Well here is my first official grow! The Scrog idea got trashed waiting to try to get my clones up to speed, maybe next time, and I cant edit the title... Im such a noob!
It will be a mash up of 2 strains involving some clones I took in late flowering from what I believe to be an ice cream plant or sour bubble plant. The second strain are some lemon skunk seeds a friend gave me. The story behind those is he had an issue with lighting and the plants went without light for some time and hermied. He says they should be good seeds and mostly female but I have read these type of seeds may be an issue. Well we will see!
I have 2 grow spaces I will use, a 3x3 closet and a 27 inch by 4 foot closest I have tons of over head space so I will have to see how that factors in.
Currently I have 7 of the clones going, and 16 of the seedlings vegging under a 400w switchable ballast with an eye hortilux blue light. ( Loving this bulb already.)
When the time comes I have a yieldmaster 2 4 inch vent hood with a 600w hps ballast to add to the mix.
Currently all of them are vegging in the big room under the 400w with a cheap bat wing.
The clones are going on 7 weeks veg.
5 popped nice after a month and started growing new shoots. 2 have been sitting there with their banana leaves chillin in slow motion. lol I learned a lesson about taking clones late in flowering! I wanted to save the strain because the buds were ridiculous. I attempted to save some sour bubble clones but I fucked them up and none made it .... (well I think the sour bubble died there is some discrepency on which was the ice cream and which was the sour bubble) In any event the clones that lived came from the nicest diesel smelling plant of the group so they should be interesting!
The mix is fox farm ocean forest soil with roughly a little less then 50/50 perlite added.
For nutes I am using some simple path/davids grow nutes I had left from a trial pack I used for the couple plants my friend gave me that I bloomed out. I also have some general hydroponics maxigrow dry I will be using during veg shortly, I plan to grab some bloomin nute soon to add to the mix.
I will post some pics soon! I plan to bloom out some in the 3x3 with a scrog, and am debating doing the same in the big room when it is time.
I also have a small space I plan to get some bonzai moms going in later in veg.
I'd be happy for any advice as we go!
Things could get tricky with these hermie seedlings I think, debating how to handle this, I may throw my clones in the small room to bloom and leave the seedlings in the big one.
I'll have some pics up soon!
