Greetings farmers!
I'm new to THCfarmer, but not new to growing. A little background on my growing situation and this grow:
I have a little framed grow room in my uninsulated, unheated/air conditioned attic. I discovered that with a 1,000W MH/HPS system, lots of insulation and a thermostatically controlled fan, I can do about one long grow a year, and supply myself, my wife, and a few friends each year. I start from seed each grow, because I have no place to keep moms alive, year round.
THIS YEAR, I germed about 16 seeds, including:
Sannie's Jack,
Whazup/Sannie's Anesthesia F1
TGA's Vortex
Rez's Killer Queen Redux
Rez's G13 x widow
Then, just as the sprouts were emerging, we had torrential rains beyond anything I've seen before (almost 20" in a week's time). My roof started leaking, meaning that I'd have to have STRANGERS poking around in my attic to repair it. I had to tear out the framed grow room.
For two or weeks, I tried to keep them alive under CFLs. One sprout, a Rez creation, committed suicide by touching a CFL. Then I got hit with some kind of root rot, and lost more than half.
Well, I put my room back together, and got some of them under the 1000W MH. To make up for the loss, I sprouted 3 Anesthesia F2's, which were freebies from Sannie. I also recently sprouted a couple more Jacks, but they're still seedlings.
Here is what I've got so far. The bigger ones have been under the MH for about 3 weeks. The little Anesthesia F2s were only there for 1-2 weeks.
The first pic is the group shot of what's in the grow room at this time. The two in the back are EITHER Rez's KQR or Rez's G13 x widow. Labeling got screwed up. The two plants in larger pots in the foreground are Anesthesia F1s. The middle left is the only surviving Vortex (one of my personal favorites), the middle right is the only surviving Jack (not including the seedlings). The three small plants in the middle are Anesthesia F2s.
The second pic shows the two 'mystery' Rez plants.
The third pic shows a closeup of the a very young Anesthesia F2.
I'll probably flip them to 12/12 by the end of November. It will sort of depend on how far along the new Jack seedlings are. Sannies suggests only 3 week veg for Jack, since it is a wild-ass, branchy sativa. But I'll see how I feel about it when I see how big they are.
It's an all soil, all organic grow, as usual. The soil is a mix of Ocean Forest, perlite & peat moss.
