Super Awesome Grow Journal with lotsa pics

Okay, so this ain’t the first rodeo but it’s certainly the first time documenting it for the world. My hopes for this journal is to create a mutual relationships with all the other growers, blowers and heads of the world so that I can learn a little and hopefully you all can learn a little.
I guess in the interest of full disclosure I’ll describe the whole set up and everything being used.
There’s a 3 room set up

  1. The Clone/Male room- This room is rarely used and is actually just a small closet with a 4 foot long 4 light fluorescent system. As the name implies this room is used to put clones in for the first 2 weeks after being taken and also to put males in for a week or two on the off chance pollen is needed.
  2. The Veg room- The veg room is a 4’ by 4’ by 6’ grow tent lit by a 600w Digital MH. It’s got one oscillating circulation fan and not exhaust fan/smell filtration. The reason there’s no exhaust/filtration is that the front flap is always left open and being that they’re not in flower, there’s hardly any smell.
  3. The Flower Room- The Flower room is 6’4” by 6’4” by 6’4” and is lit by a 1000w HPS. There’s one oscillating circulation fan (it could probably use another), a 640 CFM squirrel cage style exhaust fan with a 3’ barrel style carbon filter.
The nutes
Most of the nutes being used are the store brand of a nearby hydroponic shop. For security purposes the shop and names of the nutes will be unnamed. However, the veg nute is a 7-9-5 the bloom nute is 3-12-6 and the bloom supplement is 2-15-4. SuperThrive is used on seedlings and clones and usually once during veg a small amount of old school ammonium nitrate is used. For some of you more perceptive growers you’ll also notice some spider mite damage on some of these girls. I’m using a mix of a neem oil based, store brand miticide in combination with AzaMax for them.
Obviously it’s a soil grow and for anyone interested Pro-Mix is being used.
The strains

  1. The main strain for this grow is going to be Tangerine Dream from Barney’s Farm. 10 of the clones in the veg room (mylar walls) are T.D’s as well as 5 of the nearly finished plants in the flower room (white walls)
  2. There are 3 Ice clones in the veg room and one nearly finished plant in the flower room(back right)
  3. There are 3 Blue Mistic Clones in the veg room and one nearly finished in the flower room (middle left)
  4. There are 7 La Blanca plants in the flower room (they’re the ones in the front middle that were just put in a few days ago.
  5. The little seedlings in the veg room are Lowryder 2’s. They’re being grown strictly for an outdoor seed crop being started this coming May.

Without further adieu, here’s some pics. Please comment, ask questions, or whatever. I plan on running this journal until the clones in the veg room are harvested.

By the way, does anyone else have problems with the weird lines running through the pic under their lights (I'm talking about the last pic in particular)
