Perpetual aero veg.

Hey guys.. Ive done an indoor closet grow and an outdoor summer grow so far.

Lately I have been trying to think of a good way to get a cycle going. i was thinking...

Im using an aero garden 6 to start the first round of seeds off, complemented with 5- 150w and 2- 300w cfl bulbs.. the bulbs are soft white. I know cool white are better for veg, but will it make that much difference? im not sure if i can find these wattages in cool white around me.

After sexing and removing males I will keep the females and clip clones to fill the aero again...

at this point I will have six clones beginning to root(hopefully) and 2 plants moved from the aero to outside during the daytime and inside at night.

after about another four weeks I will clip more clones and replace them with the existing rooted clones.. and those will be put outside..

please tell me if you think this is a good method for the summer time, combining an indoor veg with outdoor flowering

I have started with 5 bagseed, im not sure if all will sprout... so I ordered 5 (f) Supergirl seeds just in case.

...so fotunately this is more of a trial run, but I dont have much time to mess around before summer comes and my sunny months quickly pass by.

here's what i've got.

Nice setup, do you have a fan and thermostat? I bet it gets hot with those bitches on.. other than that, it looks like you're set.

theres a fan in the corner and i have dig therm to make sure it doesnt get too hot.

Cool deal man, can't wait to see this kick off.

you and me both my man.. I get so INTO it lol. Its the greatest hobby ever. I want to order some seeds and eventually set up a flowering cab so I dont need to deal with this summer flowering bullshit.

Indeed..


You could always try some kind of auto strain for outdoor, dutch passion taiga fem seeds aren't too pricey last time I checked.

Or maybe even some other auto strain.

I have had success with attitude seed bank. I got my seeds in 6-8 total days from when attitude shipped them, I'm in the southern US

3 seed pick n' mix feminized, was exactly what I wanted.

Lookin good man, sounds likes a good idea, i like how you have your lights set up, keep us posted

speaking of those seeds I just bought some... MOC Little Devil Feminized!

Little Devil (formerly known as Pure Lowryder) is an autoflowering strain, developed for those who have little space, but great ambitions. This plant is unique in many ways, but the first thing that comes in mind is her ability to flower automatically: the plant will start to flower after about 2 1/2 weeks from the germination.

idk lol sounded like a good idea, especially if i clone these.. they could be even smaller.

you cant clone lowryders tho

balls!

..ah thats ok. it should be fun for the off season anyways..

anyone know anything about supergirl?

Compliments of ViRedd


Nope ... you don't have to "sacrifice" the female. Here's what to do:

Take the female into a neutral room, like the bathroom ... away from your grow. Take a small, plastic trash bag and cut a small hole into it. Now put the trash bag over the female plant, and stick one branch out of the hole you cut into the bag. Take some twist-ties and tie the bottom of the bag so that nothing can get in.

Take some pollen from the male plant by shaking over some paper ... then collect a little pollen. Don't do this around any of your other females or the one in the bathroom either. *lol*

OK, now you have a little pollen on the paper, so collect it and put it in a small container. Now, take the container into the bathroom and use a small artist brush to apply the pollen to the buds on the branch sticking through the bag. Leave the pollenated female in the bathroom for 24 hours and destroy the male ... or whatever else you were going to do with it.

Also, after the pollentation exercise, take a shower and change your clothes so you won't get pollen on your other plants.

When the 24 hours are up, use a spray bottle with plain water in it and spray the pollentated branch to be sure to get all the unused pollen off of the branch. Then, move the female back into your grow area.

That's about it ... hope this helps you out.

looking nice bro. i like how clean you got things. thats wat im talking bout.

thanks.. its just my perfectionist nature hah.


i was wondering if this looks good to any of you.. considering i did buy the wrong sectrum bulbs i was considering buying this.. in the vegging package.

i could stand it upright directly infront of the aero.. would it hurt to use the soft white also?

VEGETATIVE CONFIGURATION
Includes Two 65K Spirals and one 50K Tube style bulb. Best for pure vegetative purposes.


or

DELUXE PACKAGE+$70
For the ultimate setup possible. Includes a total of five 105 watt light bulbs; two 30K Spirals, two 65K Spirals and one 50K Tube style bulb. Can be set up to be used for both the pure vegetative and the pure flowering configurations.

that looks legit

Ive decided not to go with this and i will use the aero bulbs + 6 100w cfl's cool white bulbs for now.

Since I am one of those people who has to worry about energy costs, heat, stealth; I have been considering using a Red LED 110-130V AC Panel Grow Light 60W=900W to flower .

the grow area is small, with at most 6 plants... I want max yields without using hps. Please comment

Don't use LED lights. They are way overrated. The buds will be very wispy. Stick with cfl's or better yet, a mh for vegging and an hps for flower. If you can get a combo hid mh/hps setup, that would give you the best results. Either a 250 w or 400 w would do nicely

That's an LED grow journal I would watch if you're interested in the potential of the newest LEDs. He's using one of the 120 watt grow panels from High Tech Garden Supply.
