Multi Strain Medicinal Perpetual Grow

Hello all. Ive tried postin grow journals before but i must say i probably did it wrong. I will attempt again. I currently have well, a lot of strains. I am currently growing Alaskan Thunderfuck, AK-47, Big Bud, Jack The Ripper, Pandoras Box, Grape Ice, Maui, Kona Gold, Sour Grape, Train Wreck, Zatanna, Sage, God, Godzilla, Kasey Jones, Chocolate Thai, Thai, Profit x AK, Bubblegum, Blueberry x Big Bud, Jah Kush, Jack Herer, Waipi O'hapa, Cali Mist, Hindu Purps, and Island Star. Not all of these are in bloom, but i have bloomed quite a few with pretty god results.
As far as equipment goes, I run 5200W of light in my 12x12x10 bloom room.4200W comes from 3 1000W Lumatek digital ballasts, and 2 600W Lumatek digital ballasts. The other 1000W is from a Sunleaves magnetic ballast which is going to get upgraded soon. All lights are in aircooled hoods, 3 rows of 2. Two of those rows are hooked to ducting with exhaust fans on them. One is a 795 cfm, the other a 650 cfm. the other row of lights isnt hooked to ducting, as it helps to heat the room in these winter months. I have two box fans and an oscilating fan blowing in the room for in room air circulation. I would like to get at least two more box fans and another oscilating fan. I do not have an air intake, im workin on that. I have a large dehumidifier that pulls about 2 gallons of water out of the air every 3 days or so. Got it for 5 bucks at a yard sale. SCORE!! I also have a heater to add supplemental heat, and the heater is on a thermostat, as are the exhaust fans. overall temp stays between 67 and 77, with relative humidity staying around 30%.
With my nutes, I use Humboldt Ginormous, Flavorful and Honey ES. I supplement with Humboldt Countys Own Gravity and Snowstorm Ultra. I also amend my dirt which in bloom is Fox Farm Ocean Forest with the Sunleaves International House of Guano Package. I dont use the high nitrogen guanos until about 4 weeks into bloom, and I only add them twice. Once when they first go in, and once about 4 weeks in like I said. I also use Humboldt Countys Own Bushmaster to help transition into bloom. Around 2 weeks before harvest I begin flushing with Humboldt Royal Flush, and then i water with plain water from then till harvest. Here's a few pics of my bloom room.

Now for my veg. In veg I run with 5 8-bar four foot T-5 flourescent fixtures and one 125W cfl in a batwing style hood. These lights are on a 24/0 photoperiod. The room that these plants are in is just a temporary soft room, about 10x10x8. The walls are comprised of black plastic just to attest to its temporay status. I have 4 fans for circulation in here, two of which are dual fans, so its like I have 6. In this room I have a bunch of plants, of the aforementioned strains. For nutrients in here I use Lilly Miller Brand Alaskan Fish Emulsions, and Humboldt Flavorful, and occasionally Superthrive. I only use this combination probably every other, or every third watering. I use Happy Frog for the soil in veg and I amend that with a little of the Sunleaves International House of Guano package every transplant and varying amounts. I usually get my clones in a dixie cup or something of that size(unless i cut it myself), and ill transplant from that to my starting pot, which is a bit bigger. After about two, three weeks in there, Ill transplant to a #5 pot, and then to a seven gallon pot about a week before it goes to bloom. If I can help it, I dont veg for longer than a month, though sometimes it goes til about the 8 week mark. It just depends. I only have a limited amount of room in my bloom, and I try to put in plants every 2 weeks, at least 3. My last bloom group was six though and ive done 4 at a time as well. Here are some pics. They are various arrangements, and some pics are a little older, but some are current. the uploader here doesnt exactly put the files in the order you want ever.

Okey dokey. heres an update. Ive just been busy as hell runnin around the last few days. Couple of updates since the last post. I have cut down 3 sour grapes, and one maui wowie since then as well as a shit ton of transplanting and cloning. I did quite the extensive long overdue cleaning of my bloom room as well as rehanging of some mylar and the fabrication of a water reservoir to let my water aerate before use. here are some updated pics.

Wow man thats an amazing setup for sure! How is that sour grape? I've been wanting to try some of that for awhile now.

I like the strain as a smoker but as a grower I would call it more of a connieseur crop as opposed to cash crop. Its really kinda fickle. Its nutrient sensitive and doesnt have a high yield. But the smell and flavor as well as the high are amazing. Its also a quick finisher, like 8 weeks.

These are taken at 3 weeks into bloom. Veg time was around 6 weeks except for the jack which vegged for 8 because of my chaos factor.

Heres an update as promised. Bloom room pics feature the S.A.G.E., Jack Herer, Kona Gold, and Godzilla. Other plants seen in larger view of bloom are Grape Ice, Trainwreck, Sour Grape. In the veg area, clones are Big Bud, Alaskan Thunderfuck, Grape Ice, Pandora's Box, Jack the Ripper, Godzilla, God, Kona Gold, Chocolate Thai, and Blueberry. I have seedlings of Waipi O'hapa and Kali Mist and one Hindu Purp. Yet to sex, although I applied a little bit of high K nute to it the seedlings to help sprout the sex. Im hopin anyway.

it will be. My chaos factor keeps tryin to rush it, but i wont let that happen. Its all framed, insulated and drywalled, but i got screwed by my homie on the electrical so its gonna cost me a bit to get that up and running. It sucks, but then itll give me a second to get it set straight. No more soft room. Idk if you can see the black plastic walls currently in my veg, but yeah, not so secure...

All right, well im cutting down 2/3 plants today. I say 2/3 because its 2 pots but 3 plants. 2 trainwrecks and my last sour grape. 2 plants are in one pot because of my chaos factor. Maybe Ill put up some bud porn later today.
