HEY HO LETS GROW, an ongoing saga of trial and error!

First a little background

I've had prior experience with growing 20 years ago for many years with very good results. When I was approached by a friend recently to grow her meds, I jumped on it. And soon after inherited 2 more patients and off I go. Along with growing, I set up many others years ago also. So growroom design and air I had a good grasp on, but many of the changes since then in equipment. Nutes and the overall botany end of it. After all 20 years ago I didn't check water for ph or do anything special cause it just hadn't evolved that way yet. So in todays world of growing I have much to learn. OK who am I kidding. I still have much to learn about everything. Well, I soon found things have changed dramatically. And after spending many hours of research here and anywhere I could get it, I jumped in the water, deep water!

Set consists of 3 tents. A 4x4x7.5x1000w, 2x4x7.5x600w and a 2x4x5 with a 2x4x6 tube T5, and a small mom keeper nook with a 2x2x8 tube T5 and 2x3x4 tube T5 for clones and babes. Wired in a separate 240v line for ballasts. I've got a 540cfm pulling the heat off the cooltubes. And 240cfm intake and exhaust on the largest tents and just exhaust with passive intake on the small one.

I used Blackgold Organic soils years ago and I see no reason to switch now. I went with a nute program of a mix of Organic nutes and synth for different stages and augment with molasses, a C&M supplement, hygrozyme and CO2 for the bud room.

I am all about learning, so any and all suggestions, feedback or criticism is welcome, sarcasm too for that matter. I'll try to keep up on pix, so welcome to my learn by submersion, Hey Ho Lets Grow rotation.

Up first is,

I would like to give thanks to many of the people here with journals, including but not limited to,
August West, Mechanibus, Budslinger, White Widow Man, ShaggyGT, Freedom4ever, AskEd, Sergio, Rumpleforeskin, Alatar and many others, I cant remember. I've lurked about for some time now and got some great inspiration and info from the GC community in general and thanks goes there also.







Lastly the Sweet Dreams at 3 weeks

 

Thanks guys, things will start rollin here in about a month. As I learn the 3 strains it will only get better from here.

 

A little bud porn!!! Sweet Dreams at 30 days

 

If someone can tell me how to just get the full size gallery pic here, without the attachment feature I would greatly appriciate it.

 

Tinypic iI believe is a photobucket sub which I use but for this purpose I would rather use grasscity as its on a server not in the USA. But thanks anyway.

 

Thanks Slinger, comin from you thats a real boon. Like I said before I have to give thanks to many people here for what they have written to get me up to date. I can certainly pat myself a bit though for sure, but the people of GC have helped a lot.

And the pix thing isnt working like it did when I first posted some pix so maybe that a GC thing cause it says invalid link, I'll keep trying though.

 

Thanks Smerph, 3 long weeks to go!

We accept you, one of us. if you dont know the story behind it, try to find the movie Todd Brownings/Freaks. One of Johnnies favorites.

I have a dedicated bud room hps and a mix room I use both in depending on stage of plant. Im set up for a 30day rotation and one room has to be dual purpose unfortunatly.

Well thanks man, I do believe it helps in the long run. Best practice is to never go to the garden after being outside in the garden. Shower and a change of cloths can prevent a whole lot of trouble. That and liquid hand sanitizer, LOL

 

Thats where some of The RAMONES songs titles come from and the chant '' Gabba Gaba Hey'' come from. They just changed it from Brownings Freaks chant of,
Gooma Gabba, Gooma Gabba, one of us, one of us.

And I think there can't be enough RAMONES in any way shape or form.

 

Slinger once again, you da man. Thanks a million.

 

Turn back on the JuicyFruit today and will start the countdown as soon as I see a little furry crown.
