Soil Run Delicious Critical Jack Herer

[420911]

Greetings. I started out with hydro and spent a long time learning the curve before starting. I've decided to go to soil after putting a Pineapple Chunk clone in a 1 gallon bag full of just Fox Farms Ocean Forest and seeing the results.

I have some ingredients already kicking around that I'll be using and I was hoping to get some recommendations regarding ratio and the best time to transplant/flip for my specific setup.

This first run is all seeds with 2 freebies - 5th element, and trueberry. One Jack Herer will be used to make a Bonsai mom big enough to do 8-10 clones at a time.

• 8x7 closet
• 600watt cooltube vented w/filter
• passive intake/sealed door
• summer exhaust vent shoots directly out skylight
• winter skylight is closed and exhaust helps heat upstairs
• 1 gallon grow bags in 8" saucers
• additional 400w T5 only really usable in winter I think(needs testing)

I have the following ingredients:

• Pro_mix 2cu/f potting soil mix

• Just Natural organic manure

• Lime

That will be it for this run, however any suggestions for the next run are welcome. I do also have all my hydro stuff including Dyna-Gro grow + bloom, pro-tekt, aquashield.

Aside from those ratios I'm also looking for suggestions about when to flip. Right now I have two that had the tap root pop out last night. I've heard for a 1 gallon setup anywhere from as soon as the root pops out to waiting 2 full weeks before flipping. What is the census here on that?

 

[Well]

Damn, i actually miss soil grow now after i made the jump to hydro, don´t get me wrong, hydro seems to work well for me, and after this first run i know what to tweak and so on,,

but back to the subject, it´s hard to say when to flip the light, different plants grows different, some of my ladys have enough roots after 3-4 weeks, some seems to like to go longer, and some shorter, but in my experience you can flip at 2 weeks and they willl have enough roots by then, but remember that the longer you veg, the fatter your honeys will be

I have done some grows with 12/12 light from seed, and some of my strains have actually really liked it, still whent big, fat and juicy,
what to remember is that they still veg for 1-2 weeks after you flip the light to 12/12.

I am growing some Jack Herer myself ...

I am growing some Jack Herer myself ...

I'm in the second week of flower and starting to bud nicely.

I used 400 Watts MH to veg and a 600 Watt Hilux Gro HPS in flower.

I have 6 going and they are around 2 1/2 feets tall.

I am growing them from clones in Fox Farm 3 gallon pots.

Best Luck in your grow

P.S. I just popped some Barneys Critical Kush
