First Grow Under Vipar A200( Afghan Skunk and CH9 Jack)

Alex281 · Jun 30, 2012

Hey Everyone!

At the moment i have one ch9 jack (feminised) and one afghan skunk clone inside a 2x2x4 tent. The plants have spent the last 2-3 weeks inside the tent with 6 cfl's. Before that, i had the jack under a single cfl.

I have the plants in hempy buckets (perlite/verm mix) and ive been feeding them some veg/micro from xnutrients. For flower, i plan on using maxibloom.

The light i have them under is an absolute beast, the light it emits is beyond intense. I just got it setup today and im planning on vegging the plants with it for about another week, maybe 2.

These 2 plants are going to be the first that i flower, besides these 2 plants, ive only had a giant 3 foot mother (afghan skunk) i recently moved outside. Hoping i can grow and share my experience with you all, looking forward to your input and any help i might need :bigjoint:

Hey All! Officially set the girls to 12-12 today, the jack really thickened up the last few days and i think shes ready to go. Now the fun starts

I've started adding maxibloom at one teaspoon per gallon. i love how it adjusts the ph, Hope it gives good results!

Amaximus · Jul 6, 2012

Time for the girls to explode. Cool beans, Alex. I look forward to these updates.
You vegged under cfls for 6 weeks... What is your cfl setup for veg?

i germinated it way before i had proper lighting, it changed from one cfl that was 6500k and next to a window to the tent that had 2 6500k and 4 2700k(All 23 watts from home depot). still grew pretty well though, it really began getting bushier when i put the led lights in. i hope it leaves space for my other plant!

I hear ya. We all seem to start off grandiose before we realize what we have got ourselves into. At the beginning of my first grow I germed 8 seeds before I had a proper place to grow them. I also only had 4x23w cfl's. Lol. It looks like you have your ducks all lined up now though. Just wait until your next grow when you veg with the vipar! I think you're going to be happy. :-P

hahahahahaa gotta love those cfl's, hopefully my next grow will be a perpetual and the current 2x2 tent will turn into the veg/mother tent.

Quite well! You can really see the effect of supercropping on the jack plant, all the lower growth reaches almost to where i fimmed the top of the plant. It also seems to be getting way more bushier which was a relief because i was somewhat disappointed by it stretchyness. The afghan skunk is coming a long nicely as well.

curly604 · Jul 11, 2012

looking real nice man! they all look very healthy great job on the supercropping too they took very well to it.

ErbMan87 · Jul 14, 2012

wooow alex good job bro! these are super wonderful plants :weed:

Its ya Old buddy :rolleyes:

Alex281 · Jul 16, 2012

Hey guys! Just thought i'd throw up a couple of pics :mrgreen:

All things seems to be going great. watering couldn't get any easier, at the moment im adding 1 teaspoon per gallon of maxibloom every watering and a couple of drops of superthrive the last couple waterings. The plants drink up pretty fast and need to be watered every 2nd day.

curly604 · Jul 17, 2012

looking really good man plants are filling up that space nicely

Amaximus · Jul 17, 2012

Thanks for tagging along guys, glad you like it! Going to do picture updates some time tomorrow or possibly the day after.

I started germinating 2 of the freebies i got and so far one of them sprouted(both are lemoneese). Also got 2 grapefruit and 1 gdp from some weed i got so we'll see if anything interesting comes from those. :mrgreen:
