Yeah, I may have over compensated with the fan. It puts out 4k cfm on high. On low i even threw on a fan speed controller to drop the fan speed down a little more. Without it on low the bulb moves. Not a lot but a little. Havent really done any reading on if the bulb moving is ok. if so then ill proly crank it up a little more. Well see how it goes. Right now the heat in their is a stable 74 degrees. So now its just making sure that the plants get good circulation.

As a bonus, those binder clips make it real easy to remove it or put it on. Those things are such a fucking win. lol.

If you're just talking about the bulb swinging a bit in the breeze that's fine.

Right on.
So I had ordered a worm inn and 1k worms. Both came in last night. Had to make a last min night run to get pvc, but we got the worms into their new home. Not much else to update on right now. Looking at a few weeks till the plants fill out a little. However that clone may end up getting xplanted sooner. Thats going to be the biggen.

More to come, I hope that everyone has a safe New Years!

Ive never done a grow log. Ive seen a lot of them. So lets get this started. Keep in mind that im still putting everything together. I have a monthly budget.

First run will be 4 clones of C99. I was growing C99 for about 2 years now. I know it well in Hempy buckets. Should be about the same as soil. After this initial run ill be throwing a few other strains in as regulars. Sugar Black Rose and Northern Lights Blue. Ill be running up to 6 different trains.
Current Gentics on hand.
Blim Burm C99
Eva Jamaican Dream
Strain Hunters Money Maker
Delicious Sugar Black Rose
Delicious Sugar Candy
Delicious Northern Light Blue
Eve Missing in Barcelona*
Humboldt Bubbas Gift*
Humboldt 707 Truthband*
Humboldt Amherst Sour Diesel*
* freebies

LIGHTS
Veg is a 4 bulb t5 for starters 600 watt MH Barebulb for veg and training. 18/6 lights. After started and xplanted, the plants will start at 300w for a week or 2ish then jump to 600w.

Bloom is duel 1ks MH and HPS barebulbs. Lights here a little different. Ill be doing the first 1.5 hours of 12 with just the mh on. Then the HPS will kick on and the MH will kick off at 10.5 hours. Saves a little on electricity and mimics the sun as the day progresses. then in the last 12 days ill shorten it down to a 10 hour day with 8 hours of both lights and a hour of each.

MEDIUM
20 gallon Geo pots with 18.5 gallon of organic soil. Coots recipe. Each pot will have a quarter pound of European night crawlers and a small handful of red wigglers.

Compost will be 2/3 dutch white clover, 1/3 compost cover from the prior harvested plant. Vermicomposting will happen inside the pot. No worm farm as of now. Going to see if I can just do it in the pot. Well see.

These are No-till pots. The plants will be offset in the pot. 1plant per pot. All worms will go in 2 weeks prior to going to bloom this first round. Each pot is resting on a hand made plant holder with lava rock in it on caster wheels.

FEED

Nutrient will be same as what's already in my soil. Sprinkled after each harvest. 2 cups per pot.
Gypsum, Neem meal, Kelp meal, Crab meal, and Karanja meal. Foiler with Aloe, neem oil, and Agsil. I may do a Coconut water drench every now and then, we'll see.

Watering will be done with a C-frame sprayer. .8gph@25psi. Pots will stay moist. No wet/dry cycles. Veg by hand, Bloom will be on a timer.

SCROG/ GROW AREA


Each plant will have its own 36"x48"h screen. Plants will be tied back to it. veg area is about 6x6. bloom is 8x8. 4 plants per cycle. I wont be using all the room in the 8x8 but its the space i have to use.

Still have stuff coming in. Over the next few weeks.
As I complete construction on the bloom ill upload some pics.

got a cutting of a very very sad remaining plant in a hempy bucket. root rot, un attended. Most of the plant was dead but that one main shoot. So we cut the top off and threw it in a 3 gallon pot. As soon as it big enough to take cutting we.ll be off and running.
what kinda h2o manifold is that in main pic.?

Went ahead and xplanted the SBR and NLB. Going to give the JD another week. Looks like its tap root got going the wrong way, it should straighten itself out. Didnt take any pics. Popped seeds on the 12/19. So a solid 30 days for the first 2, im sure the third would have been the same had it not gone in wrong.

Couple of things to note,
That center fan really drys out the ouside of the pots. Ill have to run the timer more frequently. for less time so it dont dry out.
The C99 is going to be ready way before the other ones. will be interesting.

Ok so my work schedule changed and i have been busy as shit. Few things of note since i was last here.

Due to how long it take for the pots to dry out or seem like they need water is while. Its hard to judge how moist they are with out rooting around in them. Im using a moisture meter and pretending were outside. Some days i water 15 min. other for 10. did 20 min awhile ago. The timer works. I dont really use the schedule on it as the seals in all of that is too much to be under all the time. So I go in set the timer for 15 min turn it on and come back to it. More of a auto shut off should i get high and forget its running. (thats happened twice, hence the timer lol).

Jamican dream is taking forever. Its just now finally starting to get over xplant shock. Finicky strain. Anyway, on the pics.

Lookin good man. That Cindy looks nice, I got a couple seedlings going that will be getting verted also

I use Tropf Blumats for my auto watering. Set em up correctly one time and forget about it! They use ceramic comes to gauge moisture level and water accordingly. Perfect watering no matter what stage of growth

Hey buddy, I just wanted you to know that I just went out and bought reflective material to use on the back of my trellis, just like you're doing. It seems that a lot of people are doing it, binder clips and all.

There's a debate going on, too; Orca vs Panda. What's your preference?

and exspensive as hell. I got maybe 50 bucks invested in auto watering. for 8 plants.
