12 Plants; ancestory unknown. (a sativa, I believe, really heady high)
soil; unknown. started with large gravel in the bottom of the pot, then a screen, like for a screen door, then a sandy, silty or clay like soil...I can see some iron pyrite like flakes, some crispy green flakes and a few whitish little balls.
nuts; unknown, except that there are some added to the soil, so, I'm not adding any.
lights; unknown, 3 of them, 12 watts each, I think they're cfls (there is one bulb shown in one of the pics), suspended on one meter cables from the ceiling, adjustable in length from ceiling and distance from each other. at present, 24/7-I can touch a bulb without getting burned or feel much hotter than holding a womans hand!
grow room; a 4 tatami room, one tatami is about 170cmx80cm. anyway, the room is about 6x10ft. 8 ft high, you do the math, its small, probably closet size for most of you.
temp/humidity; 30 degrees celcius, 40%, constantly. I expect both to drop during flowering as fan/heater are on one timer and lights are on another.
I'll turn the fan/heater off then as need, but expect to use them often still during the night cycle as it will be december then.
I have a circulation fan, which is on only when the heater is on, its a small ceramic heater, no intake or exhaust fans. the door/s of this room match its width, @6ft/1.7m. I work from home and go in/out of the room many times a day/night, so get plenty of air exchange. I use a timer, exactly like most of you probably have, 24 hr w/ all those little switches.
before all of you jump me for so many unknowns, I live in a country where I'm illiterate, and only have a rudimentary understanding of the language. so, getting assistance from any1 would only compromise secrecy. I do the best I can. also, purchasing seeds is out of the question, customs is really tough here. buying smoke is difficult, rare and quite expensive, about 50 to 60 USD per gram, for something would cost me about $20 per 1/8 oz back home. I just spent about 3k, USD, for 30g(@1oz) a while back, didn't last long and I won't have any more until harvest due to availability!
so, everything started out well, for the first 5wks or so, then disaster, I germinated 25 seeds, 18 started and grew, then 6 died, smoked em. discovered I was overwatering and lights were too high and wasn't going with 'sea of green'. sorted all that out, looking good, again, topping each one at 56cm/22in, several have yet to reach that height, in the 9th wk. I am hoping to harvest by 16 wks, before xmas. I planted around the beginning of the 3rd week in August. about the time I spent all that $ for an oz.
been reading about the co2, decided to go with just under 2 litters water. a cup of sugar, and a few squirts of my own piss. yes, my own piss! takes a few days to activate, but its working fine. there is literally no odor in the beginning, slight odor after about 8 days. smells like very sour lemonade. I could see a dramatic improvement, much fuller and greener. nothing special, 2 litter bottle, (if you use a ginger ale bottle, it will still look like there is ginger ale in it, lol) water, sugar, pee (a few cc's). no cap, no tubes, no heat, no yeast, shaken (with cap on!), set on the growing table. it will be a clear, ginger color at first, nearly odorless, then turn a cloudy white, thats when it will start to have an odor, as I described above. only thing I'm worried about is earthquakes, there are a lot of em here.
time of usefullness, unknown, lol. I started a second one just now and I'll flush the first one in 2 wks or when/if the odor gets too strong, so I'll always have 2 going. I'm not worried about the settling as the fan should always keep it mixed.
cost; whatever sugar costs! and I seldom use it anyway
total cost; about 100 USD! cheap! I opted for low cost, as there are so many unknowns in my grow system
sorry, there are no pics of the unhealthy, dying plants. I couldn't bear it! they did smoke well though. a real intellectual high, not a stupid or lazy high.
P.S. the photos are progressive
