Hello folks!

Here we are, it seems like a good time to start up a grow diary. Here's some history!

I put an 8x8 room in during January with the help of a pal I call the Professor. He tuned up all my systems and during the first crazy nine weeks, I got a crash course in cannabis cultivation. :)
After that first run, the Professor took his leave and it was on me to get a second round running -- so I did. And, in the midst of crazy stressors in my life, the garden became my little happy buddha garden of tranquility. Harvest time was modest (About 3.5 lbs from 20 plants. Still a noob!), but delicious.

Some structural issues with the building that my original room was in forced my hand in putting up a new room -- but it's ended up being a VERY exciting upgrade. Here's the stats:

25x4
5 air cooled 600w HPS lamps.
One fancy cO2 generator that is smarter than I am
and right now, 18 plants, in their third week of flower.
There's a mix of
Mango (possibly Somango?)
Strawberry Diesel
Enigma (which no one is sure of the genetics on? Maybe why its enigma. Hard hitter tho and a fave across the board)
and a couple Sour Queen x Enimas.

All of these plants were gifts from the Professor when we put in room number one. There was also strawberry cough. but I managed to not take my clones in time and miss it entirely somehow. :spank: Sigh! I am sure I will be able to track down a clone at some point. We'll just keep our peepers out for that.

I have a mediocre understanding of the systems in my room. I am trying to get my brain wrapped around the co2 generator + the can filter right now. (Both new additions to the room)

Here's a shot from my last grow of the Enigma. Yum.


Here's the room when I first flipped this first half to bud. I know it looks pretty ghetto, but its coming together now:


Last weekend I did a little fussing around with the babies:


And last night I constructed this new little veg room which is really floating my boat right now:


So, halfway through this, I will fill the rest of the room up, another 18 plants. In theory, I should be pulling half the room just about once a month, give or take a few days. We're flying by the seat of our jeans here, and just see what really happens. And if it happens like I think it might.


I will get in and take more photos tonight, we're starting to get some lovely little pistily buds. :)

So, pull up a seat :joint: ask any questions you may have, and lets go for a long green ride! :jump:

Good evening folks! I am just stepping out of the studio and I snapped a couple of pics for the thread.

TNGreen: Thanks for stopping in! I actually am digging the big pots. there are three plants per pot and they get mad big in there. the rootballs, oh goodness. :)

Mrs.Babba, JustinCase & Bigtimer7, thank you for stopping in on this humble newbie's grow show! yay!

On to the important stuff. Pictures!


the lights run in a straight line and get great circulation cause of which. they retain practically no heat at all! (Love them reflections)


The heat when I need it comes from here! Meet Mr. Gen-1:


It's a very motley crew in here right now:


Command central:


the brains of the operation :)


from the light side. (I dont think I will ever have a half dark side again. muhahaha)


happy little overfed bud: (she got a flush tonite)


And there we have it.
I'm using Botanicare nutrients and am trying to get the feeding thing figured out as a couple of these guys are acting quite overfed on what I am used to giving them, which is just slightly under the recommended measurements.

Also, I am bugging out with some mites. Two plants are harboring fugitive bugs.:bashhead: . I gotta get those babies knocked out NOW. They suck muchly more when the buds are fat. sigh.

Alright, off for a nightnight spliff.
:joint:
