Hello everyone. I’m Tha Bad Hippie. Welcome to my first grow in 7 years.
Strains:
Inhouse Genetics Dark Velvet, Watermelon Martini, OG Kush, Permanent Marker, Biscotti, Watermelon Gelato, and Apple Fritter
Light: Mammoth 680w mint white LED 6 Bar
Medium: 100% Coco
Nutes: General Hydroponics Micro, Bloom, floralicious plus, florablend, hydroplex, roots excel, fulvic acid.
Closet is a little over 5x5, enough to fit a tent inside when I buy one soon.
Veg tent is 2x2x4.5 when used.
I got my own place and decided to start growing again, as the quality of rec shops is good, but not good enough for a seasoned toker who grew up in Washington state. I was spoiled with lots of cali strains from the 2000-2010 era, as well as sticky fresh Oregon buds, and of course locally grown catpiss, uDub and purple strains. My favorite was the trainwreck that reeked like lemon pine sol.
first I had to start with a light. I purchased a $30 seedling light, as well as a 150w hps, 3 ts600 mars hydros and some random 600w COB light for $40 on OfferUp
Tmlapy 2500W Full Spectrum COB LED Grow Light
I only needed two of the ts600s for veg lights, so I gave the others to my brother to sell on OfferUp. After reading about how they are cheaply made and can start fires, I just used one until my new light showed up yesterday… so I’m giving all lights to my brother and buying a safer veg light for veg tent.
I got my taxes and after research pulled the trigger on a Mammoth 680w 6bar mint white led light. Took 3 weeks after purchase but was well worth the wait. The driver is on top of my fridge, detached from the light.
I went to NASC and without doing much research, I saw their Christmas special on inhouse genetics drops. I my day was Dark Velvet, so I got a 3 pack. All 3 popped, but one plant was struggling so I culled it.
I then ordered the other 6 strains.
I am going to take clones then flower in a 5x5 (when I get one). I also need to get a 10” fan and scrubber for the text room, as the 6” fan and carbon filter is for the Lung room, aka my living space where the fan is used to scrub air to the outside for smell control. I’m just using the 6” for now.
Temps are never past 81. 75-80. I keep the lights on 24 hours, with some 6hour breaks until I get a mechanical timer for the LED.
as of now all the ladies are just being fed a 6ml micro 9ml bloom schedule. Feed every watering. Seattle tap water is perfect enough to use without any cal mag or ph down/up (for now) I will be closely following the schedule made by a member from another site called Highbreed. I know the rezdog formula, as well as highbreeds are easy enough for me to get some harvests in before I start to try other brands, side by sides, dialing things in, etc. I also used to grow with jacks classic duo, and was debating using just citrus, as I’ve read in a few journals, but my most successful past grows were with the simple rezdog formula in coco. I like highbreeds because some of the additives he uses.
you might see a few deficiencies on older leaves from the clones that were ordered. They are past that and new growth is perfect, no more purple stems on new growth. If I examine the two plants i have from seeds, the dark velvet, there is no purple stems in sight (healthy plants) so im feeling confident about the rezdog formula again already. It just works to get things going and grow some nice plants. So hard to mess up.
well I guess that’s it for now
