Hey all
First time poster. relatively new to the site. just been watchin until now.
Ive grown before in a small cutout i made into my attic without much of an investment. Recently received my card for the michigan medical program so i figured since its legal finally i'd go all out.
I built two rooms in my basement and put deadbolts on the door.
The veg room is the bigger of the two
I have a bench against one wall with a cloner and seeds start tray under a 2 foot 4 bulb t5. It's about 10x10. I covered the walls in a bubble wrap thats reflective on both sides. don't remember what its called though.
For the cloner I put mix in Super Thrive and clonex. For the seeds I pot them in red party cups filled with jiffy seed starter. I foliar feed the little girls with super thrive.
Once they are a good set or two in I transplant to veg
For Veg I have a 12 bulb Quantum bad boy VHO t5. Any one else usin a bad boy out there? i couldnt find much on them. I put 8 grow and 4 bloom in. And have it about 2 feet above the tops.
For veg i use 5 gallon pots and am testing different soils right now. I put 4 plants in Pro mix, 6 in ffof, 6 in roots organic. I foliar feed them with super thrive until a week before I send them to veg. I dont top them and try not to clip unless i have to. I veg for about a month or until they are a foot tall. For the pro mix ive been using bio grow that i got as a free sample.
I circulate the air with a 16" air king and a small table fan for the bench.
The flower room is about 8x4 and is also covered in reflective material. For now i have a 600 w hps. Its a daystar ac hood hooked to a hydrofarm exhaust fan then vents outside. I bought a solarmax for it but am hopin to get a philips son-t agro when i can find someone that sells it. The ballast is a dual 600 by lumatek. Im hoping to add a Co2 system and a second 600 w hood. I feed with bio bloom that came in the sample pack.
Not sure if I left anything out ha.
For my first grow i went too far with the strains too.
By seed I started 16 for this run.
1 Colorado Indica
4 AK-48
1 Quiksilver freebie from attitude
1 Purple haze
1 Moby Dick freebie from attitude
2 La Confidential x skunk
1 OG 18 x skunk
2 Kushberry x skunk
2 Sleestack x skunk
I started them in seperate shot glasses and cups that were filled with luke warm water on December 31st. After a couple hours they sunk and I put them in moist paper towel in a different box. They popped over night then i put them in the jiffy.
Ill update more on them tomorow when i can get some pics. I will be postin mostly about these for the rest of the journal.
In other parts of the room I have 3 in the cloner; pluto kush, northern berry, and apollo 11.
I have two mothers under the 4 bulb 2 foot; pluto kush and northern berry.
three in the flower for a week; 2 northern berry and a pluto kush.
Ill be updating more later once my camera is ready. A couple taste pics for now from the other day.
that was a lot of typing.
The pic of the AK-48
BTW let me know what you guys think!
