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 Candy

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.

Clover is coming in faster then expected. Not that i dont have plenty of it. Local nursery sold me a 5 lb bag for 16 bucks. All is well.

Right on, looks like I'm in on the ground floor!

Do the screens roll with the pots? You'll want each corner to go together as a unit and hold itself up so you can roll them back and work on the inside. It does not look like the connection between pot and trellis is very solid as yet but you have awhile to work on it.

Yes, the screens and pots stay together. Once all the pots are in place they will be connected together to hold the over all weight. as of right now, just have 2' bamboo stakes down in the dirt to hold the screens when i move it to bloom or work on tying back plants.

I'm looking forward to seeing how these big no till pots work.

Been doing a lot of reading on CMH vs HPS. Im considering a couple of the 860 cmh lights rather then hps. Anyone got an opinion on this?
Yep. Unless you're getting your CMH lighting for cheap, save your money for COB LED. PM me for cheap sources.

So talk about the website being weird the last couple of days. Anyway, thought I would throw up an quick update.
Got the screens finished. If you ever decide to add mylar/pandafilm to your vert cages, go on amazon and order a a few of the small binder clips. Started out using yarn to "sew" them to the screens. That was time consuming and throat punchy. Binder clips, amazon prime 2 day shipping = more compliant female assistant. Seriously save yourself that fucking headache. Lol

I thought of doing what you did with the panda film, I decided against it for airflow reasons. I'm interested to see how it works for you.
