The GreenCloset...perpetul harvest attempt

WhaAAATTTAP

Welcome to my first online journal. Ive always wanted to have a journal but just never did..till now. Let me introduce myself. My aka is sparki and used to work in the construction industry as a project engineer. Since the economy is going through a recession, i thought i'd grow my own medicine rather than doing nothing.

the GrowRoom is a storage closet in a garage that has been divided into two spaces to accomidate for veg and flower growth.

Dimensions: veg space- 2.5' x 3'
flower space- 3.5' x 3'
Height-7'
Lighting: veg space - 400W MH
flower space- 600W HPS

Ventelation:
intake: 4" 140CFM inline fan
exhaust: (2) 6" 70 CFM booster duct fan

Nutrients:Advanced nutrients

The GrowRoom is built on a design-build basis due to limited funding but to get growing as soon as possible. There are a few more things i have to get but ill get them based on priority.

Wish list:
600W HPS
CO2
climate controller
carbon filter with another inline fan

The GrowRoom is a basic setup that I am hoping to be able to grow a satisfying yeild. My previous grow attempts have left me unsatisfied and dissapointed really. It has been a few years since my last attempt. I have learned a lot from my previous failures and I am hopefull this time and much more confident. "3rd time the charm" is what I would like to be able to say at the end of this grow. Currently unemployed due to the economic situation so what else better to do than to grow my own medicine.

The Girls:

The first arrivals were Bananna, Sour Deisel x OG Kush, and a mystery clone. I didn't know the strain of the last one because i got too stoned at the clinic and didnt realize what i had picked since my picks were from the bottom of the barrel of the batch and my selection was purely based on checking the botton of the rockrool for roots. The other two had the name of the strain written on the rockwool wrapping thank goodness. Then a few days later their sisters have arrived, 4 afgani kush clones. they only had 4, bought 3 and the guy threw in the last runt that they had. nice guy

today is day 11 for the the sour deisel x og kush. This strain is also known as headband and will be refered to it from here on out. The mystery has been solved with the unknown clone...it apprears to be just like the headband. both clones were in flowering and have been triggered back to vegitative growth. notice the fan leaves are now starting to grow out. Due to the size restrictions of my grow space, i wanted to originally grown them with a single stalk with no topping of the plants. This unexpected flower stage of the clones have resulted in a much bushier plant than what i was intending...any suggestions?

The mvp is the bananna..now, i thought that it was a bananna kush strain but the leaves look way to narrow to be a indica...is there a bananna sativa strain that i am unaware of?

the afganis seem to be doing well on day 6...ill be transplanting them into bigger pots as soon as i get some more soil.

soil: fox farm ocean forest

Now its been a while since my last grow.....i think they are doing well...but i would appreciate any feedback from fellow cultivators.

mahalo brotha.

*update

ive been inspired to try hydro again since advanced nutrients are the bomb for hydro and i might not be getting the most use out of them with soil in terms of yield. picked up the net pot lid today along with a bucket. tomorrow i will get grow rocks from my local hydro store. only bought the net pot lid and bucket from this other store today cause the local one doesnt have them. i prefer shopping at my local store cause the owner is so cool and offers me discounts and is very helpful and kind. The store that i went today is actually a bigger well known store, but i think they have very condescending attitudes and seem like assholes.
