1000W 4x4 Soil Grow/various strains, lbs per 2 mnths attempt #1

Discussion in 'Indoor Grow Journals' started by zq8s10, Aug 9, 2012.

  1. Okay guys Im off to another grow. This time I want something somewhat perpetual. Possibly once every two months, or once a month. As of now Ive started 11 feminized seeds under a 400w mh, I will veg 30-40 days and then switch to the 1000 watter. I will take a clone from each plant and start vegging my next harvest, thus every two months. Possibly cycle smaller portions in to make it every month.

    Space:
    4X4 tent from htg supply. Located in a bedroom with a window unit a/c installed.

    Ventilation:
    After tons of attempts.. Ive found it easiest to cool with 2 477cfm inline fans. I hook them both to my big kahuna hood. One inside the tent sucking air from the tent and blowing thru the hood, the other fan on top of the tent hooked to the other side of the big kahuna pulling air and blowing it thru a carbon filter. Like this temps stay between 79-82

    Light:
    HtG 1000w hps with remote ballast, also using the big kahuna reflector.

    Containers
    3 gallon nursery pots

    Soil
    100% Fox farms ocean forrest

    Flowering nutes
    FF tiger bloom with the open sesame,beastie bloomz, and cha ching.

    STRAINS
    All feminized
    3 Reserva pirvada purple wrecks
    2 Blue widows
    1 Sour jack
    1 dutch passion blueberry
    4 ch9 commercial

    not sure if I will top them/supercrop/straight up grow them yet .. Mostly trying to feel the whole floor to use every bit of space I can for buds..I have the seperate strains so eventually I can grow mostly my preferred personal then my higher yielder for my shared stuff..

    ***look at this seedling***

    Attatched is day 5 from sprouts. Ive got 2 oddballs which is fine because I planted 12 just so I could be sure to have 9.

    The thing is though, Ive never seen a plant like this.. It has 3 sets of branches instead of 2. like it had 3 little green leaves when sprouted.. Then the new growth shows the 3 blades instead of 2. Its one of the purple wrecks. Curious to see how she comes out..

    Thanks dude! What kindve setup are u running with your big kahuna as far as space and cooling? Ive had problems keeping mine cool but 82 is a avg temp for me.. But some say thats too hot some say its fine..
     
  6. Well its week 2 day 14. getting time to figure out whether im going to top/fim/lst/super crop. Im starting to wonder if I didnt plant enough for that area and a 30 day veg..so i may have to veg a little longer than 30. I really wanna utilize my space and make sure the whole floor is covered from the green...

    Check out the 3 leaved one.. Still going good.. It even had three of the little baby leaves from sprout... Weeeird..

  7. this is just a lame journal. am i doing something wrong ? alll my journals from the past was overwhelming with replies.. this one has had one person reply .. looking for tips and.advise.. should i top lst supercrop or fim?
     
  8. Nice looking plants! Check out my journal sometime!
     
  9. looks like 2-3 of the 11 ppants did get some nute burn from the ffof. not sure if theres anything i can do at this point except wait it out.. not too upset abt it i only wanted 9 plants so thats what the extra was for!

    day 20... 3 plants arent looking healthy?? heres a shot of all the ladies.. see my thread in sick plants for input and pics of the three.. ohh btw I topped all of them 3 days ago which wouldve been day 17..

    also i just discovered these pots arent 3 gallon.. their 2.25 gallon pots :( .. would that be fine for a 30 day veg? or possibly even a 35-42 day veg?

  12. well its day 34 .. I give them a 1/2 dose of tigerbloom and open sesame and switched the lights. so they got a 35 day veg.. Im just throwing a guess out there but they look like they coul do 1.4oz a piece at least so hopefull ill get the elbow im dreaming for.

  13. well just after one day after feeding and switching the lights the girls look bigger already. And yeah the 1000w is awesome with a 4x4. I have the big kahuna reflector and even with that the light has to be dead center to cover the whole area with bright light. I spin the pots every day and rotate every watering too just in case.

    The growth from last night to tonight is amazing for that short of time. I litterly had to spread them out some and center the hood up right to get then covered well. And running the ligbts at night with a/c in the room helps pull temps between 78 and 80.. Thats with the sealed hood and 2 477cfm fans..

  14. day 3 since the switch.. their really starting to fill up the tent.. i had to do some moving around to try and show every site to the light

  15. day 5. readjusted hood and spread them out more. Ive noticed they only show substantial growth1-2 days after watering.. then 1-2 days later than that I water again. So I just watered them so Im betting you will see the growth on day 7 since the switch.
