Hello everyone. Everything is running smoothly and its time to post a journal. at the end of the post I'll link a post "up until now" which illustrates "The beginning" xD Here are the specs Genetics: Kaya Gold (fem) from seedx3 nirvana freebie seedx3 Setup Lighting - 400w HPS air cooled supernova reflector -connected with ballast(400w) http://www.htgsupply.com/Product-SuperNova-Reflector 4" inline growbright fan and filter. -these items didn't work together because the hoof was 1 sided and the filter was 1 sided. I reversed the carbon filter so that scented air was pulled through light then fan Then filter . pushed out of the filter into the room. http://www.htgsupply.com/Product-A-GrowBright-Pure-Flow-4-Tall-Boy-Carbon-Filter http://www.htgsupply.com/Product-GrowBright-%204in-High-Velocity-Inline-Fan Veg- 2' T5HO flouro that I rigged w the free reflector I received. supplemented the area with 2 2700w CFLs NUTES: Aqua Flakes A&B Calmag Medium: coco coir65%/perlite35% (miracle grow perlite -.-) Method: feed, feed, water 5.7 DTW, I dunk the pot into a bucket during feeds 2 times a day, then dump out those nutes. about 1/2 gallon is used each feeding and then when watered, 5.7 and from top, to sort of flush a little, almost 1 whole gallon is used here. they are fed or watered 1 time every 3-5 days 2-3 gallon pots are target and LST / top about 2 flower @ a time Sea of Green perpetual is goal ppm meter @ .7 pH meter Tap water left out for 24hrs+ about 170ppmwater http://forum.grasscity.com/grow-room-designsetup/1330507-complete-setup-closet-grow-sog-environment.html/page-1 this is "up till now" with this setup and with pics further update and pics in a few hours. I like to illustrate happy growing, and Sub Up
see how the fan blows through filter and out? No smell, so far all the flowering pics are the same plant.
update on my flowering mystery girl "the motivator" All cloudy trichomes! I did not yet flush, yesterday I fed 4mL/4mL and 3mL calmag so next feeding is tomorrow or the next day where ill flush? 3gallon bucket so ill pour through 4 gallons?? and then day after that no more water? if its all cloudy trichs now, looks under done, how long till the cloudy trichs turn amber?? also I am worried about the ppms, after last feeding it was 1060ppm on a .7 meter I know this is relatively ok, and im assuming that its b/c its soil, w coco around it. so soil is holding more nutes right?. o well, only thing left to do is flush, so I think ill wait till day after tomorrow and basically flush to 300ppm or lower. is this ok? then let dry and no water for maybe 4 days then chop?
fellers fellers, make a post im new to growing. By the looks of this 1 girl, I think im not so bad at it.
update : pics first the seedling is the freebie seed that is Not Auto-but I am 12/12 ing from seed. the other pics are the "motivator" 2 days ago and next ones are today the light is fully on so no more pics xD man, its nice to take a pic and zoom in on here
I flushed down to 350ppms today(about 520 total), and down from 1000 or so. letting her dry and if its time, chop in a few days. if not 1 more flush
Day 60 I see fully formed trichomes milky I think and no amber just yet. I see all these pistols, and I need to harvest xD. letting her go, but just doing 1 watering If that. Then I have an open box with the top cut off. across that top us just a string to hang. After maybe 3 days or so then I will unplug the light! and then chop 48 hrs later. damn...that's another 5 days at least.
Hey this is the post I lost before xD. Ok so update. Day 63. How long are they supposed to go? its hard to tell what it is but id say a hybrid. If she is a hybrid then I guess its safe to harvest at about 10%amber trichs? I have seen no amber trichs and its day 63 flower..
and we're dones. Pics- this internet play garden is fun so there is the family, Neeext! and Question, will the bud get more dense?? it seems like it was and now its not, and im hoping it will get dense again. 2nd question - us this ok for drying??. light is off and fan and inline fan are on.
change of plan this week. As I was reading I decided it was time to transplant my lil seedling I saw that the roots were plentiful and bright white. was about 3 weeks in that container(solo cup size(was an icing container)). so 3 weeks is a good time. I transplanted mystery "her" to 2 gallon I believe and I totally didn't bury deep enough :/ I also decided to transplant the Kaya Gold f I put into flower about 4 days ago. She was in a 2 gallon and she was Not quite ready to transplant. So she was age just over 2 months. 9/3-11/8. so solo cup is about 2.5-3weeks and 2 gallon can go about 2.5 months id say. I then didn't have any room since I transplanted this seedling that was "on the side" into a big container(2gallon) I decided to put my other 2gallon Kaya Gold f (also 9weeksold) and will finish her in that container. I think that 2 gallon is prob enough. so I have 2 kaya gold F in flower about 1 week apart. I have 2 seedlings transplanted into about 2 gallons and 2 freebies in (1 one gallon, and 1 2gallon) hers the new group first is "orange" the 1 gallon freebie <u can see I over extended and split "her" main stem. I taped it but its not doing much so I supported her with an old Raid spool. and tied there and she is holding.
