I am going to be starting a new grow within a few weeks. I just ordered all new equipment, and am going to be ordering seeds in a few days.

Seeds:

So far i have ordered:

the last strain will be paradise seeds sensi star, which will be ordered in a day or two.


INFO ON GROW:

This will obviously be a soil grow indoors. The room is about 15 feet long and 10 feet wide. The walls are painted flat white for reflection. The light will be aircooled so i shouldn't need an air conditioner although it will be used if i can't keep the temps low enough. the dayton fan will exhaust out a window or another room, i haven't decided yet.

The plants will be grown to about a maximum of 4 feet tall, and they will be in atleast 3 gallon pots for flowering maybe 5 gallons. I am going to be growing 12 females under the 1000w hps. I am planning on taking clones from a few selected mothers, and 12 rooted clones will be put to fully flower under the 1000w hps.

The plants will be germinated in a plate with a wet paper towel and put into 1 or 2 gallon pots to start out.

The plants will be lst'd at around 2 weeks, maybe a little longer. Nutrients will be started at around 3 weeks of vegging, at 1/4 dose and slowly moved up to full dosage. They may also be fimmed once, i haven't decided yet. The plants will be vegged for a total of 30-40 days depending on how fast and vigorous they grow.

The plants will then be put into 3-5 gallon pots to flower, the soil mix will also be mixed with blood meal and bone meal for flowering. I will be trying to make a very even canopy so all of the buds on each plant get enough light. I will also clip the fan leaves blocking the buds, so the buds get more light.

I will give updates as soon as the germination starts.
