Hey Everyone my names Chobble. I'm a young Botany student here in California who has been growing Prop 215 Legal Medical Marijuana since I was Sixteen years of age. At the time I had been battling with my Bi-Polar Disorder and years of depression. I had started smoking pot and I saw the immediate positive effect it had in me, it made me realize my life was worth life and did was any of the pills never did. At the age of Seventeen I was taking Seven different medications and knew that it needed to end. I told my parents that I thought I would just be fine with pot. Plenty of doctors said that pot was a depressent and that I would only be made worse by it, and by god if I didnt smoke it would make me more depressed; thus being there main argument against it. Well If I didnt take my pills, I wanted to find the nearest cliff and jump.
Now today I dont live such a life style. I'm a silly happy stoner who grows his plants with all the TLC they need and then maybe a little more. While I prefer to grow my marijauna outdoors I dont have enough room here in the city so I have been forced indoors. The nice thing about indoors is I really can perfect my art and work with the plant I love.
My specs for my Indoor are as follows:
Flowering(12/12):
600 Watt HPS System
Covering about a 3 1/2' x 2 1/2' space
Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil
3 Gallon Pots(Sometimes one gallon)
Vegetative(18/6):
T5 Hood with 8 Bulbs
Covering 4'x2'
I mostly use Quart and Gallon sized Containers along with my cloning trays etc.
I use a mix of Ocean Forest and Sun Warrior when I initially Transplant clones to promote a large healthy root system before putting them into straight Ocean Forest Soil.
Nutrients:
Indoors:
For Rooting/Translating I use a cheap B1 Vitamin solution
I then use the three main Fox Farms Fertilizers for general feeding
I use clonex because its what I have at the moment, It is a great product (Unless someone wants to dispute it?)
Outdoors:
I make sure to infuse my soil with everything my plant will need to grow big healthy buds, I mostly make sure to mix in my compost and manure into the soil a month before along with a shovel of worm infested soil from my worm bin.
I believe in trying to be as self sustaining as possible. I brew my own Tea's and am actually hoping to open up a business in the area selling my variety of Tea's that help your plants grow big and strong ;)
I mostly use Chicken and Steer manure when it comes to poo. I like to use worm castings but they can get pricey if I have enough in my bin I always toss it in (I'm telling you guys, worm bins are easy to keep and you can collect worms from anywhere). If Worm castings are out of the question I always make sure to have some high quality compost, whether its a good bag of mushroom compost or the compost from the back yard you have to get all the microbal life somehow!
Strains:
Currently I have Two mothers that I am training. I have a Strawberry cough mother standing at about 8 inches tall by 8 inches wide in both directions that I take 10-15 cuttings off of every two weeks. I always leave my room saying "That god damn strawberry cough" Its truely a monstrous sativa! I also have my Master Kush and OG Kush. I personally am done growing the OG Kush. It just doesnt meet my standards and I dont like the high, The mother is just growing so I can take a few more clones and pass them on to friends before retiring them in my garden.
In seed form I have two heirloom strains that where brought to the county in the 70's from Africa and Afghanistan. The one from Afghanistan is a purple indica (This thing produces more resin then any plant I have seen to this day). The one from Africa is a large late flowering sativa that I unfortunately don't have the opportunity to grow. I've sprouted the seeds twice and grown them indoors, but never to the full grandeur of this great sativa.
I hope to post some of my phenotyping studies in the seeds I sprout and sex and to use this Diary to record the groundwork for a seedbank I hope to open in the next five years.
Ill be updating this Journal/Diary as often as possible so please follow along and give me any input that you may have or ask any questions that you may have ;)
