Howdy you fine folks of RUI. I have been lurking for over a year now, and have a few successful grows under my belt, so I figured it was about time I started a grow thread of my own. I have soaked up a LOT of knowledge from this site, plus a few books, and still learn by trial and error. I am not claiming to be a pro by any means, as I know I will continue to learn for many years to come. I am always open to advice as well.
Here we go... I am getting rid of some old mother's, and starting new ones from clones already taken and rooted.
The line up.
2x What I call Stinkberry. 1 mother 1 clone. I very nice bag seed I have grown through a few cycles now. Smells like stinky berries throughout flowering. I let her go 9 weeks+ (usually about 65 days) from flip, for a nice relaxing buzz. Great for before bed.
2x Great White Shark (GHS) 1 Mother 1 clone. A nice pheno with a great bud:leaf ratio. Killer buzz. I let her go 9 weeks+ (usually about 65 days) as well.
4 x God's Treat (Jordan of the Island's) 1 mother 3 clones. An awesome short strain, where the Sativa buzz really shines through. This is currently my go to Wake & Bake/Daytime smoke. Recommended is 6-7 weeks, and could be taken at the end of 7 for sure.. but I usually give her 8 for nice ambers.
1x Chemo (Jordan of the island's) 1 clone. One of my favorite strains to date. A Hard hitting indica that grows FAT dense nugs, with FAT trich's. One of those strains that give your trimmer's a run for their money. Have to clean them A LOT during harvest... She goes 8.5 weeks for best results (IMO). Don't plan on doing too much after some of this bud. Have a drink close by too.. Seems to get me really cotton mouthed..
4 x Blueberry Kush. 4 x seed. (Mother hunting) A close grower friend gave me these. Not sure the breeder, but he has been growing it for a while now, and it tastes like blueberry muffins/pancakes, with that oh so familiar Kush taste mixed in there. I have gotten baked many times on it, but this is my first time growing it. Of the 4 I popped, I am still waiting on sex, but cloned the one I would make a mother. Another 8.5 week strain.

All 3 mother plants are in 5 gal pots. 3 clones in 3 gals, and the 4 x seed plus 3 more clones are in 1 gals. Two of my mothers are under a ScRog, the rest normal, but have either been topped/LST/Super cropped or all 3. (Minus the 4 x seed. Would like to see how they grow before I go messing with them).
Nutes
Using Mostly Advanced Nutes. My watering schedule is currently Sunday's and Thursday's. They are usually begging for it by Thursday, and they get a nice feeding both night's.
A + B sensi (PH perfect) Veg / Bloom.
Bud Candy
Voodoo Juice
B-52
Big Bud.
Over drive
Sensizym
Piranha
Light
400w MH for veg. 18-6.
1000w Air cooled HPS (Magnetic) for flower.
My light is cooled by a 4inch 85w In line fan. It pulls cold air from the room outside my flower room (which is outside in a shed) then blows it through the air cool tube and outside, through a dryer vent. I have a heater, with a thermostat set at 18 d/cel, when lights are off. With lights on, temps range from 75-80, depending how cold/warm it is outside. Seems to hover around 78, with 55% RH.
Here is a quick comparison from the time I started veg, till a few days ago, when I flipped to Flower. Things will start to get interesting from here on in. I will try my hardest to update with pics once a week at least.
