Dephects 1kw Journal

[Dephect]

Hey all, looks like my thread got deleted in the server update but here is a new thread to show my progress into the wonderful art and science of growing. Ive stated my intentions of growing, I am probably moving out of my duplex into a house this winter and will upgrade to a 2kw or 1.8kw grow.

But right now this is what I have. 3x3 DarkRoom, ActiveAir 6", ActiveAir 465cfm Squirrel Cage, 1kw hortilux, Sunsystem Yield Master hood, 1kw switchable Hydrofarm ballast, used to have CO2 but the regulator cracked somehow and might need to get a new one. Working on getting a porto AC unit working in the room but that might consist of installing a new circuit and running conduit from the main panel to my current room. The veg room is unsealed right now in a shelving unit and I have been having slight hermie problems in the tent.

Strains I be running:
A lot to name, some are mislabeled, trying to single out my select few.
Sour Grapes
F.O.G.
Pink Pez
OG kush?
Sweet Durban (Sweet Kush x Durban Poison)
I.S.S.
G13
Flo

Some seeds on the way:
Bubba Kush
Abusive Kush Haze F2
Northern Dreams BX x Rez's Hindu Kush F2
WiFi
Fire Alien Romulan

The current grow is a multi strain grow and they are at 4 weeks today, feeding them a mixture of Beasty Blooms and Humboldt Nutrients, soon to be Humboldt Countys own with their Crystal Burst (the stuff works!)

Here are some photos of the garden, enjoy.
Ladies in bloom at 2 weeks

Ladies in Veg
The three more mature ones to the right are the Pink Pez clones I have been growing out for the outdoor season ;) The two medium ones are future Sour Grapes mums, and all the ones in the tray are unidentified due to my own negligence and I am in the process of identifying.

Some bud shots ;)
The Pink Pez

The Sour Grapes ;) This is what my next run will consist of. Super dense frosty sour grape musk.

Any questions, comments or advice is always welcome :)
Ill be posting some week 4 updates on the ladies in bloom sometime today hopefully.

:D

Pulling up a front row seat for the show... Great start Dephect!

 

[Dephect]

Thanks Shady!

As promised here are the week 4 updates. I just watered and tied all the ladies up a bit more. They are getting rather frosty, It seems I have possibly 2 F.O.G., 2 Sour Grapes, 1 Sweet Durban, 1 G13 and 1 undetermined.

I know they are looking a little yellow but I have been giving them a substantial amount of N for where they are at in flowering. It seems I have had this problem the last two runs, not enough N.

Lights off

Lights on

Enjoy! Maybe a mid week or week 5 update next.

Week 5 is coming up tomorrow.. I have some early yellowing and a little burn from feeding them too much Honey ES. At this point Id rather have too little N rather than too much N, and be burning them a little on P and K.

Just bought some Gravity and Snow Storm Ultra. I'm going to try and at least do one feeding of gravity before end to see if I can get some added density and a few more feedings of Crystal Burst. I don't know if its too late to start Snow Storm Ultra because schedule says it should be started in veg.

Been thinking a lot about the next grow too since I only have a few more weeks until this crop finishes and that's not really a lot of time with my work schedule.

Debating on getting a AeroFlo set up. I need something that can water when I am gone as well.

Here is a new update for everyone who is watching. Feel free to chime in :)
First off.. Got the AC rigged up again :)

Here are the ladies in Veg. I had to add another T5 to accommodate and re arrange a little bit.

The next run possibly..

Now for some real porn :)
Sour Grapes ;)

 

[Dephect]

More Sour Grapes ;)

What I believe to be Durban Poison.

The F.O.G.

A Sativa I have not yet identified

More shall come. ;)

I know they look a little yellow. I have been having problems with nitrogen, I bought a new nute additive from Humboldt Nutrients called Verde its higher in the N then the Master A. Im also considering buying a Aquamist IV to try out and if I like it Im going to buy a few Aquamist I's, its really time to step it up a notch and that means turning bloom to hydro and keeping the moms in Soil.

Im going to give them one more feeding of Verde try for two more feedings of Gravity + Crystal Burst with a feeding of Honey ES in between and then flush
