Hi all
It's been like 11-12 years since I enjoyed growing some green. Finally back at it and enjoying every moment.
Firstly big thanks to Mars Hydro for selling such a broad line of lights, tents and ventilation. Everything arrived within 1 week from placing the order.
Equipment:
- 1 x Mars Hydro 80x80x160cm tent (clones and veg).
- 1 x Mars Hydro SP 150 (clones and veg).
- 2 x Mars Hydro 120x120x200cm tents (veg + bloom).
- 1 x Mars Hydro SP 250 (veg + bloom).
- 1 x Mars Hydro SP 300 (veg + bloom).
Genetics:
- 3 x AK47, fem (Serious Seeds).
- 2 x Strawberry AKeil, fem (Serious Seeds).
- 2 x Amnesia Lemon Haze, fem (Barneys Farm).
- 5 x Wild Thailand, fem (World Of Seeds).
- 2 x Pink Kush, clones (Barneys Farm).
- 2 x Gorilla Bomb, clones (2 pheno types).
- 1 x Ghost Train Haze #1, clone. (Rare Dankness).
- 1 x MAC#1, clone.
"Planned" Nutrients:
- AN - PH PERFECT - GROW, MICRO, BLOOM (as base).
- AN - Voodoo Juice.
- AN - Bud Factor X.
- AN - B52.
- AN - Big Bud.
- AN - Rhino Skin.
- AN - Bud Ignitor.
- AN - Overdrive.
- AN - Bud Candy.
- AN - Flawless Finish (planning min. 2 week flush).
Soil:
- Best quality Peat Moss I could find (produced in Germany).
- 10% perlite.
- 10% worm castings.
- 10% vermiculite.
- Small dose of Mychorriza mixed in.
- Hydroton on the top to keep the top of the soil moist.
12 fem strains are 5 weeks from sprouting seeds and was transplanted into 28L airpots 2 weeks ago.
6 clones are 1 week from transplant into 28L airpots.
I plan to flip them to 12/12 around 22nd August.
All plants from seeds was topped last night.
5xWild Thailand, 2xStrawberry AKeil and 2xAmnesia Lemon Haze under 2xSP250 @ 90% (SAK shows what I believe is Cal/Mag deficiency and ALH doest seem to like heavy nutes - not too bad, so I am not worried at this stage) :
3xAK47, 2xGorilla Bomb, 2xPink Kush, 1xGhost Train Haze #1 and 1xMAC 1.
I am super impressed with the SP 150 during the early VEG. All plants have less than 1cm internode spacing and each plant has between 6-8 sets of branches.
SP 150 is clearly more blue color than SP250 and SP300, the young plants loved it and it is the first time I have grown plants so short and bushy - without any cropping or work to help them to get "bushy".
A couple of questions:
1. My tap water is 0.15 EC - I have a reverse osmosis system I was planning to use for a large salt water aquarium, BUT is it worth the hazzle/extra work?
2. I have not ordered all the BLOOM nutrients from AN yet. If I order all on their list I guess my feeding EC would be around 3.5-4 (too high). Anybody who can recommend which of the AN BLOOM nutrients are best/most important?
3. Anything else? suggestions or other improvements I can do? (I am rusty on growing the green - it has been a long time since my last grow).
