Well while I am still deciding on my medicinal Indica to snag up in my next order of seeds, I thought I would post my most recent lil tykes.
Seems like every body is either wrapping up runs or firing up new ones so it was a bit too ironic to not post a lil somethin somethin.
Kiddo's popped on January 4th, two days after they were put into cubes and starter tote. Tangerine Dream, curious what pheno's these two are going to be.
Ive recently found out the hard way that it is a terrible idea to fire up an unfamiliar strain that may be completely fucking out of control with unstable genetics and SEVERAL different phenos. With all of this comes different nute regimes...well fuck me..
Sativa Dom.
-Loved Cal/Mag, to the point I was running 7ml/gal and she was eating up every second of it. Jesus H. Mainly loved the Calcium.
-Had maybe 1.5ml/gal of Gro solution as it didn't want a whole lot anyways, then Botanicare's Cal/Mag+ has quite a bit of N in it as well.
Indica Dom.
-Exact fucking opposite..
-Now running with 2ml/gal of Cal/Mag and she has simply exploded
-Then running 2.5ml/gal of Gro
Anyways, while I was fighting those fuckin things- threw my last 2 seeds in a little tupperwear container (paper towel trick, never failed) and took some clones from the big uglies to kindve recap and start over without giving up on the others- still troubleshooting and building seperate containers.
So,
:Here's the Giddup:
Im using a 5 x 10' room that used to be a bathroom in my garage. In this I have two 33x17x72" Storage Cabinets that I have DIY'd into my grow cabinets, in previous grows the rectangular shape fit my needs ideally; now, it lets me fit everything in this room- I will be extending down into my cellar some time down the road once I determine how to quiet down my only access point to it... loud as metal door. sweeeet...
^^^Narnia
^^^Veg/Mother/Seed Cabinet
^^^Flower Cabinet
I really love the consistency throughout my setup, same dimensions, same cfm, same totes. Familiarize myself with everything that much quicker, slightly OCD about the tidiness and look of things. The consistency was a major factor in determining what to run in-
3.905 square feet- completely SCROGGED, the screen is a very tight fit, there will be no light to the lower portion of the canopy,
Though I have thought about putting some of my extra panels in the recessed areas of the cabinet walls and doing a mini-BOG; but I dont think space provides adequate results for such a setup right now.
^^^This is where and how I will be scrogging my cabinet, pride and joy- right 'mere.
Ill be running RO'd water, with a little bit of Botanicare's Cal/Mag+ when needed and I will be running Dyna Gro, maybe Bloom depending on how things flow. I also have a Continuous Hanna Meter and pen I use, both on a .7 CF, pen is adjustable- thank god. Found the Continuous on a steal and luckily figured out how to adjust my pen. Calibrated both on November 8th, and have not had an issue since. I use the PH Drops regularly to double check accuracy-OCD- and use the pen to check the meter and so on.
Now for the acutal project:
:Seeds and Clones Chamber:
-33x17 and adjustable height from 36-12" (in foot increments- I believe.)
-x1 Aerocool Shark 120mm (70cfm) intake, adjustable power supply wired up.
-x2 Aerocool Shark 140mm (90cfm) exhausts, adjustable as well. (was in the process of finding the best comp fans, and found a bad as fuck 103 cfm ball bearing fan ill be using for my curing box, quite stoked- going to order a few more if it works out.
-x8 two-bulb T5 fixtures-14w bulbs- use 6500 and 2700k bulbs when needed- I like the amount of adjustable light I have in this chamber as while I am scrogging in the VEG chamber I will need somewhere to house my Mother's, and still have some room to have a clone kit runnin.
:Veg Chamber:
-33x17, usually set to 4' or so.
-x1 Aerocool Shark (90cfm) exhaust with passive rectangular intake, need to get some window screen put over before spring for pests..
-x2 Hydroponic Huts' Pro Grow 180's- one 2w, one 3w model- it's interesting to see the difference in spectrum when they are next to each other. The 2w model almost a pure white Veg mode. O that's right, I am running this a little different.
This is my most recent adjustment to the cab's, I used plumbers tape and took off those lanky ass cables that HH use to hang their lights- I could not stand these things, I lost like 8" of precious head room just to hang it! Fuck no! Now.. theyre mounted with a slight angle that I think will help with more direct light instead of it bouncing off the material. (dono what len's, if any HH runs, but Im just using general common sense and angling them inward)
:The Kids:
-running on straight RO for now, I am not going to add a single thing till they ask for it throughout this grow; I have always had troubles, this time I am not throwing a single thing in there that I do not need to.
O, and Dawg- Went to my handy dandy grow shop, they did not have aquashield, hygrozyme, NOTHIN. So I drove down to another about an hour away- and theyre closed on sundays. SWEET! So at some point Im going to start brewing my own Microbe Tea.
RH is a little low but I have not found a steal on a solid Humidifier quite yet and patience is a virtue.
Well, hopefully we can all keep up with each other and do this. I am willing to admit; I am not going to run this perfect by any means- and many of you have put in so much input that you deserve a form of Stock in my grows- So I welcome all of you with open arms! Let's do this shindig!

this is just dumb luck consistency right here..
. Oh and thanks for reminding me that I wanted to take two SLH clones today
