Happy New Year RIU, want to send a personal big up to everyone out there growing their own or aspiring to do so. And a sincere thank you to the organic growers. I'm attempting to journal a vegan organic indoor grow, even though my follow thru has been lacking in the past. But here it goes.
New Years Day 2011 - Day 1
I was blessed with 24 Green Crack cuttings. Also known as Lilikoi around here, I believe. The cuts (note: clone is the wrong term) were not looking so hot and were suffering from obvious overwatering. My cuts come in soil, something I value. Hence the possibility for overwatering. No rockwool allowed in my garden these days. 20 of the cuts were in soil starters, four were is oasis. All were planted in 1x1 pots of soil before Jah blessed me with them.
Here is the cuts as Jah gifted them to me:
Here is the veg tent:
Here is the transplant set-up:
Then the girls get some much needed light and love:
They are already perking up, except for the one in the back right corner. That one may get composted.
The media is BioTerra Plus with about 10% grade 3 perlite (fox farm big n chunky). I mixed in some "root web" from the bountea brew kit as an additional inoculant. I wet the media with carbon filtered tap water that sits out at room temp for a day or two.
I want to point something out about Root Web. Root Web from Bountea is basically the same thing as any of the other inoculants (myco madness, great white, plant success, AN's tarantula & pirana, sub-culuture). There is a list of a bunch of endomyco, some bacteria, and a couple trichoderma. The usual suspects including a bunch of Glomus species.
BUT root web, unlike the other products, claims their inoculant only needs to be used once, at the start of growing. The other inoculants say they should be used continually. Why the different directions from basically the same product? IMVHO the directions on root web are for true soil, outside. And the other inoculants are labeled for hydro and soil-less media.

But that is hella long so I'm going to lay it all out here. I've been working with Kyle Kushman on developing indoor vegan organics. This will be my fifth round of veganics, and I am going as simple and inexpensive as possible.
My veg room is a tent turned on its side, with an 8-bank of T-5s. I have on a thermostat to cool when heat builds up in there. Ill add a circulation fan when the plants are better rooted. Right now they are recovering from a week overwatered and under lit (went home for xmas and babies were ready).
I run BioCanna nutes (vega, flores, bioboost, cannazyme, and rhizotonic). With a good amount of organic molasses and compost tea. I also use way too many other products, that I am going to cut out and/or use as little as possible.
My garden closet also includes:
Humic acid (liquid form)
Fulivc acid (huvega, also Magnesium Sulfate)
Nature's Nectar N (soy)
Humbolt Nutes 0-10-0 Natural Bloom (soft rock phosphate based)
Technaflora soluble seaweed 1-1-16 (good micronutes too)
Wet Betty organic (lol at the label)
Hygrozyme
Myco madness, white widow, great white, myan microzyme
Calcium - liquid
Epsom salt (for Mg and Sulfur)
Thrive Alive, green label. 1-1-1
As for prep. I'll be posting about specific techniques. At this age, and state, I'll predict I can start giving "chiropractic treatments" in two weeks, which I will attempt to document. It will be easier to show when they are larger. I twist the main stem between nodes to "pop" the inside of the plant, a knuckle forms if you do it right.
This leads to my medical grow room and the Green Crack. The room is 7 ft tall and I grow in pots on trays raised about a foot. I have to keep my sativas SHORT, which is no problem if I keep up on the breaking and bending. The damage does slow down growth, and is stress, but I do it for all sativa varieties. Not so much for naturally bushy plants, I usually grow Kushes. Indicas are the opposite, and I tend to encourage certain parts to stretch.
grow along, lol
Are you saying they are using T-5 alone to flower? That's a 'serious scrog' if you ask me

I have a giant thread here about how I grow specifically.

grow along, lolYes, an 8 light fixture, it is pictured second. T-5 for veg is great IMO. Less heat issues, nice broad growth. If you look closely you will see the T-5 fixture is on springs, just something I've been wanting to test... earthquake proofing the garden.
