hi all,
have been lurking for a while and have now decided to take a more active role so here goes...
i have only grown autos so far and this is my 3rd/4th grow (2 tanks). i currently use a 450w led with wilma 4 and 10s. i have a carbon filter and fan in there too. there is no ventilation however other than a slight gap in the door (light/detection issue). i have not got round to feeding out from the carbon filter and providing a passive intake facility.
first and second grows were with coco and growell coco nutes and tomorite. current growing is in clay pebbles (except one and a half 11l pots) using tomorite and aqua flores. the light position was kept static which probably didn't help.
first grow got 3oz dry from 4 plants (all dr). second grow got, er, less, half of the first maybe? - didn't even bother to weigh after 1st plant.
it is worth noting though that the average temperature for the second grow must have been about 3 degrees or something stupid like that.
the environment is indoor but unheated and about 2m (l) x 2/3m (w) x (2m - 2/3m, sloped ceiling) mylar'd/white.
so, to the current grow;
a
===
1x roadrunner
1x haze auto
2x maxi
3x iesel ryder
3 (2 +1)x bagseed (from some nice kush IIRC, not auto, first non-auto attempt)
===
b
===
1x auto hindu kush
3x cobra.
===
current lighting regime is 24x7.
(a) are about 8 weeks since popping (though you would not think so, it's cold!!!)
(b) are about a week or two since popping.
the plan at the moment (b) is to get a male from the three cobra to get some pollen to pollinate either the auto kush and/or the pandora (yet to decide, pandora will be introduced assuming there is space) once i have selected a male (fingers crossed). this will give me seeds moving forward and be the first step in developing a custom strain that will suit my environment/purpose. i'll reveal more detail as i make progress.
otherwise (a) are just gonna get smoked, as you would! other than the bagseed which will have to wait until (a) is finished then as a results (a) and (b) will go through 12/12 until the bagseed is done.
since i lowered the light i think it has helped but i couldn't lower it as much as i wanted because the haze has stretched.
i'm thinking about getting some pk13/14 (and maybe booster, if anyone thinks the cost is worthwhile) and perhaps some aqua vega (not sure if i need/want this in my situation).
fyi - i smoke a fair amount and this is all just for percy. same old reasons...
i'll post some pics when i buy a camera (tomorrow perhaps, or just use the phone later maybe ) but i would love some input when i do, i know i have burnt them a bit, they are all doing their own thing and vary quite a lot, i'm wondering if this is just phenos/strain or if something is up with a few of them (they are in the same tank system).
any comments etc. welcome, thanks.
