600W metal halide and hps grow soil grow

Plant strains........
1x Delicious seeds Sensi Star
1x Flying Dutchman Gforce
1x Barneys Farm LSD
3x Green House Church (one of my favourites)
3x Boberooni (local strain from a mixed strain seed crop)
2x Buddha seeds white dwarf(auto flowers)

Soil....................
Plagron Batmix (using this for the first time as i was so impressed by the bat guano fertilizer i used on my last grow)


Pots...................
1ltr into 3ltr into 6ltr Air pots (Again impressed by them on my last grow)

Lights.................
Bog standard euro reflector 600W ballast and I am using a sunmaster 7200Kelvin metal halide for veg and a sunmaster hps for flowering, also have a couple of 125 enviro lights of both spectrum's to mix it up a bit.

Grow room.........
The usual suspects carbon scrubber, adequate ventilation equipment , etc etc

Wow........ How ignorant of me a big hello to all you good people, and I look forward to gaining valuable knowledge to help me catch up on all the lost years of growing.

Hello friends, 20 days since I put my new babes into pots and I can see what looks the makings of a few buxom beauty's. Out of 3 church seeds, 2 have got off to flyer and have become quite big very quickly after potting up to the 3 litre airpots.

The 3 cuttings of the unknown strain (nicknamed Boberooni) are all growing well in particular the one in the 3ltr airpot which is demanding water at a ratio of 1.5 to 1 more than her cloned siblings which are in normal 3 ltr pots.

The 2 white dwarf auto flower plants are both in the early stages of flower, one is big one is small the norm for white dwarf as i have found on my last 2 grows although I would say the lass i have at the mo is biggest one I have had yet.

A few pics at 20 days

The L.S.D and Sensi Star ones look as I would expect them to look, however these are a first for me so in a couple of weeks I'll get some detailed pics for any fans of these strains to get there peepers on.

The Gforce one has had me concerned from her earliest stages of growth to be honest, She just never looked as healthy or vibrant as the others.....Signs of progress at the minute though and once again some pics soon of her for advice.

HELLO PEEPS here's the nitty gritty

BETWEEN THEN AND NOW..........Since my last post I have moved into 6 ltr airpots for 6 plants and normal 6 ltr square ones for 2 plants, all of the plants are doing well, the auto flowers gave me around 9gr of pretty good smoke and the gforce got very poorly and was moved on. I have been using molasses and bat guano top dressing since I went into flower and have been replacing a the top inch of soil every week.

The 3 clones are compact and look like they will be ready way quicker than other strains that , the one in the airpot has had a bigger demand for water and looks slightly ahead of her cloned sisters but I'm pretty sure yields will be close.

The 3 church plants are all big lassies and will likely be the last to finish, 2 in airpots and one in a normal pot. The 2 in airpots are considerably bigger however no comparison regarding pots can be made as knowing the church as I do, you rarely get uniformed plants from seed.

The LSD and sensi star ones are both growing well and didn't stretch as much as the church when going to 12/12. they will probably be my lowest yielding plants, however the crystal production in particular the sensi star looks second to none.

MY TWO CENTS....................Not sure if the airpots will improve yields but I reckon they do accelerate the growth and I got little to none transplant stress, although potting up with them was a pain and the learning curve for watering them was tiresome at times they have impressed me enough to use them and them only in future grows.
