**** Before I get started and before anyone else leaves any comments: 1. I am not seeking discussion on the subject of this web based journal. I am not here to convince anyone to change anything that they might not want to change. I am, kindly, sharing the results of what I happen to do within the small grow space and budget that I get to work with. 2. If I want additional information. I will do my own web based research and or will ask the individuals, I trust, for their thoughts. 3. Please, kindly, read this thread left behind by an administrator. ****
Technical details:
Grow space: A portion of my closet that is about 21in x 21in x 60in (53.3cm x 53.3cm x 1.52m). With Orca grow film on the walls and on top of the carpet.
Lighting Source: :
1. Main- LED (COB based) For details on the grow lights.
2. Supplementary- (Ultra Violet) Two 26 watt Exo-Terra Reptile CFL bulbs.
Lighting Schedules: 1. Vegetative phase: (Gas Lantern Routine) 12 on / 5.5 off / 1 on / 5.5 off 2. Flowering phase: (Diminishing light) Starting with 9 on / 15 off and decreasing down to, possibly, 6 on /18 off
Container: Starter pot- A one gallon Smart Pot "transplanter" pot. Finishing pot: A five gallon Smart Pot.
Grow Medium: THIRD RUN- 1. Amended ProMixHP (ProMixHP is sphagnum peat moss, with endo-micorrihaeza, a starter charge of Dolomite Lime, and perlite) The amendments added to the fresh ProMixHP include: a number of missing trace minerals such as boron, some rock powders, beneficial bacteria, and 19.5lb (8.85kg) of earthworm castings with an NPK ratio of 1-1-0. Excluding the earthworm casting, the additional amendments are included in the"Doc Bud's Kit."
Organic Nutrients: "Doc Bud's" High Brix Blend Kit.
Water: Tap water
Co2 source: An open window
Humidity control: Wet paper towels sticking out of a plastic bottle.
Genetics: Pre-1998 Bubba Kush - With additional web searching... The original genetics for pre-98 bubba kush is said to be OG Kush X West Coast Dawg X Old World Kush
Generally speaking:
1. Wikipedia Article: Brix
2. For information on "High Brix" gardening....read at your own pace....
3. For anyone who may not understand the vegetative lighting schedule... Hyperlink one. The lighting schedules I am using are not new at all. The vegetative lighting schedule is commonly used in large scale, "Commercial," greenhouses and will be found in college level horticultural books. Please, feel free to do your own web based study and make your own well informed and thought out decisions.
