Hello gc, This will be my grow journal for this room. I will update frequently, and hope we can share a lot of info with each other. Here is a brief introduction Room size: 15' x 12' x 8, Lighting: 6 x 1000 watt lumatek dimmable ballasts, 6 x 8" magnum xxxl hoods with lumatek bulbs. Air cooled Safety first: Only two lights running on 600w while the plants root system goes from rock wool to filling up 1 gallon containers. A healthy root system is a HUGE part of a good harvest. Plants: the first run will be 50 purple diesel (purple kush x sour diesel) and 4 Girl Scout cookies (og kush x cherry pie (Durban poison x GDP). I want to eventually transfer over to strictly GSC but since we recently received the mother we will have to see what this phenotype is capable of before doing a run full of it, especially since the purple diesel is such a great and productive strain. We will be running 9 plants per light (54) Growing medium: aeration mix: coco coir Nutrients: for now I am only using 1 ml of black label root enhancer and 1 ml of floralicious plus per gallon. You want your root system to reach out in search of nutrients for the first couple weeks until the base of the system is completed, if they are drenched in nutes then they will be lazy. This is all I have time for at the moment but I will be on here daily fielding any questions fellow growers have as well as listening to any opinions or criticism you guys have to share with me. I plan on pulling an GPW (gram per watt) and if you are interested in doing the same I suggest you subscribe! Thanks for checking it out.
Tomorrow will be the girls first dose of nutes I will post pictures of how they are doing as well as pictures of the nutrients. The roots are showing at the bottom of the 1 gallon bucket which means its time for their first dose... Consisting of: Connnessuire A&B: 4 mlpg (ML per gallon) Black label root enhancer: 1 Mlpg Floralicious plus: 1/2 mlpg Botanicare calmag: 5 mlpg Growers secret pro: 1 drop per gallon
First update. Not much growth but this is their first dose of nutrients. Will post pictures tomorrow of its affect. See above post for doses
I'm growing purple diesel too. I got it in clone form from Colorado. I'm 3 weeks into flower and seeing massive flower growth. It has been great so far, heavy feeder, vigorous growth. As of now it has that diesel smell but almost like a sweet n sour, diesel but with a hint of grape or berry. Won't really know which till I smoke it. The guy with the mother I got it from said it really likes to purple up around week 6-7 with 8-9 week flower. Check out my thread "purple diesel 1000w scrog"
What do you have electrical wise? I just did a serious electrical upgrade and wonder what you have for a load center.
