Hi everybody. I'm IQ. I encourage you to find my music on ITunes and a million other places. http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/IQ/375242939384 Actually, here's an easy way to find it. Just click the link.
So... I bought this badass superlocker. www.supercloset.com
I wanted to make sure to skip a few stages of the learning curve, and just get something that is already designed to produce the dank.
I got a loan from 1800 Loan Mart so I could afford it. Payments are $259/month, but I was smoking $800-$1000 per month of weed, so it seems like a great deal. But, considering my new financial situation(adding that new bill +more electricity), I needed herb fast. I actually ordered all of the cannabis cup winning seeds from Attitude seed bank, and they arrived here the same day as the locker(good sign from God?), but I started picking up some clones from stores around here. So basically what I'm getting at is that my timing is all off right now, but will be mostly corrected by the time these Attitude seeds finish.
The attitude seeds are germinating.
The clones are all at different stages. (which will probably be a pain, and some are going to either have to start flowering early, or late. I choose early, so the plants don't have one big one hitting the light and blocking it.)
Basically here is the chronology.
day 21 - seeds and locker arrive
day 22 - locker is set up. 4 seeds are germinating. I don't know shit at this point, except youtube videos on how to germinate. I was in a hurry, so as soon as some roots started showing, I transplanted them into rockwool cubes. I think I did it too early. I also had the ph drop tester, so I think the ph fluctuated too much. Also, I USE ZERO WATER. The instructions said to start off with your ppm at 300-600. They also said they like to add a teaspoon of grow. Tap water was already over 300 ppm. Arrowhead bottled water was at 132 ppm. I used zero water, and had to add in 2 teaspoons to get the ppm above 300. Well that burned the shit out of the leaves of the one that did grow(Morning Glory). But even that one was stunted, like the rest of them. The Jack Herer is a goner I think. The Hawaiian Snow and Super Lemon Haze seem to be recovering, but it looks like they are at 1 week even though it's been 1 month. But they have some nice green stems bursting out of the old dried ones, except the Jack Herer. He is still buried in the rockwool and is probably dead. I'll check in a week. RIP Jack Herer.
But around
day 24 - I picked up 2 bubblegum clones, then
day 27 - friend brought over a Blue Dream clone
day 32 - I picked up a skywalker/mars clone
day whatever. probably 40 or so - I moved the clones to the flowering chamber, and also moved the Morning Glory. Unfortunately the Morning Glory looks like it's about 2 weeks in, and the other plants look like 5 weeks. They are all in the same chamber, so I just decided last night to switch to 12 on/12 off. So it will be interesting to see what heppens to a plant that starts 12on/12 off so early.
So last night, I switched to 12on/12off, and started germinating 4 new seeds(Arjan's Ultra Haze #1, Sweet Tooth, White Widow, Amnesia Lemon) in rockwool cubes. I'm not even checking them for 7 days. When roots are coming out of the bottom, the other plants will be 7-10 days into flowering, and the timing should be good.
The clones are growing amazing. With the zero water, ph meter, and ppm at the right levels, they are loving their enviroment. Plus no bugs can get into that locker(I hope), and the airflow is supreme.
I got a lot of grow videos. I recommend watching the marijuana channel on www.veetle.com
I ended up finding torrents of most of the videos, but the channel is great.
Eventually, I want to get a lot of these lockers, and only grow 1 or 2 plants per locker, and have another locker for vegetation with the shelf in the center(and the shelves removed from the flowering lockers so the plants can get bigger. Right now there's only room for plants to grow to 3.5 ft. There is a trellis, but when I used it, the thick Blue Dream stem waas hard to bend and seemed like it might break. Plus I don't want all of these weird looking bent plants that get no light under the dense foliage.
Anyway, if anyone actually reads this, I'll make sure to put up pics tonight. I don't want to open the door right now since they are on their first 12 hour dark cycle.
The plants look amazing though! And the odor control is great. When i stick my head in, they smell real pungent, but outside there is no smell.
