Too much b**b talk got my last thread deleted :biggrin:

So I better just dive straight in this time. Basically I have only ever grown fems and autos from seed. I only have access to a UK clone only Exodus cheese cut, but it is the most stinking cannabis I have seen and I don't want to risk it at the moment, as smell is an issue where I grow. I may get the cut very soon anyway though and sneak one in here and there. I am starting the hunt for mothers so starting this thread for it all. Only regular beans now and hopefully going to find some keepers! I would like 4 or 5 nice mothers in my tent.. Still a massive noob with cloning, mother plants and sexing plants even, so should be fun fun fun, especially with the ambient temperature battle and space issues I have haha.

Anyway here is my grow space, as you can see it is a stealth set up. shhhh.

Inside the 2 big doors I have 2x 60x60cm black orchid tents, loaded with 250w lamps. I have hit GPW twice so far, so it can be done with these little light bulbs

I have another tiny homebox 30x30x60cm I will be needing, I started some Mosca C99 BX1 in there week or so ago under some crappy LED's

Now the C99 are joined by some Bodhi Dragon Fruit (Old Sog SSH x Snow Lotus) and a couple Reserva Privada Tangies

And their off, not my best start but 100% germ rate on them all. I did lose a C99 trying to doctor a shell off, but I had 12 dragon fruit seeds in the pack so happy days.

I only use the Canna coco line, never needed to change and so easy to grow with. At the moment they are under a 250w CFL 6500k

I have all my wiring in a cupboard above, digital ballasts, timers, variac speed controller doing both fans, right old mess which needs doing at some point

And some of the beans i plan to go through

you got some vigorous strains right there , with the bodhi gear

Granger2 · Apr 16, 2016

Nice design and work. No reason why you can't grow top grade nerg in there. What are your temps and RH running at? Good luck. Oh yes, not my idea, but somebody on here had exhaust fan noise masked by running an oscillating fan sitting on the floor next to cab. I'd use a pedestal fan all the way up if exhaust noise was high up in cab. Or hang a fan. -granger

Looks promising, i'm pulling up a seat :lurk:

Yeah hope so! I am under no illusion I am going to have my work cut out with the space I have

Thanks, yeah there is plenty of room for the right strains in there. My temps are 22-24degC and 55%Rh, I have to use heated propagator, seedling mat, tube heaters and 2x 250w frost heaters, will post more later.

Lets hope so hehe

Quick update, i have my first b**b

Somehow I have damaged Dragon Fruit #12, so will see if it makes it, it looks better today as this was yesterday

And while in the town, I see this products for sale in the £1 store haha, wonder how many people actually buy it

My last thread was deleted for b**b talk, so just me making a b**b of myself in the garden unfortunately

doob · Apr 17, 2016

Here is my feed buckets, 20 litres with 25w tank heaters keeping them 18-20degC

Food cupboard

Currently above light tent temp is 18degC 61%Rh, pot level is 24degC though and being warmed underneath with seedling mat so all good

Can see they are on a box I made keeping them off the floor, with a tube heater also beneath helping keep them toasty in there.

Just been fed 1ml/l A&B, 4ml/l Rhizotonic 5.8pH @ 20degC.

Here is my other tent, my last harvest is in food grade brown paper bags finishing up before being jarred. I try not to use any heat, just the dehumidifier. I find the bags for a couple days with being burped so to speak helps my process, I usually hang for 7-10 days still out here. The building humidity is usually quite high so i have to try and burp all in the tent.

You can see the 2x 250w frost heaters I used last winter, these worked great and they give off no light at all which I was pleased about.

doob · Apr 19, 2016

Feed time, I fed the C99 yesterday and also today, the Dragon fruit just tonight as I am waiting for them to root out more. I checked my dates and the C99 is day 14 above ground, and DF is day 7 above ground.

Fed 1ml/l A&B 4ml/l Rhizo 5.9pH, note the temp setting on the heater is 24degC

Actual temp of 20.1degC, if you dont have an infrared temp gun, you should get one, they are very cheap and good for checking temps everywhere, leaf temp is their specialty

Group shot, maybe a bit underfed and some marks from earlier rhizo foliar, but growing nicely

Wow nice setup. Everything looks tip-top. I'm taking a few tips from you that's for sure. Thanks for all the pics, I'm in the process of getting my space in shape at the moment. It's good to see how other people work.

I'm also making a switch to Canna from GH CocoTek, which seems to work pretty awesome BTW but i'd like to see the difference. Would you mind detailing your mix? I might run it straight / no adds, just whatever I can get my hands on because I'm pretty broke. Any thoughts?

Again, your grow looks awesome. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

doob · Apr 20, 2016

Me and mates only use canna so its all i know. You could do a very successful grow with the coco straight out the bag and just canna coco A/B and pH down. I would recommend rhizotonic though for first couple weeks if possible, I haven't experimented with enzymes and boost as I have been waiting to get clones so I can tell the difference and see if its worth it.. Pk13/14 is cheap to, and can be used 1/3 or 1/2 strength. Do you hand water?

And thanks, hopefully all goes to plan haha

doob · Apr 20, 2016

Oh and Happy 4/20!!!

doob · Apr 20, 2016

Nice spring ambient temperatures here, I had ice on my car windscreen this morning so its been cold over night, then temperatures hit 17degC today. Garden doing ok though, growing nicely. I do need to up the feed though i think tomorrow. Fed the C99 again as before.

made a little bit more room for the bigger C99 to help minimise stretch

Now I am getting really high for 420.
