Hey blades, Rasta_kid420 here. For those of you who do and do not know me welcome to my new journal. I'm currently on my third grow attempt but what I consider my second real attempt because my second grow I had to chop do to moving. I'm currently growing a Lebanese hybrid by Oregon Green Seed, Donkey Kong by the same breeder and a sativa bagseed. They are about a month and a half to two months in veg. I'm growing in roots organic formula 707 in 5 gallon buckets and feeding with roots organic Buddha grow and Epsom salt. I water them with that ph'd between 6.5-6.8. I started with five but narrowed it down to 3 confirmed females. I took clones of the Lebanese and donkey Kong tonight. I plan on running a perpetual no-till organic soil after this with Oregon Green Seeds Blue Snowdog and pachyderm kush and I'll also be running the Lebanese and donkey Kong again. I'm going to alternate strains and try to harvest a plant every month or two. Feel free to post whatever you like, as long as its good vibes and within Forum guidelines. Also I'm open to suggestions and constructive critism. I love this plant and I want to do everything I can to become a better grower. Currently due to state laws it is illegal for me to grow but I don't like paying someone else for bud when I could grow it myself and it could be much higher quality. I hope to one day make a living at this after I move to a legal state. But either way I'll enjoy growing the herb. Thanks for coming to my temple feel, free to pull up a chair and light your bong or doob and enjoy the show. I'll give a good update tomorrow, so stayed tuned. -Rasta Sent from my SM-S820L using Grasscity Forum mobile app

I'm back with an update as promised. I watered today and they all drank about 3/4 of a gallon. It sure is weird for me to get used to watering 5 gals because I've only used much smaller pots. But I've also only been doing it a week. Ive really focused on watering evenly this grow along with watering to just barely any run-off and keeping a good schedule of watering where they dry completely and then get a good drink. I topped last night and turned the tops into clones that I have under a cfl in my bathroom closet that I grew In before I built the shower. Without further ado lets get to pictures. First here's what the garden's climate looks like. I don't usually let it stray far from this but it happens on occasion if we get weather changes or if I'm not home for a long time. I think keeping a consistent climate is important when comes to growing but I don't mind a little range because I feel it makes the plants adapted to different conditions. So first I'll show you the clone zone. It's not much just a dome with some clones and a light stuck in a closet but it works. I'm only gonna keep one clone probably because I only have enough soil for one pot. I don't plan on vegging these long as I'm gonna throw them in shortly after I do my big girls. I just Mainly took them to try and get some more bud for this round. Also this shows how I did the clones I put them in clear cups to see how the root growth looks but I've read multiple times light is bad for root development so I stuck them in another cup I taped black. Here's the whole garden. Up front is the sativa bagseed, the big bush in the back left is the Lebanese Hybrid (my favorite ), and back right is the Donkey Kong. Lebanese hybrid Donkey Kong Sativa bagseed Led Garden shot How the Temple looks in the bathroom My light, a Platinum LED p300. I plan to supplement it with cfls in flower to further increase yield. Hope you all enjoyed the first temple update of many to come. I don't know if they'll all be this big as I was trying to get everyone caught up on where I'm currently at, but I will be putting up pics regularly and hanging out on the forums chatting with blades so feel free to chat away.

Hey thanks man, it's good to have you here. Feel free to post whatever you like. I have big plans for this journal but due to cost I must take it in baby steps. I was planning on flowering this upcoming week but I've been seeing either fungus gnats or root aphids or both around my plants. That's no good so postponing harvest count down until I get it straightened out. I feel like I haven't been able to get thru a run in forever. Only ever had one full run and that was finished up back in July so I really would like to get the ball rolling a bit and gain some momentum with my grow. But anywho make yourself comfy Dirt we'll get the bong loaded up in no time.

Looks like fire in here mang. Mind if I chill?Love that bathroom grow... Any chance you covered that drain? Sometimes lil aphid'ish flys like to come up and feast on plants or live in soil. Take care.
Hey Iggy, thanks for the advice I didn't think about the drain being a problem. I'm pretty sure the bugs are in the soil because I've only seen them after I transplant each time but I will definitely cover the drain up with something. Feel free to chill as long as you like and post whatever you like as long as its not bad vibes.

So blades I'm back with a little update. I picked up some Bayer fruit, citrus and vegetable for the root aphids and nuked the roots. Yesterday I vaccummed the whole grow and sprayed it down with cleaner. Today I did the Bayer root drench and vaccummed once again and wiped it all down to make sure there were not any strays getting a get out of jail free card. I hope that I sent all those bastards to hell but only time will tell. I plan on doing a follow up drench in about 10 days just to make sure. The next watering is gonna be a feed of Buddha grow + bloom + Epsom. I'm probably gonna flip mid this week as long as I don't see any other issues pop up. I'm so ready to get to flowering. This run was only supposed to be a 3-4 week veg but obstacles got in the way. So after about 2 months of veg here they are Here's my personal favorite Lebanese hybrid. I hope to get 4 zips from this one. These shots show you how bushy and branchy she is. Here's the Donkey Kong. She's been most affected by the root aphids. You can see some of the damage but it ain't nothing irreversible with some tlc. Sativa bagseed, I hope this one gives 2-3 zips. I want it to go about 80% milky and try to keep the rest clear because I haven't had a real races sativa in a long time but I also want it to be powerful and uplifting. But since I don't know strain on it I can only hope.
