Wild sativas under 110w PL-L

jrw · Feb 15, 2008

Hello guys,

Welcome to my personal place in the micro-section.

I'm primarily growing Sativas of various kind, both bred and wild, in what I consider an ongoing experimental grow.

Info on my cab is here

Strains growing now:
None

Next up:
Afghani
Cotton Candy
Mango Haze
Malawi Gold
T*Haze x Skunk
Senor Garcia

Strains harvested:
Amager Outdoor 07 (unknown danish outdoor indy)
C99 x DC
C99 x SWT3
Kali Mist
Senor Garcia (Oregon Purple Thai x Panama Red)
Original Haze x SWT3
Jahwi's Joy
A5 x Thai

My plants are under 2x55w Philips PL-L, 3000K, 4800 lumens from each tube.
Thats 87 lumens pr watt if that stuff even matters.

I'm growing all organic (peat moss, mushroom compost, perlite / bloodmeal, guano, kelpmeal, basaltmeal; watering with bubbled tap water, once in a while with some seaweed extract).

Lights are on 12 hours a day all year around.

Any questions are very welcome. This will be my personal grow log :joint:

Sweet. I really like seeing grows like this. You should sprout like 15-20 more seeds and have your self a SOG like grow with a few topped plants plus half of them will probably be male.

I've got 2 ft from the floor to the tubes...

I'm simply gonna do a lot of different things to the plants to get wiser on what fits the best in this particular cabinet. I'll also leave some alone to see where they end up that way

Connoisseur300 · Feb 15, 2008

Will you be labeling each plant and taking clones??

jrw · Feb 15, 2008

Nope. This is the only space I've got.

jrw · Feb 17, 2008

Things are moving along nicely.

Little issues with the Senor Garcias (1-4), but it's my fault. I'm afraid they dried out :badday:

Connoisseur300 · Feb 18, 2008

Ouch!!!!!!!

If you have Photoshop, Elements, Gimp or other photo editing software, you may want to consider running "Levels" or "Histogram" on the darker shots. Just run the middle slider towards the dark. It won't win any photo awards but, it helps the class see. Think of the children. :wave:

Thanks for the advice

Ye. Still need to perfect my germination technique. The beans are cheap though (like 10 dollars for 10-12 seeds) so I just through some new ones in water.

Welcome tngreen

You seem to be a very experienced micro/cfl grower. Homemade lighting ficture and all :joint:

I've grown Kali Mist before and I loved the smoke, so now I'm gonna hunt for more different pure sativas that suits my taste.

best regards!

How much do you expect to get out of the Kali under that many watts? Those buds must be lighter than feathers.

I dont weigh since I dont have a weight. I feel confident that I will get enough to satisfy my own needs overall. I'll probably get enough for ~3 weeks light daytime smoking (I'm not in to this getting all oblitterated/stoned out/tired not being able to do anything).

The above image of the Kalis are captured a good time earlier than harvest and they were flowered imidiately after rooting. With my very much improved soilmix I'll come close to the same yield flowering from seed. Perhaps

Time will tell.

Great project, jrw! Can't wait to see how those sativas behave under your power compacts. :lurk:

Connoisseur300 · Feb 22, 2008

How tall did thay get? In the pic it looks like 6 to 9 inches?? I figured all kalimist stretched more than that.

jrw · Feb 22, 2008

Aware,
Thank you and welcome

Connoisseur300,
These two pictures gives you a good idea of how Kali Mist strecth under CFLs.

Dhor, here you see what I use to power my Yate Loon fans. A 9 volt charger I had laying around from something I forgot what was.
