded my silver surfer vaporizer and figured its time to drop a line lol


got some dryer ducting today so im sucking heat from the middle of my closet (above the light) and right below my ballast, pointed up- pics later- and i hope to be putting the veg area in there tomorrow or the next day. thats 4 indicas and 4 sativas, sometime between this week and next week. copping every month or so soon. depending on flower time. im thinking about 6 weeks.

hopefully soon ill have rigged up some sort of smell filter. im thinking carbon wraped around some chicken wire hooked up to a 6" duct for my fan lol. we'll see untiill than ill enjoy my silver surfer a bit more, get a little more medicated and maybe drop some pictures if i find any worth posting lol


peace out

hey folks, so i decided to steal the wifes camera today cause its got some nice focus on it, and man, the close up is just awesome. not microscopic or anything but looks way better than my camera!

enjoy

well i got a wee bit of a difference goin on now lol the closet is slightly fuller

i like that i cant really see the carpet anymore!! and i got a watering can to make it a bit easier on me too lol and a soil moistness tester... my god those things are awesome!!! and like 5 bucks!


anyways enjoy

hey folks, just checking in after a few long days, the clones are all in cups now, i cut 2 more off a mother plant than ill have 2 to screw around with, load and unload em wit nuts, see how they like it. maybe get a but better of an idea of the Genotype i got here. its an indica of sorts and it seems to be doing alot better than the sativa domanant.

but also in these last few days iv done some room upgrades: new door, ran ducting, new fan, replaced duct fan, and last but not least, a HPS BALLAST and BULB! i hope i get some dank buds now! its so awesome and orange, im sure the plants will love the new environment a bit better.

Next Upgrade: Carbon filter! and make a way so i can run ducting at night. (i still just tuck it under the door at 11[lights out])


ill have pics up later today i hope. i just noticed a bunch were on the cam still lol

see you soon

Veg Area:


aint much to it. theres frankenstein in the clone dome and the young ones got put into cups after i saw roots. plus the mother is looking good.. got a bit heat stressed/dry the other day but bounced right back!

hey folks,

just figured id update you on the happenings of the room. so the indica is looking great, i had trimmed it up a bit so that a bit more energy goes up to the top buds for the last bit of flowering. the were lookin like they were dieing anyways so i was just helping the plant get rid of them anyways lol. also pruned the sativas to hopefully push more grow energy towrds the buds. nothign rank, just the bad lookin leaves.

as for veg.. eveything is prety much the same i removed some~iron deficint looking~ leaves off the two new clones, and every thing else is lookin good, just waiting for the growth spirts now lol. than pop them into flowering MUHAHAHAH more buds!! lol all in good time


pics up soon!
