Hey guys,
I am back for another grow. Haven't posted much, but that will soon change once I get my tent all set up.
I have ordered just about everything I need.
4x4x7 grow tent
4 DWC 5 gallon 6" net pots
10L hydroton
pH meter
pH calibration solution
GH pH up & down powder 2.2 lbs
TDS meter
4 light ratchet hanging things
What I already had (have some short threads with pictures of previous grows)
300 watt LED runs at about 180 watts
100 watt Blackstar LED runs at about 55 watts
CO2 tank and regulator (might not run CO2 till flower)
What I need to add
Exhaust fan and carbon scrubber (once I find out the dimensions of the exhaust ports)
fan speed control
Nutrients I HAVE
GH grow powder
GH Koolbloom
H&G Magic Green (foliage spray)
Nutrients I want to add to this grow
H&G Aquaflakes instead of GH grow
Liquid Karma
Hygrozyme
Bud candy
Big bud (I still plan to use Koolbloom since it isn't used till about the last week Big bud is used)
Here's the fun part (for me at least)
My last grow I stressed my plants and let them flower longer than normal (cut the main colas and big buds before) to hopefully hermaphrodite a few (running low on seeds and I was not able to grow for the next 8 months or so). My attempt was a success and all the plants ended up with seeds, some only had a couple some had like 20+.
The fun part is that I had 6 different strains growing, Great White Shark, 2 White Widows, Skunk 11, Mekong high, Spicy White Devil, and a Blueberry Gum. A couple of them hermied, I think they were GWS, WW, S11, there could of been more but all the bud has gone up in smoke, I found the bananas on those strains for sure though. The skunk had the most seeds by around 30 probably, then the GWS, followed by 1 of the WWs and a Blueberry Gum. The other plants had less than 10 seeds.
So what I am getting at is the white widow pheno that was more potent but maybe less yield (might just of been the position in the tent) is the plant I am going to use the seeds from first for this grow,
The cross could be WWxGWS, WW#1xWW#1, WW#1xWW#2, or WWxS11.
The GWS pheno was high yielding and not as potent as the WW, the skunk was the fastest grower out of the plants with very good yield, not as potent as the WW. Pretty much all the plants were dense, not rock hard but this grow wasn't nearly the best I have done, only vegged a couple weeks got maybe 3-4oz from them all combined, had to rush things as I was moving out.
I am stoked to grow 4 of these seeds out and pick the clones from the best pheno to keep growing.
oh and one question. Does this mean I get to name the strain?? haha that would be awesome.. Hakuna Matata.. because I'm not worried about the crosses as long as they are fat dense and potent buds.
I'll definitely get some photos up once my grow tent is all situated. Stay tuned!![Wink ;-) ;-)](/styles/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
oh yeah, I have been seriously debating whether or not to get one of the 1000w LEDS (550 watt actual draw), saw some post on YT that a guy was getting 2 lbs easy from about 600 watts of LEDs (it was a Mars II 1200, he could be lying, didn't see proof)
