This marks the end of a dry spell. Arrangements have been made to allow for me to grow for a third time around. As for anyone who remembers my last two grows, sadly my strain has been lost. However I have received seeds of an unknown strain, one seedling is up to the third or fourth set, and the others just started cracking.


specifics:
growspace:
Large walk in closet roughly 5 feet deep 10 feet wide and 8 feet high

lighting:
2x 400 watt hps (one has a digital conversion ballast, the other standard magnetic.)
1x 150 watt hps
4x 4ft t-12 flouro strips

medium:
Pro-mix

Nutrients:

homemade compost tea (will demonstrate)


I will post pics sometime soon, not much to see yet.

Heres a few pics.. the first four are what it would look like if you walked in and looked left then right. when I begin flowering the left side will be partitioned obviously, need some more Mylar..and a humidifier. but other than that I'm off to a good start.


comments please, needing info on starting a cycle if anyone has some. I'm pretty sure I know how but tips would be nice

well, I checked up on the situation today, and ka'plah! 4 of 6 seeds sprouted so far, they're now in jiffy pellets. Our plant seems to be liking the 400 watter much more that the t-12s it was under, plenty of new growth just in the past 24 hours, changed from a 24/0 to an 18/6 light schedule. just got new humidity and temperature gauges, still need to get some pro-mix and mylar..

doin pretty good, consistent temps, had to start using a humidifier as the relative humidity was at like 25%, made a baffle box for my outtake, stapled pot pics up everywhere just because.
my plant is obviously indica dominant.

I'll say one good thing about fucking MG, it holds its moisture well.. not getting any nute burn from it. still switching to promix asap but at least this bullshit didn't fail me in a pinch.

nah, I'd rather stick with what I know this time around, besides I need more things for it and I'm broke, plus I can cram more plants in this way!

well, I got a better fan, a good squirrel cage, for ten bucks. temps are now around 78 and we can keep the door closed. I also found a pre-flowering pot plant in the alleyway behind my house, it is about a foot tall kinda scraggly and stressed for sure, but its female I took a clone potted it, hope it might live. its definitively female. will post pics sometime.

Nice find on the one female. Do you find that you get hot spots when you use the emergency blankets? I have two of them and I haven't had to use them for survival (yet, I AM in the USA and the costly Federal War on You, Me, Our Familiy's) plus the fact that we have a Federal Reserve UN Bank controlling everything, we'll be broke soon) so I thought I might use them in my future grow rooms. I like your little setup. It has everything you need; and it is what it is. Well done.

Sweet, a grower in alaska, what area roughly if i may ask? I used to go fishing up in soldotna/homer area every summer from 91 till 04.
Its awesome to see someone up there growing ;) plus rep.
The one thing would never miss about the place is that your mosquitos are out of control, I still have some of those mosquito(mini bear traps) from the gift shops around lol(please tell me you know what I'm talking about lol)
