Whats up guys, I'm back after a simi-long hiatus to have some more growing fun with everyone. I wanted to do some testing with some double ended HPS so hopefully you will join me for the ride. Currently I am vegging mothers to take clones in a week. This is what we are using.
Clone Area:
- Open Space no tent.
- 4ft 4 Bulb T5 AgroBrite
- Clone King 36 Site Aeroponic Cloning Machine
Veg Area:
- Open Space no tent.
- 4ft 8 Bulb T5 with Eye Hortilux PowerVeg Bulbs
- 3 Gallon Smart pots
- Fox Farm Happy Frog Soil
- Botanicare Full Pro Line Nutrient Schedule
Flower Area:
- Grow Tent 96x48x80
- 2x Hydroplanet™ Double Ended Air Cooled Hood Hydroponic Grow Lights Kit DE Reflector Hood With Dimmable Digital Ballast HPS LAMPS Horticulture Plant Grow System Set
- 6ft Light Rail
- 3 Gallon Smart Pots
- Fox Farm Happy Frog Soil
- Botanicare Full Pro Line Nutrient Schedule
- VenTech VT IF6+CF6-B Inline Exhaust Blower Fan with Carbon Filter and Variable Speed Controller, 440 CFM, 6" (For Odor Control)
-VenTech IF6 6" Inline Duct Fan 440 CFM (For Pulling Cold Winter Air from outside thru the lights for cooling)
-2x Holmes HAOF90-UC Blizzard Oscillating Table Fans (for air circulation).
Strains to be tested: Lemon Bogglegum, Sweet Mendo Purps, Queen Mother Goji OG Kush, Dj Shorts Blueberry, Master Kush and UK Cheese. Others may be added as we go along but this is what I'm working with so far. All of these strains are from clone and a couple of the clones I got had been severely mistreated but they are bouncing back with some TLC.
At this point, I transplanted all clones except the Lemon Bogglegum into 3 Gallon Smart Pots yesterday 9/7, The Lemon Bogglegum is the oldest and was transplanted into a 5 gallon regular ol' pot before I purchased the smart pots. The Cloner came in today but its gonna be a week, maybe a week and a half before all the plants are ready to take cuttings from. All of the equipment will be coming in throughout the next 30 days, my hopes as far as a schedule is concerned is:
9/16: Cut Clones
9/30: Move Clones from Cloner to 3 Gallon Smart Pots
10/7: Begin Veg Cycle for 4 weeks 18/6 Light Schedule
11/4: Move Veg plants into Flower Tent 18/6 under the Double Ended HPS for 1 week to harden them off
11/11: Begin Flowering 12/12 Light Schedule
1/6-1/13: Harvest depending on strain finishing times
This is a tentative schedule, subject to change but hopefully it will be the permanent schedule. Here are the lovely ladies at the current moment!
