    The Great Pheno Hunt

    I like to use the paper towel method for germinating my seeds. First, i put the seeds in a shot glass with some mycorrhiza and dust them up good. Then I put the dusted seeds between sheets of paper towel that have been moistened with RO water. Then I sprinkle a little micorrhiza around the...

    The Great Pheno Hunt

    This grow will start out in a small tent that will be used as a veg tent in the future. Eventually I will get a second tent to store up to 4 mother plants in. Once the plants are ready, they will go into my 8x8 grow room. My grow room is a sealed room with a 4x8 grow area. I grow in living...

    The Great Pheno Hunt

    PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COMMENT. This will be a long term, multiple grow, multiple strain grow journal. She's going to be a long ride. Well, it's time to start thinking about finding a few mother plants and cutting clones instead of growing from seed like I have been for the past few years. I...

    One from the bucket list - Malawi Landrace

    Yeah definetly gotta try another run. But now I am under the gun to get another crop off so probably gonna do something with a quicker finishing time. I have washing machine by Ripper Seeds and Gelato from Barneys Farms in my my seed collection. Might try a tangie type strain, I don't know.

    One from the bucket list - Malawi Landrace

    Yeah it sucks but shit happens and I have been pretty lucky as far as pests are concerned. My last lost crop was spider mites in 2002 or 2003. Just gonna pull everything out of the room. Set off a bug bomb and then wipe down everything. I am going to grow only cover crop in the living soil...

    One from the bucket list - Malawi Landrace

    So I didn't even want to post this but I want to keep my grow journals honest so..... As I had previously mentioned, I have had some issues with fungus gnats the past couple of grows. Last grow I released 5000 preditor mites. They cut down the number of gnats drastically but didn't quite...

    One from the bucket list - Malawi Landrace

    Day 1 of 12/12 Things took a little longer than normal to fill out the scrog net but its pretty much full now. Looking at these plants I kinda feel that yield won't be the same as other steains I have grown before in this room. But as long as it is good smoke, I wont mind. Anything above 2lbs...

    4x8 scrog

    I am not a fan of the bungee cord type scrog nets. They stretch too much in my opinion. I like the plastic type. They hold things in place better. I tried the nylon type too, it worked but when I cut it apart at harvest time, it shed lots of nylon fibers and they ended up getting into some of my...

    4x8 scrog

    Not a god at all. Lol Just a guy with a grow room and a little bit of good luck. But seriously my yields went up big time when I started using scrog nets and properly filling them.

    4x8 scrog

    Sealed pretty damn close to 100% but I know I still have a couple small leaks but I am planning on fixing that. And yes I use bottled CO². I run 800ppm during veg, then 1500ppm in flower until I get to about 2-3 weeks from harvest then I slowly knock it down over 4 or 5 days to 800ppm while...

    4x8 scrog

    100% correct. Reaching the back is a pain in the ass. I have even considered taking the walls down and modifying the room so I could have access to both sides of the grow area. I still might do it.

    4x8 scrog

    Strains are different every grow so far. Feminized seeds. Veg is 50-60 days. I veg in the flowering room for the most part but I do have a small tent that I germinate and grow the seedlings until they are big enough to go into the 20 gallon pots.

    4x8 scrog

    Yeah, it was too much for my wife. She looks after it while I am at work. Thats part of the reason I went to 4 plants and living soil. My goal is 4 plants yielding 4lbs. Last grow I got 3.7lbs from 4 plants. Getting close.

    Dehumidifier for an 8x8 room

    I run a Quest 70 in my 8x8 room and it lets me run pretty much any level of himidity I want and its up by the ceiling out of the way. I would have loved the 105 but as others have said it's pretty pricey. Maybe next time I'll get the 105.

    One from the bucket list - Malawi Landrace

    I am interested to see how yours turns out. When I defoliated the bottom leaves off to open up airflow, I really noticed a very pungent skunky smell. Not sure if this is normal for Malawi or if I am just reading too much into this early smell.
