I got a 400w kit from timber vero 29. All k did was build a frame

I'm in lame ocean forest but I plan on reusing this soil. Mean while I'm building my living organic soil.
Nice!
They good man keep up the good work.

Have you done a lot of research into soil?
I would recommend Clackimus Coots formula as it's doing wonders for me

Haha ya I've been reading for what seems like forever now. I'm slowly buying all the amendments right now.

Its a simple mix : peat moss, vermiculite, ewc, amendments im going with , kelp meal, alfalfa meal, fish bone meal, oyster shell, crab meal, need seed meal.

Then with the coconut/ aloe watering sand steeped teas I should be good. Theoretically of course.

Hello Friends,

It's been a busy weekend and I finally have time to do a quick update.
I've transplanted all my plants minus one which is the mother plant which I will be doing tonight.
The reason for the delay for this plant is due to this weekend being swamped and not being able to finish setting up my 3x3 tent. (Tonight will be the final tent set up + mother transplant + Scrogco screens put on my others in 5x5 tent)

Now back to what's been done for this current update.
I've been able to get 5of6 of them transplanted. I was originally going to be doing 4 plants only in my 5x5 but I will only need one mother so I put #5 in the middle, raised up in a 10 gallon pot :) The more the merrier :)

I transplanted them on Friday morning and set up my 3x3 tent only. Today fixed up the filter, fan and ducts + 1 T5 figure and 1 more to go tonight :)

Here are some pictures.
I hope everyone had a great weekend and thank you for following along.

I will update once the mother and other text are good to go - girls are up in 30 minutes
:)

Looks great man! Keep it up. Love the all organics
Thanks I'm super pumped.
Only had all organic weed a few times and was so $$$.
This hasn't been cheap but I also tried to get an amazing setup to enjoy for years and add to but I think I will be ahead in the end considering how much I was paying my LP -- $8-10 bucks a gram plus shipping and 13% tax - no coverage = insane.

Hello Folks,

Alright so here is a point form update of what’s been done:

  • Set up my 3x3 Veg Tent which includes:
    • small clip fans X 2 (one on top of light and other blowing on mother plant)
    • Clone King 36 site machine
    • 4” intake fan with Carbon Filter (Fan sits on top of tent to free up room)
    • 3x3 Flood Tray
    • 2 x2 foot 4 bulb T5 light systems
  • Set up a 18” Fan attached to the ceiling of my 5x5 tent for air circulation and strengthening plants
  • Transplanted the mom into her 20 gallon smart pot and moved under T5’s in 3x3 tent
  • installed 4x Scrogco Screens and trained plants in Flower Tent
  • Since I have extra plant I tied it down to the itself to replicate the screen formation
  • Lollipopped all my plants (first time)
    • took clones for my first time and had 4 good looking ones that are now in my Clone King 36
  • Watered Plants with Barley SST a few days ago and watered again regular water last night
  • Have some soil cooking left over that I need to water
That is everything up to date.

Tomorrow is going to mark Week 7 since they broke through the soil and I am going to flip the switch and add the other 6 Cobs to the equation 3,000K lights and get this party started into Flower Power!

Flower time is 9 weeks on average and I am planning for 10 weeks in case.

This will leave me 4.5 weeks to Harvest, Dry, Trim, Cure so I can bring it with me on my trip to BC and Alberta!!!!!!

I will leave my mother Veg until I get back (have a friend water her 2-3 times a week while away) then I will be taking clones off of her for a SOG - 15 plant grow for faster harvest and to start a new strain :)

I’ve added some pictures of my clones, plants in screens and tied down and my mother plant under the T5.

One thing to note if ordering a 3x3 flood tray for a 3x3 tent it’s actually 41 inches when you equate for the lip and edge of it…. fun times… I had to cut this hard plastic off and then sand down the edges and now it’s in there! :)

If you have any questions or want any other pictures please let me know.

Have a great day everyone!
(sorry tried to condense)

Thought it was time for a quick update.
today at 5pm will mark officially 7 days of all 12 cobs light and 12/12 lighting.

Small hairs starting to show however two days ago i trimmed everything that was in the shade under the screen which was quite a lot.

From just pruning under the screen I was able to make 14 clones from it - see pictures (this is second attempt doing this ever and first time i didn't do it right so looking forward to this round)

I have added since last post:

  • Soil Inoculant
  • Red Wigglers
  • 12/12 lighting
  • All 12 Cobs on

What's new coming up?

  • letting plants grow now, no more training unless fan leafs to push under.
  • Starting new herb tea for flowering which will include
    • Bat Guano, Kelp/alfalfa/crab meal, humic acid, EWC, molasses
  • Adding a top cover to 20 gallon mother which has several types of clover, fenugreek, peas, buckwheat etc...
    • Will be adding seeding for this so it's growing naturally to provide and control nutrient uptake :)
  • Continued pruning under screen and supporting top cola's if needed
  • Blue corn SST to be rotated with Alfalfa SST a few times in flower
  • Debating about buying some Vero18 1750k LED's to add to my current set up and also thinking about adding one more rail for a total of 16 cobs and 4 rails.

Thank you to everyone who has been following along.
The girls are getting big and every day!!

Heard week 3 and week 8 are magical in flower so starting week 2 and I already feel like it's magical :)

Enjoying the growing life!!
Have a great Friday everyone!

Well looks like you need bigger screens. But that's a good problem to have lol. They look very healthy. Looks really good for your first grow. Keep up the good work. I'll be checking in. Waiting on that bud porn. Lol.

Stay green n stay high:leaf:

Sorry to those that are actually following along, it's been awhile as I've been busy with plants, life and work :)

It's day 23 of flower and I am done training them under the screen.
Everything was even however there is one plant where the main branches took off so they are about 5 inches higher than the rest.
I know I am to have a completely even Canopy but there is no other way to get it to do this at this time and it's only a few tops so I will just try and make sure they don't case too much shadow on the areas below.

I've been following a:
Water/Water/Tea/Water/Water/Tea/Water/Water/SST -- type of watering cycle.

My teas are in a previous post but now include Bat Guano to help with flowering as it's Phosphorus heavy.
(Molasses/kelpmeal/crabmeal/alfalfameal/EWC/RockDust/HumicAcid/BatGuano)

They have been trimmed and pruned and I could probably take off a bit more but I am going to leave it as I've been doing a few days and one big day so I don't want to stress them anymore.
I've never cloned before so when I was pruning I ended up with 19 clones in my Clone King which are coming along nicely :) - pictures attached.

I will end up with some smaller buds below but this is my first grow and I wanted to see how everything grows and how I can learn to prune and trim for next go around.

My mother plant has been tied down now as she was getting too big and she has till August 15th till I take clones from her for my next cycle :)

Well I think that is everything.
Here are some pictures.

Have a wonderful day everyone and thank you for following along!

Hello Everyone,

It’s been quite a while since I have made a post so I thought it was due and I finally have time.

I am on day 43 of flowering.
- Says it should be 9 weeks but I am allowing for 10 weeks so I am 43/70 days.

I will try and keep this organized:

Watering schedule is every second day about 10 gallons of water and goes as follows:
(Water, Water, Tea, Water, Water, Tea ---- etc…..)
- Also been adding in a soil inoculant every 3rd week where I sprinkle it on the top of the soil and then water
- Other than that added a top layer of Shrimp Compost/Mushroom Compost and EWC

I’ve added 8 new lights to my array – 1750k spectrum which is supposed to replicate the sunrise and sunset which is supposed to save a week off flowering and increase bud size by 30% (we shall see).
- This light is set to come up 20 minutes before my normal lights an stay on 20 minutes longer.

I have too many pictures to add so I will do my best to try and have a mix of:
- Tops views scrogs
- New lights
- Clones I made for fun as first time and wanted to practice (off trimming SCROG)
- Buds
With my normal lights I had the intensity at 7/11 and for the last 3 weeks of flowering I have them ramped up to 9.5/11

Besides that to those who are following know that I am growing a mother plant in another tent so that I can take clones for my next cycle of SOG ---- want to try all different types of grows – so excited.
- I have added a photo of the mother as well which is getting quite big!!!! I ended up watering and waking up to half the plant bending and snapping down the main stem into the soil in half… however a little string and duct tape and she has all new life – amazing how resilient these girls are J

Well that is all for now, I hope everyone enjoyed the update and I will try and stay on top of things J

All the best!!!!!!!
