Its alot of work and was pretty expensive to get up and running, no cheep n easy way out for me, thats for sure. I had a slight ph problem right in the beginning, but its all in check now. I started most all of them between 11/01 and 11/27 The big autos are around 3 weeks old, and the small about 1 week old. The regular's are about 5 weeks old. I ended up with about 25 males (that are not in the pics)of deep purple, heavy duty fruity, white russian, and 6 wappa auto males from paradise seeds that were supposedly fem?? Im using roots organics grow and bloom, fox farm grow and bloom, bat shit and a few other special recipes ive come up with over the years.
12/11 the autos are already starting to bud

They are coming right along. I have been putting a lot of time in as you can see. Some are going to be picky feeders, and some of the autos are growing almost 2" a day. the regulars are branching out nice. So many types to chose from here!! I love multi strain grows, my garden is always changing. It gets tricky with some strains but I feed them on an individual, as needed basis. I will finish the journal in the next post, hope you all enjoy!!

Nice group of green you got there...

So its now the 8th of jan. Almost 60 days since I started the autos and here they are at about 50-55 days from seed!!still a few that are just starting to flower, the sativa dominate phenos.
the pics came out blurry, but I will get some more tomorrow!!

The regular's are about 1.5-2.5 ft tall. some are cranking!! a few cal/mag deficiencies came up after I couldnt water them for 3-4 days during christmas. they are deffinatly doing good now though. I have been going through about 10-15 gallons of water a day, they are drinking it up!!

This is a pic of the soil in one of my pots, you can see the fuzzy mycelium growing off the soil, good stuff there!!
Here they are, home for the night untill I get my other hoods vented and the autos under them. Im going to try and wait another week before the 12/12 flip.

Damn man sea of green going on!
Rep +
Are all of them 55-60 days old? or just you're autos?
Happy growing!

well, still working on getting all the ducting set up. I have used about 1.5 big bails of pro mix in the last 2 or 3 days, And transplanted about 45 of the regular plants. The autos are getting sticky and gooey. Took a few quick pics, the battery in my camera is almost dead and I left the charger in the damn penthouse in new york. Ill have to get to best buy to pick up a new one.

1/12
Sacrificed in the name of seeds!!
These few are in 32 oz cups and still have good size premature buds on them.

Most of the autos still have anywhere from 2-3 weeks untill harvest. I have cut about 8 of them so far and they are drying.

Going to bust ass on getting the holes for the vents cut, fixtures in place and a few other things set up on sunday.

Lookin good bro!

Nice man looking nice! I hope to have my box done soon, i finished making it last week and just now finished staining it. Should have the fans and lighting in this week. But nothing special.. Just a 250w cfl and some 2ft t5s not sure on what wattage yet. and lots of scroging! but can't wait to see the finished product of the drying buds

Nice! What are your watering cycles?

Im going thru about 10-15 gal per day. And I have to collect rain water. Its a lot of work just getting water alone. its all good tho. I knew it was going to be alot of work. Im ready to start seeing huge buds everwhere!

Lol i go through a gallon every other day i should start collecting rain drops.. let me ask you in order to get at least
2 to 3 oz of one plant how tall do they have to be be brfore i can start flowering?

yea that is lots of work i can imagine. especially if your mixing nutes seperate for each variety, or slightly for some anyhow.

i just bought two rain catching barrells to try useing rain water myself. it's frozen good here so i must wait till spring now but looking foreward to having it. i just recently moved and went from good water to realy hard water and my first grow with it has suffered. rain would surely be better.
i was going to set them up to catch the rain from my roof. is that how your collecting yours? just curious as i wasn't to certain if running of my roof wouldn't change it in any way?

anyway your grow is looking nice and healthy, props!

i thought about collecting rain water but i stay by/live by an airport and i dont know the air soo great.. should i still collect it.?

well it was frozen here to, I actually filled totes of snow brought them inside next to the furnace and they would be 1/2 full of water in a couple days. But all the ice and rain we just got.... I filled every single jug, bucket, tote.. lol I have about 175 gallons stocked up, my girl thinks its a little funny but my plants think its grrreat!! I told the neighbors I was getting ready in case we lost power so we could still flush the toilet and water the animals. I try to lug all the water in, in the middle of the night, 2-3am. And yea I just catch the run off the roof. sometimes its really acidic and will have a ph of like 5-5.5 but somehow its 6.6 right now.... spot on!! If your using shit water you will have shit plants. Use rain/lake/pond water and your plants will thank you!! I need a few of those 55gal rain barrels myself.

As far as nutes, I trans plant everything every 2 weeks to start with, mix in a shit ton of mycos/azos too. I feed all of them a standard dose once a week. There are some which need nutes every 2 days, friesian dew, white russian, heavy duty fruity, and few more. I really feed them by the way they look, the second they get a bit lite green, Ill give em a full nute selection of macro and micro nutes. Some strains like the delahaze, NL x BB, lost coast hash, dont need much at all, Ive only fed them like 3-4 times and they are the darkest green they can be. Its worth the little bit of extra time to have a good selection when it comes harvest time. Im actually going to select 5 mothers from all of the new strains, cross them with my fav. outdoor strains, and vice versa. I also have a small room for my males far away from the big room. Im going to put the collod. silver to a few of the females and use the pollen on my strains.

what part of the NE are you from?

@mothernatureg well it depends on strain first. some strains will only give you2-3 oz with a 4month veg and hours of training. But others will give you 8-12oz with the same 4 month veg and training. If you have a good strain to get at least 2-3 oz I would say 2-3ft tall/ and or top it and train out the branches for a bigger harvest of smaller buds. (ime) Once you cut the top, you will not get the khola, you will get smaller kholas instead.
