Hello all, I've got a little project underway that I've finally gotten around to posting about. I've used this site to learn a lot, so I feel obligated to give back a little. This is my first time growing and I'm not much when it comes to journaling about things, so bear with me. I set up the grow in a closet and threw some Mylar on the walls. Let's talk about the components:
EQUIPMENT
PLANTS
(all fem. seeds except bagseeds purchased from The Single Seed Centre)
I germinated and planted the seeds around May 1st. They started in peat pellets which supposedly protected them from nutrient burn, then grew into small peat pots filled with Ocean Forest. Luckily for me, all the seeds, including the bagseeds, sprouted into females.
They were grown for about two weeks on a 24/0 regimen under the four 26w CFLs, then moved under the 600w MH with the same regimen and transplanted to Pro Mix in pots. At the beginning of June I began using the House & Garden nutrients supplemented by the Liquid Karma, feeding/watering them once a week each Friday.
By around June 15th, they had filled out a nice canopy and I switched to 12/12 under the 600w HPS bulb. I continued to feed and water only on Friday but switched the supplement to Bloombastic.
If my estimate is correct they have been flowering for about 2 weeks. I'm not sure which day they actually started to flower. Today I bent and pinched a number of the taller plants so my canopy could be more even and added 2 of the 26w CFLs as supplements on the sides.
I will now try to post some pictures. So, questions, comments, advice? Any kind of constructive criticism is more than welcome. I'm also willing to post more pictures; just let me know what you want to see.
