Welcome to my new grow room fellow stoners. Please feel free to kick back, put your feet up and enjoy the ride. All comments and topics are welcome in here.

It’s been a long road getting here but the day has finally arrived. I recently had to move and now I’m starting over from scratch. I was growing in a 3x3 space with a 600 watter, not much room but it got the job done.

Now I’m in a 4’W x 9’L x 7’T grow room that’s just been completed and this time I’ve upped the ante to 1200 watts. I hope y’all will enjoy my journey as I attempt to grow the finest herb and produce the biggest buds to the best of my ability.
I’ll start off with a few pics of the build. The first couple of pics are what I was getting myself into.

Round One: Seeds And Strain info.

3) G13 Labs Pineapple Express.

Sex : Feminized
Type : Indica / Sativa
Flowering : Photo period
Genetics : Many Rumors', No one actually knows for sure
Flowering Time : Medium
Outdoor Harvest : Unknown
Height : Medium
THC Level : Medium
Characteristics : strong fruity fragrance.

G13 Labs Pineapple Express is awesome! Unheard of Quality, Great Yield, Fast Flowering, Highly Resinous, Potent mentally and physically, Incredible taste, & feminized.

What more can you ask for. Pineapple Express are high-grade cannabis seeds that were previously extremely rare.

True smokers appreciate the delicate and its sweet characteristics. These seeds are superior quality and all have been thoroughly tested. Extreme caution is advised strong fruity fragrance.

1) TH Seeds Burmese Kush

Sex : Feminized
Type : Indica / Sativa
Flowering : Photo period
Genetics : Burmese Kush x OG Kush
Flowering Time : Medium
Outdoor Harvest : September/October
Height : Medium
THC Level : High
Characteristics : Great Kush flavor & high

TH Seeds Burmese Kush: Meet BUKU aka the ancient treasure Burmese Kush!

A short but phat plant with a flowering time of only 7 1/2 weeks, making it one of the fastest T.H. Seeds strains. To create this mean machine, we've crossed the authentic Burmese Kush with the O.G. Kush from L.A. which is without a doubt the hottest thing being passed around in Cali right now. BUKU has got that great Kush flavor & high and all a grower could wish for. Bound to become one of your garden & stash favorites. Quick flowering time and a low leaf-to -flower ratio make the BUKU the perfect plant for small highly productive grow rooms. It takes cannabis seeds between 50-55 days to flower.

1) TH Seeds Kushage.


Sex : Fem
Type : Mostly indica
Flowering : Photo period
Genetics : S.A.G.E. x OG Kush
Flowering Time : Long
Outdoor Harvest : October/November
Height : Tall
THC Level : High
Characteristics : spicy sweetness

T H Seeds Kushage: Every few years a new flavor emerges on the scene, and right now this is the one. With two proven parents, this combo of Cali super plants just gets better.

Our S.A.G.E. male has proven over the years to produce stable vigorous plants. The O.G. Kush we used in this cross has a following of biblical proportions; the S.A.G.E, on the other hand, delivers the essential Sativa influence to lift up the sometimes overwhelming Kush effect. With a longer flowering than the O.G. you can expect bigger yields & more elegantly shaped plants. With this outrages vigorous growth, TH Seeds Kusage will make any indoor gardener proud !

The sandalwood flavor of S.A.G.E. & the crystal clear high add an extra boost to the almost addictive buzz of the O.G. Kush.

My Equipment:

2) 600 watt HPS for flower
1) 2’ X 2’ 8 bulb T5 for veg.
One 6 inch 530 CFM extraction fan cooling the hoods and one 8” 762 CFM extraction fan with a carbon filter to exhaust both grow rooms.

I'll be using Fox Farms Ocean forest soil with superoot Air Pot’s and Dyna Gro's full line up of nutrients and additives, which is,

Grow 7-9-5 General Purpose Formula.
Bloom 3-12-6 Blooming Formula.
Mag-Pro 2-15-4 Sulfur & Magnesium Booster.
Pro-TeKt 0-0-3 The Silicon Solution - Strengthens Plants.
K-L-N Concentrate - Rooting Solution.

Now I know some of you won’t know what a superoot air pot is so before you ask here is a short video of what they’re all about.

Burmese Kush AKA BUKU. I don’t quite know what going on with this one. I took it out from under the humidity dome and a day later I got all these spots on her leaves. I’m sure it’ll work itself out soon.



Pineapple Express Group Shot. One of The P.E. is experiencing the same symptoms as the BUKU but not nearly as bad. I’m sure they’ll both recover just fine.



Last but not least we have Kushage.



I hope you all enjoyed the show. Next update in about a week.

Peace and Happy medicating.:eyesmoke:

Thanks bro. Lot of time and planning went into this. I guess 20+ years of working in trailer factories taught me a thing or two. Those holes are passive intakes. If you look a few pics back you'll see where I'm pulling my fresh air in. I'm not decided yet but I may have to add another box to bring in more air. As of right now it's running at or around 82 to 85* but when you walk in there it don't feel that hot.

Thanks for having a look fellas.

Yeah I herd that PE puts out some pretty fat buds so I'm real excited to see how they turn out. I'm down to about an oz or so of the NL#5 but I'm trying real hard not to smoke it all up. I've been smoking roaches (about 1 1/2 oz worth) for the past cpl of weeks. Been trying to save those top choice buds for for last.

Hope you don't mind me kicking around in your beautiful grow room. I brought dog treats to keep the big pup happy. Love the construction. It's a shame you didn't put up many pictures, lol.

Looking forward to the magic that I'm sure will ensue.

peace

Hey Ambs glad you made it. I'm not sure what's going on with those leaves. The only thing I can think of is that they may have gotten wet in the dome and when I pulled em out from the dome the light from the T5's fried em a bit. I wouldn't have thought the T5's would do that though. As of right now I'm not to concerned but I'll keep a close eye on em for sure.

Thanks for stopping by and I'll check ya later.

WooooHoooo! I guess I stopped by just in time to get in on the ground floor of this Grow! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the new construction! I am Soooooooo excited to see what you can do with some space!

I just picked up a Pineapple Express Clone, gonna Mom her and do some clipping. Most of the Peeps around here (Michigan), Rave about its potency (and taste), so I am equally excited for YOU!

So Lets Toast to the Ganja Gods that "2012" is the BEST YEAR YET!

Day 14, I just gave the ladies their first feeding and the BUKU is looking a lot better today. Probably gonna transplant em to a bigger pot in a few days and stick em under the MH for a while.

Check y'all later.

Went ahead and transplanted them into bigger pots today. I used fox farm ocean forest soil, amended with 25% perlite for better drainage and it helps to retain moisture.

Here's the kiddie pron, enjoy.

Here's a little trick I picked up. I'm sure it's nothing new to anybody but I thought I'd post it anyway.





Cut the bottom off the cup so I could push it out easily.



Decent root structure going on.



Put it in the hole and that's all there is to it.



Here's a shot of the grow chamber with something finally in it. Man does that look sweet or what?


Here's the Pineapple Express group shot. First time in the main chamber and under the big MH in the sky. I've been waiting 5 months for this and that makes me a happy camper:hump:.





Last but not least is the BUKU on the right and the Kushage on the left.





Well that's all folks, see ya in week for another update. Peace and happy gardening.

I'm not quite sure yet. I usually veg all my plant's for 4 weeks but I might go a little longer depending on how big they get by then. I like to flip when they're around 18 inches or so. That way after the stretch they'll be 3 1/2 to 4 feet tall, just the way I like em.
