EPIC Blue cheese grow....

Danthebull · Sep 11, 2010

Hi everyone. :joint:

Firstly i would just like to mention to all tho's who were with me for my first grow, a big thank you for all your comments and advise it was muchly apreciated.

So here I go with my next grow... :weed:

New room set up.

So after my last grow i decided that i would uptake the black/white pvc and the gaffa tape i had on the floor as this was not able to contain any excess water from the runoff or from flushing. When i took up the said gaffa and pvc i was shocked at what state the carpet looked like. It was black with mold and sodden damp. So i ripped out the carpet and used Jays fluid to scrub the floor and walls. I used my dehumidifier to completly dry up the room, then i repeted the process 2 more times to make sure no nasty's were being left behind.

I then set about building a drainage system, Using timber to build a frame and pvc to catch any water. ( see pics ) I set this at an angle down to the entrance of the room and then used a container i have to collect the run off. ( see pics ) I will be using a pump to flush the plants in the room and another pump in the container to pump out the run off to my outside garden. I then built in a level platform from (tanalised) <<< water proofed timber for the pots to sit on. ( see pics ) Making the frame has made it a dam sight easier to clean the room too.

I purchased 2 new 6 inch cooltubes to fit the room and have them hanging with yoyo's. ( see pics ) This is all connected with 6 inch flex foil duct and then i have installed insulated duct in the attic to mask any heat. ( see pics ) I have kept one of my older 600w lights as this keeps the room at the perfect temp. but i may change this during my grow to another cooltube at some point.

I have moved out my exhaust fan and fitted them on one of the rafters in the attic. ( see pics ) and also changed the positioning of my AC unit intake ducts so that they can have a better spread of oxygen. ( see pics ) I removed the noisy 4" intakes altogether.

I have installed a technics Power star 8 way transformer in the attic and have the plugs from my lights and fans out of the room. ((( Safety first and that )))

I then went and purchased a Hortibox 1.2m x 1.2m x 2m tent ( see pics )so i can use it for cloning and veging. I built in a timber frame and added a T5 light to the top and 2 of my blue 125w CFL to the bottom. ( see pics ) I will be adding another 125w CFL to the bottom when the time come. And a fan. I also purchased 3 propagation tents 1 large 2 small for my clones to sit in. ( see pics ) All three are heated tents to help along with the cloning process.

I purchased some Barneys farm fem Blue cheese seeds x10 about 8-9 weeks ago. ( see pics ) Ans as soon as they arrived i was quick to germ them and pot the 7 that that broke shell in to small pots of coco. And over the last 7-8 weeks have veged them to a copable size for cloning. ( see pics ). 7 days ago i took 150 clones from them and they are now sat in the tents gaining a root mass. In 1 more weeks time i will move the clones to the room to start veg stage. Im not sure how many or how long im going to veg as yet but i will cross that bridge when i come to it. Im also going to take another 200 clones from the mothers in a weeks time and then i will be growing out the mothers with there daughters, but keeping 5-6 of the clones behind as 2nd gen mothers.

I have also just picked up 5 PPP clones from my brother who did not take care of them, they look in a sorry state but i think with some TLC i could bring them back and try keeping them as mothers too.... ( hoping anyway )

I also have some new 13 liter square pots and will be using these for ether 1 plant or splitting the pots with plastic in to 2 or 4 compartments. This is sort of an experiment to see what i can yield from SOG method V's veging... ( see pics )

Also i have some potting containers that hold 28 plant each. I will be using these for the clones when they show root. Then its just a case of transplanting to larger pots. I will also use some of these container for a friend who wants 1000's of clones. and at £6 a clone, well you work it out...

I have taken a picture of my nutes and as you can see i'm sticking with the CANNA products line. I think i should have enought to be going on with for a while....lol

Im Using CANNA pro Coco, perlight and clay pellets as i did in my first grow.

Ok so thanks for checking me out and i hope you come along for the ride. I will be updating on a regular basis and adding pics of everything new, developments, changes. etc etc...

All comments good or bad welcomed...

jimmycent · Sep 11, 2010

jimmycent is back in the muthafuckin hoouuusssseee! how goes it dan lad, good hols? room looks the shit, like a polar bear on roller skates. one question tho, y do the drainage table, i mean its impresive and all, but why go through so much hastle? you coulda built a hydro or aero setup just as easy and woulda been real easy to clean and maintain. not meant in a negative way just curious. also SUUUUUBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBEEEEEEEEDDDDDD.BRING ON THE CHEESE. whoop whoop

Hi pal. Its sort of a secret with the hanging of the CFL's.....lol only messing. Yeah just hooks and string for now... This will change.

Erm yeah, yield, good question. Well Im expecting the worst but hoping for the best... <<< quote to people who know me.

I'd like to get half what i got from my last grow. but i think it may be as high. Dont rteallty want to count my chickens and that mate...

Anyways thanks for your Q and hope your along for the ride.....

dam dan, looks to be another great grow on the way. and i think that the sayng expect the worse and hope for the best should be every ones motto, that way they dont get to upset when they dont get what they expect to of got. im subbed and here for the great grow. and whats the total amount of watts in the flower room, all i saw is that you had the one six hundred but i know theri is more then that. and the PPP clones are pure power plant right if so right on, they are very heavy producers with great smoke. i was being supplied with it for at least 6 months and the buds were always huge and very tasty.
im looking forward for every thing to come.

mcpurple · Sep 11, 2010

i just noticed that you posted your thread in the newbie central forum. why? im just curious

Hey Purp nice to have you along for the ride bro.

Yeah i have 3 x 600's and will be supplimenting with 4 x 125w red spec CFL when the time comes. The total Watts will be 2300w but i may add another 600 instead of the CFL's depending on what canopy starts to look like in flower. I was also considering a light mover with just 2 x 1000w but may just hold this back until my next grow.

I had PPP for my last grow and your very much right about the size of this strain. Im going to use the 5 PPP i just picked up as mothers, But they probably wont be of any size to clone for about 6 weeks. But they are defo going in on my next grow. I will be taking clones from them but thats just going to be so i can sell them on. And take some to a mate who lets just say lives in the Vallies of Wales... ( you know who you are )

In answer to your other post. I have started this thread in the Newbie section as i still class myself as a new grower. I mean i only have just the 1 grow under my belt. After this grow i might start to think of myself as having the exp to go into the general section. May be anyway...lol Still lots of thing that im learning and Different ways of growing too.

Im bang on into researching again and this grow is sort of an experiment to see what is the best way to get the most from the space i have.

Yo D83 lad.

Its still the same room just modified it somewhat. But incase i didn't mention its 2.2m x 2.2m x 2.6m so its not that massive of a space to use. But it is going to be just for flowering the plants.

Have done quite alot since i harvested and had some of the monopoly money to play with...

Started by going to Vegas then on to Thiland and Cambodia came home for 2 days then set of to Goa india... I was going to china but decided that i would go back to Cal n to Yosemity to do some base jumping.. From there i went on a lads hol to Ayia napa. Im planning to go away again at the beginning of next year for a few months. Think thats about it...

Oh and you better be Sub'd DUH!!!!!! lol

I think I will be watching this one, I just bought some Blue Cheese seeds from Big Buddha, so maybe I could get some nice tips on how to grow it properly like a pro.

Good Luck.

i like the 600s more then the 1000 watters but it would be less room with only 2 lights. and by the success of your first grow i dont think anyone would think your were new to growing, but i understand at least your honest after a first grow like that alot of growers would claim to be pros. i to still have alot to learn but that is all on hold now cuz i cant grow or smoke
