This the first time grow log of someone I know who is in process of getting MMJ card. The plan is to have a mixture of mothers in a veg room while also vegging clones, and then have flower room that has something ready to harvest every month. More strains the better.
the emily's garden system seemed like such a good deal that 3 of them were purchased. only 2 are in use at the moment. every week or so something about the set up has changed but this is a written snapshot.
flower room - approx. 3x3 closet
1 x 300watt LED hanging on chains - gives a predominately pink/red light
3 x 15watt LED panels on the wall - gives mainly blue light
1 x emily's garden
1 x space heater when needed
1 x fan
1 x radio shack weather station remote temperature sensor
veg / clone / germ room - one part of a sliding door closet
1 x 50watt LED - gives a predominately pink/red light
1 x 15watt LED - gives mainly blue light
1 x emily's garden
1 x germination station with heat mat
4 Bagseed were germinated in Dec 09' with paper towel it took a week for some to pop. This was before germination station was purchased. Its from a mix of bagseeds collected over past 10 years or so, but theres a good chance at least one is 'Noma Coma. They were immediately put into rockwool cubes and into the emily's garden with 1/4 nute strength. Rinsing of the hydroton clay balls was forgotten and the res. has some sediment but hasn't been a problem.
Replaced with half strength nutes two weeks later. The slowest growing plant was removed for newbie reasons.
Plants were topped after the first set of 5 leafed leaves.
Another two weeks and it was full veg nutes for a month.
A germination station was purchased to start clones. after many ruined clones, it was learned that you cannot put a 15watt LED panel directly on the dome, even though LED produce almost no heat, it is enough to alter the humidity ( dry the hair ) above the clones and they will all die. Propping the LED up on the side of the station was enough to remedy the situation and changed clone rate to 100%.
About 2 months from seed and 12/12 was started, eventually leading to preflowering nutes in use currently after a month of 12/12 when pistils were showing. full flowering nutes seem too strong until there are actually full buds.
Also a bunch more seeds were germinated and were 12/12 from seed for about 2 weeks. Not liking the results of 12/12 from seed another emilys garden system was purchased and the seedlings were put into a 24/0 cycle.
I'll post all pictures of the grow in the next update.
So currently there is a flower room with 3 females starting to flower and about 2.5 feet tall and also 3 other plants who only got 1 week of 24/0 veg and haven't shown sex yet while being 12/12 for a month. temp stays at around 75 and humidity at 50%.
And the veg room with a germination station having clones from the females, and recently germinated 1 nirvana eldorado, 1 nirvana wonder woman, 3 nirvana freebies in rockwool. It also has the seedlings that were 12/12 from seed for about 2 weeks and now are under 24/0 in the emily's garden, along with fresh seedlings, all bagseed.
There's also 5 plants ( including a cloned fan leaf ) in a tub of soil mixed with some hydroton, also with 3 green onions for kicks. These are being grown near a window and placed outside when possible. Had too many plants and didn't want to kill them so just tossed them in there.
In some of the emily's garden 6" pots there were 4 seedlings put in the corners of one pot. Maybe it will work with no problems but its an experiment. A serious push of the limits of this 2 gallon SWC system.
Its crazy how much of a different indica grows than sativa and has been very interesting thing to watch and study.
