some autos, black jack, alaskan ice, and many more in dwc with leds and cfls

well hello, and thank you for taking the time to check out my medical grow. This is my first grow, as it were, so I'm bound to make a few mistakes(though i hope to minimize them). I will be running some autoflowers in a homemade dwc container, and everything else(except 2 seeds from bags) will go into 5 gallon buckets. The ones in the 5 gallon buckets are going to be in veg for as long as I feel like; I want to take quite a few clones and in this set up having the auto flowers here puts me in a position where I dont have to move them out while flowering as theyll run on as much light as you give them, hence theyll stay in 18/6 for their lifes. The strains Ive got goin are black jack, AMS, alaskan ice, cheesewreck, pakistani ryder, short ryder, all femmed, ruderalis indica, and 2 unknown seeds from an old choice bagt of buds...
i keep germin more and more and the garden keeps gettin bigger and bigger. I have 10 reg Ice(Nirvana) that will be here any day now, lol, and Im sure more than 1 will make it in the mix.
After I am finished with this i will be moving(pretty far not just cross town) and taking clones with me will be out of the question...which is why i want to pollinate a few clones with a choice male(and to get a few so i have a choice im probably gonna end up doing all 10 ice seeds) and get some seeds of my own making(breeding reeeeally interest me... I really wanna experiment with it more down the road....If im feeling ballsy this time I might try to make some femmed seeds with some clones so if i fuck it up no big deal, but who knows)
About the lights...I really dont want this to become an argument about leds vs hps... although I might end up getting a 400w for flowering, I received my 90w ufo and two small led panels from a friend for some herb(and as im pretty much tapped for money right now with everything else i got, this will have to do for veg...and ive done quite a bit of research and quite a few people on here use led for veg anyway)
Nutes-I am using Botanicare's line ive got pro grow(veg) and pro bloom(flower) along with calmag, liquid karma, sweet, and I have clearex for any flushes.... I also have Humboldt nutes' Oneness which is an all in one nute and will be feeding the two bagseeds with this as I've heard alot of good things about this stuff...If your reading this and u run reservoirs and multiple nutes, do u add one at a time or? And if you only do add one nute per reservoir change how often do u change the water? As its my first time growing I dont know if I am going to be chasing deficiencies the whole grow or if its better to use like progrow and maybe some sweet(molasses) and be good and add the others when I see sign of need? Any advice on this would be very helpful there has to be a way to combat the problem before it starts.
I would also like to invite anyone who wants to upload some pics of their own grow and give (friendly!) advice is more than welcome to do so.
Neway yall have a good one I still got a few things to look up and a bowl to smoke. Pics will come soon but i promise nothings being missed theyre still seedlings(but not for long!)
peace everyonebongsmilie
 
Hi Autoflowerer, I am waiting on some Blackjack being delivered so looking forward to that. Some bold moves for a first grow, I wish you all the luck with your experimenting. Will be checking in to see your progress.

Peace out, DST

I was always interested with the vertical, and yeh, I just hung the lamp a different way!!! It just makes sense to me, good reflectors give 95% of the light back down to the ground, but why bother when you can use 100% and have a bigger footprint. It's taken a while to get it sorted though. Had a few hickups along the way, but the girls are progressing again. Just got onto the seed company about my blackjack - you know that way you order something, don't get a confirmation email, and start thinking - people are raping your Credit Card (even worse when ordering seed!!!) But they said it's all good...phew.

I liked the article you posted about setting the seed record straight with the greenhouse (personally not a fav coffeeshop of mine!!!)

Im def gonna have to look into doing one of those ur right more canopy just makes more sense(prob wont get to do it with this one as space is limited). I know just wat you mean about the seed companies...dude i get scared using my credit card online period, which is why i really only like to work with legit seedbanks. who are you using if u dont mind me asking? also, I found this site that has kick ass prices, and im found nothing but good reviews(from what ive read so far) its called herbiesheadshop.com they have pretty low prices(like the lowest ive seen). Also, have you heard of elite genetics? havnt heard much at all bout them figured id ask.

and yes im glad you saw that article... while i wasnt trying to slander any companies it is not far for so many unsuspecting customers to not know the truth.(dont mean you im sure it wasnt the first time youve heard bout that shit)...ON a side note have u seen strain hunters? I ask because it basically just goes to show you in my opinion theyre all about marketing...i really dont know if theyd be as popular without all the advertising and shit.
I really think Im gonna go with mr nice seeds(even if i get them from a distributor site, buying from MNS directly can be quite expensive)
so what are you working on now? I was only able to look in your albums I saw a current grow album but dunno if ur still doin that?

I used http://www.growshopalien.com/onlineshop/

I am still waiting for the seeds I ordered Friday. We shall see. It's a first and I am not happy I done it now. May change when the seeds arrive.
I have seen the strainhunters, and I have my views:lol:. Not knocking the greenhouse, but it isn't a place I go. But they are successful for sure.
