Back on the farm...

Hi everyone, I used to grow about 25 years ago in with a MegaGarden that I used Promix (instead of the clay) in larger pots (1/2 Gal I think) under a 400 Watt HPS. It was before there was all this online help so I read and reread the Indoor Growers Guide (thanks Ed!). I had low yields that I would harvest about 2 weeks too early and dry on a food dehydrator, Ok genetics thanks to a friend. My o my things have changed, but I was happy.

I just started to get back into growing after a few years of growing Mushrooms and upgraded quite a bit from when I was a kid. My Veg room is a small bathroom that I have 4 T5 tubes plus a 150 Watt Chinese LED and a 45 Watt Chinese LED, (the LEDs kind of suck but I am too cheap to stop using equipment). My flower room is 8x5 with 2 1000 Watt HPS (currently running at 75%), 2 of them 150 Watt LEDs and one of the 45 watt LEDs as side lights. I also have a far Red light (I think it is about 45 Watts) in the middle. I do a 13/11 light cycle and grow in 5 Gal buckets filled with coir. My current nutes are GH with AN Overdrive at the end of flower.

Eventually I will get around to posting a grow journal or two but right now I don't have the time. My current strains are Green Crack (from Crop King-highly recomended), Dwarf Low Ryder, Super Skunk, Incredible Bulk, Bubble Gum, Auto Speed Bud, a cross of my own (mostly Skunk) I am currently calling it Child Support, and Cheese.

I have been doing okay with yield, still have not met that 1gm per watt goal but doing over 1/2 g per watt with every crop (I don't count the LED wattage).

BTW SallyGram is my dog, she is a Chihuahua that likes to help me garden by pruning everything :(
