Shadow's log

[the_shadow]

*Advice, Suggestions, etc are all appreciated *

Nothing spectacular here. I'll be growing some decent genes and will be updating this journal as a way to keep on top of things I had my setup ok in the last gro but then had to move and start all over. As such, this first grow is exploratory. If any of the genes/phenos look good; I'll clone them and continue. My hope is to get back to where I was (moms, cloning station and flower station).

Not all of my previous grows ended well Here's hope for the future! lol

Starting Seeds:
2 G13xHaze Feminized
2 G13 labs Super Skunk (we'll see if they last)
3 Mystery Strain

Style:
Will grow out in a simple cab until sexed. Males go into a small tub in a separate room for pollin collection. Females get cloned. Immediately place the clones into a triple scrog, and the doners into a veg cab.

Lighting:
250W MH for clone/veg
250W MH + 800W (2 400's) HPS for flower

Nutes:
FloraNova
Overdrive

Beans are germing as of today, 11/24.


*Day 1 test readings*
tap water base ppm = 13
1 gallon of water mixed with 1 TSP of Micro and 2 TSP of bloom =
ppm 496
ph 5.66
Current H20 temp = 55.2F
Current Ambient temp = 62.7F
Current RH = 0%

Just saw your scrog, I'm sure you'll have success this time! As for extras... how about extra light bulbs? Anyhow, I"ll be watching!

 

[spaceghost22]

Wow, I just looked at your last grow... Everything looked alright up till the end... I'm sure you'll do better this time. Exp. is the best teacher, no?


Keep it up!

greenpenguin - lol, I have extra bulbs as well and will be ordering extra nutes today too! (Trying to be prepared without going overboard) Hopefully this gro will complete without Root rot (that basically ruined my last 3 gros)

spaceghost - thanks for droppin in. Experience is definitely the best teacher, but she is also a whore that will steal your money and your time until you figure her out LOL

hey the shadow -

its all about school fees. We all have to pay some in order to learn.

- keep em'roots full of oxygen -

Good luck with your grow

hiya Dee9, thanks for stoppin in!


Totally agree. I'm using 25 gallon tubs, each with 4 air stones powered by commercial pumps. I'm thinking oxygen was the reason all of my plants died last time, hoping to rule that out this go round








tracking my reservoir for stablization
*Day 2 test readings*
ppm 496
ph 6.26
Current H20 temp = 55.5F
Current Ambient temp = 61.7F
Current RH = 0%

So far 1 bean has popped and is 'in the wool'.

So far the G13 and one SuperSkunk have popped in addition to all of the mystery strain beans. Still have another superskunk waiting to pop.

Gro room's coming along. Hoping to have the structure built tomorrow, and get the access holes drilled into the tubs.

Hopefully in a couple weeks I'll have some little girls.

100% germination. It's usually a crap shoot with the mystery beans

censorship sucks!

 

[spaceghost22]

hi shadow... anyway, thanks for sharin' your progress man and like FreezerBoy said, you deserve respect for posting your 'failure', many other lesser men would have lied, lol.

peace man, and stay safe...

This is true... yes it is.



I like how clean you have your mylar mounted. Mine isn't quite as neat. Good job sir, I wish you great success. I have a feeling you will anyway!
