Hello there name is Ty and I love Mary Jane. I just started growing indoors this year, before I always just threw some seeds in the backyard and that was the extent of my grows. I went to the local hydroponics store and bought me some equipment. I decided to start with just my spare closet instead of a full bedroom grow it seemed like too much for my first times growing and would be a way larger investment. A few friends offeed to let me use their equipment but they also wanted keys and passlock codes to come caregive my plants. That was to much for me and not cool. Instead I went and invested in a 600 Watt HPS by Bad Ass Bulbs with 92'000 lumens, awesome! I got the Super Sun System 2 as my hood because my closet is more of a rectangle than a square so i got a hood longer then wider. I also bought a 600 watt digital dimmable ballast with 25%, 50%, 75% settings. Along with that i got a 435 CFM Vortex Centrifugal fan for fresh air intake and to air cool my hood. With that I purchased 25 feet of 6" ventilation ducting, duct tape, water proof duct tape, a solid Y connector duct. Five 5 Gallon nursery pots with plenty of drain holes, 4 bags of Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil,, along with the 3-part Flora Series and the 2-part Nova Series, pH Up, pH Down, SuperThrive, Epsom Salt, and still need to get some Cal/Mg. Also the creator/ friend of my girlfriends gave me $180 worth of his nutrients called Sea Green by Primordial Solutions and Beneficial Biologics. It's a 3 part organic nutrient solution Sea Green, Rootamentary, and True Blooms. They are a very concentrated organic nutrients that were biologically researched to grow marijuana and other blooming and harvested plants. I also picked up Serenade Disease Control, and Azatrol EC Insecticide. I got pH test strips, and also a pH Digital Pen. I have a 20'' fan on the ceiling exhausting the old hot air, and a 8 inch fan blowing into the canopy. I bought a roll of non-rust 2x2 fencing for my SCROG( The green fence everyone uses.) I picked up a 10 LB CO2 Tank and regulator off Craigslist with some hose to run throughout the garden. These pics are from right before I topped them at 2 weeks from clone, which would be 2 weeks ago from today. will post recent pics with SCROG on next. Grab A seat and watch me either smash this grow or blast this grow, my first grow went very well until the end when I totally F'ed it up. All advice is appreciated and comments are welcome, enjoy my first Grow Journal of many to come.

Hmm not sure why some pics are upside down and what not, that isnt how I uploaded them? Anyone know how to fix this or avoid it? Anyways I got a bunch of new pics for anyone whos been following... I see people have viewed it but no subscriptions, post, or comments :( Hopefully these new beautiful pics will stir some discussion! Also I suppose I should try and update daily to keep people coming back and to hold their interest. These last pics are from the end of week 3 flowering, Day 26 I believe. All the stretching is done, the Platinum Bubba Kush is the one that stretched the most, about 6 inches taller than the 3 LSD and 1 Shizznit. The 3 LSD really took off in the first few weeks of flowering and are massive multi cola bushes now. I heard the LSD strain has a very high yield. From pictures I have looked at they seem to end with massive colas. It is starting to look very promising, the 3 LSD are really producing some buds now, and I'm even more impressed with the very little known about strain "The Shizznitz." I couldn't find any data on this strain nor have heard of it. I picked it up because the seller had very good things to say about it, and its really looking like a great yielder, has a very nice smell to it. Will take some solo shots of this strain for you all to check it out. It really is producing a ton of buds all over, it still has some time to finish and i am very interested to see how big the buds swell. If anyone has any info on this unknown strain and its origins please share. Once again its called "The Shizznitz" and was purchased in the SoCal area by a very well known clone dispensary. Would love to know the genetics of this bad bitch! The Platinum Bubba Kush seems to be growing a lot like some of those viney OG's like Tahoe OG. Feel free to ask any Questions, advice, or leave comments about my grow. Day 26 Flower pics coming up in a few(tonight) and the beginning of Week 4 Day 28 Flower will be taken tonight and will try and get them up

Here's Flower Day 26 pics like promised enjoy! Please let me know what kind of pics you guys would like to see, individual shots, close ups, HPS off, ect. And I will do my best to take and upload new pics as you suggest them. All the Girls are really getting covered with crystals, it started very early, earlier than I expected, and then my previous grow. I am wondering why. By the middle of Week 3 or even sooner I believe I started to notice the leaves starting to look frosty. Doesn't this usually happen later on, like Week 4 or 5? I considered it may be the nutrients I'm using compared to my last grow, because it is the biggest, and only change except of course the strains. Last grow I went with GH Flora Series...Synthetics, Ahhh! I didnt care for them after my first grow and decided to go Organic, or as Organic as possible on my next grow. The Rev's TLO Theory really made me want to try a more Organic approach. Mainly due to myself seeing the main downside of synthetic nutrients, it didnt really make sense to me now, why did I want to use synthetics in the beginning? I'm not too sure either because I love how this grow is coming along using mostly Organic nutrients. My plants have grown much, much faster, they are very green and lush, each leave nearly made to perfection. I also noticed all the crazy branches below the canopy compared to my first synthetic grow. Another huge difference is the plants aroma is much stronger. This grow has showed me how amazing going Organic can be, and have much more to learn about it.photo (18).jpgphoto (26).jpgphoto (25).jpgphoto (24).jpgphoto (23).jpgphoto (22).jpgphoto (21).jpgphoto (20).jpgphoto (19).jpgphoto (17).jpgphoto (27).jpg
