So here we go again, my second grow. My first grow has shown me much. How big a mistake it can be to mix and match plants at different points of grow in the same system. Even though the plants where put together the fact that I put them in so soon before was a major issue with my final yield. This being said I have some left over clones of GC or the Cush. I'm going to keep this strain for now. All the clones and seedlings at this point have been given a slight amount of nutrients, about 50-100ppm of GH's Grow and micro(less than 1ml per gal of each). They are all currently being treated for root rot, due to the fact that I had that issue in my flowering room, and I'm worried about cross contamination. I've been using A Tea found on RIU and I realize it may conflict with my system, as it is low pressure aero(clogs and shit). I'm willing to take that risk to solve this root problem.
Here's a peak at the system specs.
Medium: Neoprene Collars(Switched from rockwool)
Nutrients: General hydroponics Flora, GH Micro, GH Grow, Botanicare Cal/MAG(Added Cal/MAG)
Tea: Botanicare ZHO, GH Ancient Forest, Botanicare Aquashield(Completely new)

Veg Aero/DWC with Bubble Buckets(Youtube, stinkbud cloner)
2x t5 Lights
1x Closet
2x 5 gal buckets
1x Aero Cloner 12 site
1x 15 L/min Air Pumps
1x 7.8 L/min Air Pump(1x for 2x mothers)
1x 21gal reservoirs
1x 380 GPH pump
1x 4x4 tent
1x 6 plant Flowering unit
Flower Aero(Stinkbud Sr.)
1x 4x4 tent
1x 6 plant Flowering unit
1x 380 GPH pump
1x 21gal reservoirs
1x 15 L/min Air Pumps
1x 600HPS light and digital ballast(switchable)
1x 600 MH Light bulb
Here is the new plan. I'm planning on vegging my clones until I get the screen I will make, with PVC, zip ties, and this new 2" x 2" chicken wire(square holes) that is going to be about 3' x 4'. This will sit about 9 inches from the top of the system. When this screen is full of plant material, I'm going to flip it. Thank you Lordjin for the outstanding scroging examples. I've been watching him do it for about 2 months and I think it's about my turn.
Lets talk about present. Currently I have 7 Cush plants growing in my veg room. Two of which are in bubble buckets. I've put the stronger cush plants inside the buckets. These seem to have healthy(somewhat) root systems right now or early stages of root rot. The tea seems to be helping everything thus far. The most notable factor is the explosive root growth in the past day or so(since initial treatment). Some roots still have issues but seem to be on the road to recovery. Beni microbes is working I hope.
The other plants currently in the veg room are 5 Blackberry and 1 Bubba Kush. These are going to be reserved for my third grow, or become mothers before that grow. However their progress will be logged as well as they continue to veg until that time. My hope is to get at least 1 mother out of them. I may Flower early just to see what the strain is like(for 1 plant) in a bubble bucket, in the flower room. However I doubt there will be room after the scrog is set up.
Will post pictures as often as updates, which will be a few times a week most likely.
My goal is over all healthier looking plants, energetic growth, and finally as a personal goal I would like to see a gram per watt. I plan to achieve this by not over feeding my plants, perfecting their environments, and using preventative measures to stop disorders in growth.
I am a California resident Medical Marijuana Card holder and a legal medical marijuana grower under Prop 215 and S.B. 420 and compliant.
Part of the reason I am logging this is so that I may have a reference for myself in order to properly identify issues with plants, should you think you see a deficiency in any of my plants please let me know. I don't mind other people sharing their thoughts or idea in my journal. Please feel free.
