Badfish's Greenery PtII

Welcome Blades!

It has been more than a few years since my last grow. I have missed it ever since I yanked my last plant. Fortunately, since my last medical grow, things in my location have changed. It is now recreationally legal here!

Since I now have the means to enjoy the benefits of growing my own again, I am back in action!

My setup is composed of a 48"x48" grow tent and three LED lights. Two are Viparspectra V600 panels, and one is a Spectrum King 140w Closet Case. The true power draw is a total of 678 watts with a claimed equivalent of 1600w. We'll see if I need to use all of the light, or if I need to remove one. As time moves on, I would like to use the 140w Closet Case for a vegetative tent.

All plants in the beginning will be grown from seed, and the genetics I have available to choose from are:
Super Lemon Haze from Green House
Critical Mass CBD from Dinafem
Mama Mia from Seedsman
Acupulco Gold x Purple Haze I bred years ago. I like to call it Hawaiian Purple.

Let me know in the comments below if you have a suggestion as to what strains I grow. I will likely be growing two plants at a time in a scrog.

Plants will be in 5 gallon fabric pots with Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil. Once the plants are well underway, I will be feeding the ladies with Fox Farm's nutrients:
Grow Big
Big Bloom
Tiger Bloom
Open Sesame
Cha Ching
Beastie Bloomz

I have not run this whole regimen of nutrients before, and as I understand, they need to be used LIGHTLY, especially in the early/veg stage.

I will be posting photos of the tent soon, when the last of my genetics arrive.

Thanks for reading! I have learned a great deal from other growers like you, and hopefully I can now repay the community with more knowledge and learning.

Happy growing!

 

As promised, here is a picture of the tent! Also, seeds have arrived. Cast your vote asap!

 

Ignore the messy wiring and hangers. I still haven't got them where I want them yet. I will most likely be modifying the hanging system of the Viparspectra lights. The net is just there for show at this point.

 

Just a quick update, I have started germination on the Super Lemon Haze. I'll post a Pic as soon as they start showing their cotyledon leaves.

Thanks for the first sub! I'm really excited about getting back into it!

 

Happy to have ya Canada Guy! I'll take a look at yours while we wait!

 

Thanks Soil2Coco! I'll take a look! Here is a photo of my two seedlings. They are showing a taproot. I would imagine they are going to emerge from the soil within 24 hours.

 

Here they are. They are nice and tall due to where I had them. Now they're under the light and getting ready to show off their first sets of leaves!

 

Day 2 after emerging from soil. 5 days after germination. I love this part!

 

Correction: that photo is 4 days after I began the germination process.

 

I'm clearly a little rusty! I overwatered my little seedlings, and have stunted new growth as a result. The initial stretch also created a tough early stage for them. I have had some drainage issues and plan to drill out some more holes in my cups. If they don't show a strong recovery in the next few days, I may start a couple new seeds. The image below is after I knocked it over watering

 

Update! The seedlings are doing okay! I'm going to give them a few more days before transplanting them to their final airpots.

 

Hi Sypha, welcome to my grow! Here's an update for everyone!

They are looking pretty good. Giving them a light watering every 3-4 days at this point. Will probably start introducing light nutrients every other watering in a week or so.
Not sure why, but my camera has a tendency to make yellows look WAY more saturated. They look quite green and healthy in person.

 

Day 24 since they popped from soil. Looking pretty happy! I also swapped over to my Viparspectra lights in veg mode from the Spectrum King. Hopefully there isn't too much added heat.

I plan to get some light LST going before revamping my net situation. I don't like that premade bungee cord net. It just doesn't seem like it will hold them down properly and the holes are way too big.
