Hey every one, hopefully through my experiment grow it will help you guys as well as me. i have done so much research on this site just wanted to give back to everyone and hopefully if i run into any problems I can turn to you as well.
here's the list........
2 400 watt MH
2 600 HPS
1 9000 BTW portable AC
2 fans.
canna cocco grow medium
canna rhizotonic
canna cocco A + B nutes
ROOM set up....
My closet is about 12ft X 10ft X 9 ft
i lined the walls with aluminum foil (later found out it's only a pain the ass to deal with white paint would have been better)
my closet has the attic cut out access. so i cut a piece of ply-wood and mounted a vent for the ac unit to blow out all the hot air......leaving room for another vent for a carbon filter l(if it really gets stinky)
by the way i live with 3 other MMJ patients so we aren't really worried about the smell since every thing is legal. hehe. love california.
i originally started with 50 seeds......25 american kush, and 25 oregon grape.......let me just say they failed.....
so i went a bought some clones, i bought a few different ones, so i don't even remember what they are...shouldnt have smoked!
anyways i started the clones 1 week no nutes, plain water. (hydro has got to be easier) watering by hand every other day while they were in the red cups is a pain in the rear.
once i saw that there was a good amount of new growth on every plant, i transplanted them into 3-4 gallon pots (which they are in now)
light cycle is 18-6......making sure light are off at the hottest part of the day since our house has no AC. the room with the AC unit stays a comfy 70-80 degs depending how hot it is.
i have been givem them nutes almost every feeding starting off slow at first but slowing upping them by the week.
Rhizotonic strted with 5 ml per gallon then up to 7ml, 10ml, 15ml, 20ml, after week 5 and thats where it stays....
the cocco A + B nutes, i started around week 3 using only 3 ml to start working my way up to 15ml of each.
Right now they get watered every other day with the exception of every 2 waterings i skip 2 days ( water monday, wednesday, friday, then not till monday) i found that it keeps me from overwatering and underwatering. i found a nice bottle that measures how much water each plant gets so i know where everyone is getting. useualy around 20-24 oz of water. depending the level of happiness i see in each plant......and let me tell you they let you know when they are sad.
I also use plain water in a seperate container since i do not wnt to spray nutes on the leaves.......but the days that i do not water....right before the lights go out, i spray all the plants down so it looked like it rained, usually not more then like 2 oz of spray.
i believe the first 2 pictures are the earliest ones that i have looks about a week after the cones were put in the room. the next 2 are 10 days older.......9-3-09/9-15-09
i'll get new pictures up later today as soon as the lights come on
