I just joined so this Is My first grow journal but not Mt first grow Well lets get things started Lighting : 1000 watt gps + 400 watt mh Médium: sunshine Advanced mix #4 Planta 9 Blue Berry skunks 2 grape gods
Yeah I did leave them but only the ones that the roots penetrated thru the ones thatd diddnt I jest transplantes in the jiffy plugs
Ok. Once I used peace pots and it restricted my growth a little. My roots had a hard time penetrating through. Eventually they made it. But it discouraged me from using them again. Now I start in rapid rooters, go to solo cups with holes then 3 gal smart pots. Then final pot either 5 or 10. But thinking of going 12-15 now.
Well I have heard that it depends on wat brand of jiffuly pot u use. I hope that my plants dont get restricted uf so i just took like 15 more bbs clones
How long do you plan on vegging your plants? How many you wish to flower at once? What size finishing pots?
Well ill probably veg longer the first Run just so i can get a nice amount of clones off the grape gods. Im switching over to a perpetual harvest grow
I run perpetual. What I do is right before I flip the lights a few days before I cut clones and start them. By time I harvest the next batch is ready to be give clones an flower.
Food advice Im going to do that but like every weeks so i can pull plants every 3 weeks after the first harvest I know theyll be smaller plants but at higher plant densidy I should make up for there size come harvest
I like to make them big. But try it different ways and see how it goes for you. I say growing is like part of our personality. It kinda is part of you how you do it. See what works for you. Nothing is wrong, unless it don't work for you. Then it's just wrong for you. What works for me might not work for you, but you are free to try it. I developed my system over time just trying to make it work. Mine grow big because by time I harvest their clone is a monster. So therefore I grow biggons
I havnt actually even budding my first round of clones so i may grow big plants but ny veg lights are 2 2 foot 2 bulb t8 shoplights with 6500 daylight bulbs do u think theyll be able to veg some nice sized plants
They will do fine for a bit. Eventually you will want to get more, upgrade. I found me a 4ft 8 bulb t5 for $100 on Craigslist. So that's how I veg. I say use what you got, do what you can. Upgrade when you can (or find a great deal) and it'll work itself out.
I don't know about a lot but often enough if you look daily in the farm and garden section. I bought my hood, 600w lumatek digital ballast 4 ft 8 bulb t5 and a 2 ft 4 bulb t5 all off Craigslist. All on the cheap. Got my hood for $40 with glass, ballast for $90, and big t5 for $100, small t5 for $35. All great condition. But I am patient an only take good deals. And always inspect and fire it up first. I was a little sketchy about the ballast at first but it has lasted over a year so far.
