Strain: Gorilla Glue 4
Soil: homemade potting mix = 2 parts top soil + 1 part composted cow manFure + 1 part sphagnum peat moss (it's what I've used in my containers for vege gardening for a few years)
Containers: 5 gallon bucket, 3.5 gallon fabric bag, 2 gallon plastic plant pot (I'm doing an experiment to see if there's any difference)
Equipment: Sunblaze 48" T5 fluorescent 8-bulb fixture. I started with 5 6500K blue bulbs + 3 3000K red bulbs in. I recently swapped all the fluorescent tubes out for 24W High Output T5 LED tube lights (5000K / 3500lm)
Light Cycle: 18/6
Fan: stationary, goes on and off with the light
Temps: 71ish (need to get this up some)
Humidifier: 60%
Tent: an old pop-up ice fishing shany 4'W x 5.5'L x 5.5'H with mylar taped to the sides and floor
Water: de-chlorinated tap water. I'm working on lowering the Ph with hydrochloric acid
Fertilizer: I'm using two different ferts:

Fertilizer: I'm using two different ferts:
- Happy Frog Organic Dry Tomato and Vegetable 5-7-3 + some Blood Meal 12-0-0. I put 12tsp of fert + 6tp of Blood Meal in 1 gallon of water and let it steep. This makes the nutrients more readily accessible, but it stinks to high heaven.
- Fox Farms liquid trio - Big Bloom, Grow Big, and Tiger Bloom. I'm trying to follow the schedule posted on Fox Farms' website but I overwatered/fertilized a couple weeks ago so I've scaled back. Even though the plants are 36 days old, I haven't moved onto week 2 of their schedule because I needed to flush and let the soil dry out.
