target 12oz's of high quality bud off 4 plants 18" high
strain and training
4 healthy northern light clones, vegged for 5 weeks, topped once, LST couple of times and removed a few fan leaves, flowered at 10" high
as the plants grow I will pull the shoots down and tie them round the out side of a tomato cage so the will stay between 15"- 20" and fill the space
room set up
selectioned off a space 1m (L)x 1m (w) x 34"(h)
looks like a m2 square play pen covered in Mylar with a swamp cooler blowing cool air down over the canopy as it keeps the humidity 50-60 and drops the temperate a little also have a 6" ducting blowing cool air under the canopy
light and filter
8" rhino carbon filter, 8"ruck fan and a 5" silver star air cooled hood with a 600w hps bulb, Lumatek 600w Dimmable Ballast
so it pulls air through the filter -> fan -> hood -> then straight out the room
by doing this I can drop the hood 14" above the canopy as I only have a 1m2 room and it stays between 20c-30c![Smile :) :)](/styles/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
soil
plagron royalty mix soil
its a good soil imo but its very hot so after I re-pot a 2ltr pot into a 14ltr bucket I will not feed the plant for 3-4 weeks
the roots will grow as the plant run out of food, so in 3-4 weeks time there should be a large root mass and I will start feeding the plants
nutes
bio buzz fish mix,bloom and Epson salt
always add 1 tbsp Epsom salt (per 10 ltrs) 7 days and 28 days after flowering 12/12
1ml of fish mix and 2 ml of bloom for the first week I start feeding the plants and second week go up to 1ml grow and 3ml-4ml of boom,
a week before harvest I like to give the plant plain water so the plant uses any food up
my last grow was in larger room and I pulled a lot of bud, but this time I want to grow larger cola's want to aim for 10" long and 3" think
would be nice
pic of my buds last time I tried
pic's of my plants when I turned them over to flower
the leaves went a little yellow as I like my plants to be hungry when I re pot, I believe it speeds the root growth up. re potted my plants a few days ago and turned them to flower on the 14/08![Smile :) :)](/styles/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
a pic of my plants a few hours later with the shoots pulled down

day 5 12/12
there looking good and the plants are filling the room out, in the next couple of days I will pull the shoots down again and this should fill the room, as the plant carries on growing I will tie the shoots round the out side of the cages, then it time to site back and watch the cola's grow
