So its time for a new grow. This time I'll be growing Diesel and getting out of Kush. Plant: Diesel (6) Don't know the details of the strain but its just called Diesel here. Grow Medium: ProMix HP/50% Perlite 2 gal square pots System DarkRoom 120 1000W (Sylvania) Air Cooled tube from Hydrotek 6" Vortex and 4" Vortex fans Lumatek 1000W ballast Nutrients: Advanced Conny Jump Start GH General Organics additives (root/seaweed) GH Diamond Nectar GH Kool Bloom Pro Silicate Dr K SuperThrive I won't be vegging the plants and will be flipping them once I set up the light today. Will be growing 36 of them which will fill up the DarkDroom. I'll get photos going in the next day. I also might get a live 24/7 web cam going. I'm just working out the details on this with someone.
Little slow on the updates. Here's a photo of the plants. I flipped them right of the bat so they are pretty small at week 2 of flower. I wanted to see what they looked when you flip them without vegging.
The Dark Room is a little smaller its 4xr4 instead of 4.5x4.5 which for me worked a little better to stay hidden out of sight. BUT the Dark Room material is crap it looks like fake leather but my cats put holes into it. Their claws went in like a hot knife through butter. I'll be getting a different tent next time which will have a canvas outer shell.
So you switched to get more room, but went with the smaller 4x4 (47"x47") Dark Room rather than the larger 4x4 (54"x54") Sun Hut?
So its about day 37 of flower. Not quite sure how long diesel has to be flowered but I guess probably 3 more weeks.
Few more photos coming up to week 7. Will let it grow two more weeks and then its chop time and start other one right away.
Ended up with 15 oz dry. Should have have more plants but couldn't grow in a table and had to use pots. With a table I could have put in more plants. So my next crop I'm thinking of trying to use 1 gal pots and finish off in those. This will allow me to get 50 plants in there although I'm not sure how having such a small amount of medium will affect nutrient exchange between the medium and roots. I'll use the same strain (Some kind of diesel, possibly lemon as it smelled like a lemon and very fruity dry bud) If I don't use 1gal pots I'm thinking of vegging for 5 days or so and then topping them to produce more arms. I'll be starting at the end of the week so ill post with a new grow thread.
Hmmm, looks like you've done this a few times. Haha, awesome grow man, I'm just now learning about it.
It looks like you could have gotten many more plants in there, and grown them much taller as well. How about if you went with an aeroponics system to increase yield? There is a really awesome homemade one out there you can look at here: Grow 2 lbs. on a 2' x 4' 32 Site DIY Aeroponic Unit - Marijuana Growing and here: 32 site aeroponic grow - Pot of Gold! - Page 8 - Marijuana Growing
