This is my first grow journal and I'm getting a late start on it. Currently I'm growing 5 Big Buddha blue cheese, 3 Seedsman White widow, and a free G13 Pure gold that I got with my order. All seeds were feminized.
My flowering space is 4'x4'x6' box that I built in one of my spare bedrooms. Looking back I would have gone bigger since I have the space, but the area now is good enough to supply my girl and myself, oh and my parents too
I have a veg/mom/clone area that is in the closet in that room. It's about 2'x4'x4', it's a pretty sloppy area, but I plan on rebuilding it a little better when win the lottery. My light is a 600w hps/mh with a digi balast and 4" air cooled hood that I got on ebay for $160! It was an auction that was mislabled that I found. I have a squirrel fan attached to my light via 4" dryer hose to cool the light. My carbon scrubber is the 6"inline fan/filter combo that I got off HTG, I will be hooking it up to my light, but I haven't had a chance to go to the hardware store since I received the fan/filter.
The soil I am using is FFOF with a 25% perlite mix for drainage. My nutes during veg were BMO veg nutes left over from the last grow. For flowering I decided to use FF nutes(Tiger bloom, big bloom, and chaching) just so I can compare and see what I like better. Tap water is my only source of water, so I let it sit out a day before I use it. I unfortunately have had ph issues with it, but don't have mula for a RO unit yet.
Ok, so as I said earlier, I got a late start making this journal. As of today 8/05/09, the plants are 26 days into flowering. So a quick recap of what happened up to now. I germ'd using jiffy pellets in a humidity dome. Veg'd them under 6 42 watt daytime CFLs until they were 14-18 inches. At about the 6th node or so they were topped. Then came 12/12. Buds started forming, I started have good dreams, and all is well. Here is some of my quick thoughts on each strain:
Blue Cheese: Very strechy(compared to what I'm used to), all but one grew about 2.5 to 3 times their height. So 34-50 inches. Buds are forming a little slower then the other strains, but they have very good alternating growth and should harvest a bunch. It will just be a week or two behind.
White Widow: Holy Crap!! I love my WWs. They are good height, they didn't stretch too much. I topped the plants once and it looks like I'm just going to have branches full of long, white, colas
Pure Gold: I'm very happy with this strain. It's growing like a typical indica, but it has more trichs then any other plant. Yes, even my white widows. It is a little smaller, due to pot sizes in early growth the plant was put into flower a little smaller then the others and it was not topped.
Here is some pics of everything.
