the equipment

i have
- 1 4x4x6 mylar grow tent
- 2 400 watt MH / HPS
- 1 t 5 flouresent with 6 4 foot long horticultural bulbs
- 10 ice plant seeds from nirvana shop
- 10 5 gallon grow bags
- good organic soil with lime and root stimulating co op fungus
- the proper nutes
- as of yesterday a PPM meter to get it right the first time
- a bunch of rock wool cubes / cloning gell
- 8 10 gallon tubs with 4 tops fitted with 6 net cups on top with hydroton

I am currently at the stage where i have 10 plants 3 1/2 weeks old ( some are only 3 weeks they popped late ) in soil in their own grow bag. i have seperated out 2 clear pheno types one is short and bushy where the other shot up fast and is now becoming bushyer. I am planning on starting them flowering when they are around 1 foot tall and once i have them sexed move the 2 healthyest females out with my flouresent in a different grow tent turning them into mothers ( so basicly FIM toping them and trying to make them bush out a bunch ) then leave all the other females in the 4X4X6 grow tent with the 2 400 watt HPS lights ( killing the males obviously ) and alowing them to continue flowering once the mothers are an acceptable size i will start cloning to make a hydro SOG cutting 10 clones off a mother ( rotating which mother i cut them off of and rotating new mothers in every 2 months or so ) and having them under the same T5 flouresent 24 hour light in rock wool cubes set in a dixy cup full of damp soil with a plastic bag with a hole cut in it over the top. then keeping the 6 healthyest clones after 2 weeks washing the dirt off the rock wool then putting them into the tubs with the net cup tops and hydroton + nute mix. Then popping them right into flowering rinse and repeat and soon i should have plants in every stage of flowering and a harvest of 6 huge 3/4 oz + buds every 2 weeks i have 8 tubs 4 in use to make it easyer. because mixing the nutes in a free tub then transfering the top over as opposed to finding a safe place to set the plants with their roots hanging down while u try to hap hazardly mix in the one container, the extra containers also make it easyer to keep the salt build up from accumulating ( learned this leason from my first hydro grow )

the pictures are my soil set up now pre SOG

so tell me what you guys think and help me out if you see flaws in my 4th grow or ways to improve on it i'm done learning from my mistakes help me learn from yours


i also forgot to mention I have 5 jack herrer plants around the same size as those ice plants i got the seeds in toronto from sacred seeds while i was their and they are growing at my brothers house. I plan to cross breed the ice and jack herrer plants so i'm saving the strongest male from each, to harvest pollin off of then trying to cross breed with some of the left over clones then breed their off spring ect ect ( it will be a small gene pool probley 25 to 30 plants in each cross hopefull i can make a stable f1 hybrid and coin it Jack on the Rocks ( jack danniels single barrel on the rocks is my favorite drink and jack herrer and ice are my favorite kinds of cannibis so what are your guys thoughts on this ) also when the deed is done i will post a grow journal on here about the cross breed and all the generations and if all goes well MAYBE give out some seeds to some of the better growers on here shipped clearly with no return adress but thats WAY to far in the future

i am a pathological liar this is clearly all lies, that is untill i get back to a state where it's is leagle again :blsmoke:
