1st journal, 10 strains (seeds, clones, mothers)

So, I've decided to start a grow journal since RIU has helped me out soooo much, so far. Hope you enjoy. Questions, comments are welcome.


Strains:
- (seed) G13 Labs,"Pure Power Fem."
- (seed) Barneys Farm,"Blue Cheese Fem." .
- (seed) World of Seeds, (Medical Collection) "Northern Lights xBig Bud Fem. "
- (seed) World of Seeds "Afghan Kush Fem."
- (seed) G13 Labs,"Northern Lights X Skunk Fem."
- (seed) Paradise Seeds, "White Berry Fem."
- (clone) Greenhouse, "NL5xHaze mist Fem."
- (clone) Greenhouse, "Strawberry haze Fem."
- (mother) Sensi seeds, "Big Bud Fem.,"
- (mother) Greenhouse, "Trainwreck Fem."

I've been growing the Big Bud, Trainwreck (hince) mothers. I currently have the NL5xHM & Strawberry Haze in Bloom (hince) clones. I've recently received my order from the Attitude (hince) seeds.

Seedling care/method:
...I placed the seedlings in "rapid rooters", soaked with RO H2O, placed on a seedling heating pad and put them under a humidity dome. All but the white berry were cracked within 2 days. Wisely, I ordered 2 of each seed, just in case something like this was to happen. The white berry is now on her way, just a few days behind. I planted in Happy Frog....They were placed under 2x 4ft. 40w cool white flos, 24/0 lighting. These will all be mothers and transplanted into Happy Frog or Fox Farm's Ocean Forest (grow big & cal./mag fertz.)

Clone care/method:
...I use an ezcloner w/ simple tap water ph balanced @ 6.0, keeping res. temps around 70. After 10 days they're ready for veg. I use one single 40 w cool white flo,24/0 lighting

I Donot use rockwool cubes, or anything of the sort @ this point like many others do. I simply transplant directly into clay pebbles (hydroton)....saves $$$



My Veg Setup:
- 8 x 5700k cfl's
- 72, 3 in. netted pots
- clay pebbles for medium (hydroton)
- 3x3 flood bed (ebb N' flow) w/ 25 gal. res.
- Flora micro, flora bloom (lucas formula), ph down, cal./mag.
- 18/6 lighting

My Bloom Setup:
- 2 x 600 HPS (air cooled hoods) w/ digital ballast, hortilux bulbs
- Airtight, 7ft x 8ft x 7ft space
- double hose a/c unit (temps range 70 - 85F)
- Each light will have a 3x3 flood bed (ebb N' flow) w/ 25 gallons res.
- I will be using General Hydroponics - FloraMicro, and FloraBloom (Lucas Formula), Cal./mag., pH down, RO water & tap (pH range 5.5 - 6.o)
- 36, 6 in. x 6 in. square pots(each table)
- I will be using a Greenair CD-6LP co2 burner w/ monitor. The co2 will be @ 1500ppm all times during bloom.
- I'll be running a sulpher burner 3 times, 1/2 hour each burn during the dark photo period.
- I'll be running a dehumidifer 1/2 hour on, 1/2 off (constant cycle, humidity range 30 - 50%)
- and ofcouse a huge oscillating fan 24/0

...these were tripped @ 8 inches, put in one gallon bags of FFOF, under 2 600watt HPS (hortliux) Organic teas for bloom fertz = (Seabird guano, bat guano, kelp, molesses, earthworm casting) I fertlized @ wk#3-6, once weekly.

...lollipop'd @ wk#2, fan leaves removed @ wk# 5. No co2, fresh air only. Yielded 1.5 lbs. dry.

...I'd wouldn't suggest anyone doing a SOG w/ soil as I have here, it was a full time job! LOL Never again!

...this is a clone, of a clone, of a clone, of a clone, of a clone, of a clone...LOL , REALLY! My Dutch passion's, Blueberry fem.!

NL5xHM is slowly doing her magic, however the Strawberry haze is goin crazy!

...all are a little over 3 weeks old (except the white berry, it's 2wks) , in Happy Frog, under 2x 40 watt flos

The PPP seems to be outgrowing the other 5 seedlings, the AK right behind it. ....again, the WB is a little behind, the 1st didn't germ. (1st plant = wb)

...here's a look at my bud room, while we're at it. The room is twice this size, can't get it all on cam...it's twice the plants also.

...an up close gander. Each plant is around 18' - 22' tall . (BB & TW) ...and I clip the holy hell out of my fan leaves, btw.
---WORK'N THE SHIT OUT OF THESE 600's!
I see light on my soil surface and they LOVE IT! ( keep'ahhhhh watch'n me!)
... (pic 2) Strawberry Haze

...here's an update on the Dutch Passion's Blueberry Fem. ...I'm let'n her grow more before I cut some babbies.

Hey whats up trichlone fiend, I've been watching this thread closely and what you are doing looks amazing. I bought some seeds and I wanted to ask you about your germination method. The question is do you use the the same method for all your seeds or strains? I was asking because these were expensive and I want them to sprout. I just wanted to add that you are doing a great job, I love this Thread. thanks for the pics.
