Hey yall. New poster, but I've been creeping for awhile getting information I've been using for the last five weeks. I wasn't going to start a journal online but changed my mind and this had been my favorite site to read from, so here goes. I'm starting week six in veg on some clones I brought home from the medical farmers market in Washington.
Well I'm just starting this thread at the beginning of my sixth week. I thought I would be done with my veg by now, but I'm close. The slow growth was due to poor conditions and lighting. I'm getting closer now and seeing much better growth. I think I'll flip gradually to 12-12 over a week or two starting in the first week of April. Oh yeah, I'm growing White Widow, Big Bud, Strawberry Cough, Tangerine Power, 2 Yeager, Gorilla Glue #4, and Albert Walker.
I'll keep this short and add laterms because I'm on my phone, but I started in happy frog, 1 gallon containers and earth juice grow with 6 20 watt lights of america grow led lights. After about two weeks I pulled out 2 250watt 10,000k reef spectrum mh and 1 250 watt standard metal halide. That boosted things, but I was still growing in a small $60 Bimart greenhouse (love me some bimart), and my house is super dry so I was constantly fighting humidity, a sagging frame from weight, pets, etc so I bought panda film and set up a room with 1 1000 watt mh and a 1000 watt hps. It's staying about 78-82 with just aneed air purifier for the intake from goodwill (nice unit though), a window fan exhaust, and a 1/4 line single head fine mister spraying 6.0 pH well water 24/7. With lights about 24"from the canopy I average 50-60k lux. My only issue is humidity and with one mister and cheap room humidifiers I can't get above 50% and seem to stay around 30%.
I haven't had any major issues except for mites early on that I took care if with homemade need oil +various essential oils in water foliar spayed twice then 1500 ladybugs. I went up from 1 gallon to 2 or 3 for only a few weeks before the roots hit the sides again, so I've been in 5 for the last couple weeks. I've been using full strength earth juice grow throughout (built up to full), added jellyfish mycos around week 3 of veg to feed, added Epsom salt and really low strength grow nutes to foliar spray and added around week 3 for 2-4 x week, just added organic aloe vera juice to foliar, added Real Growers Recharge 5 days ago, bought a bountea kit two weeks ago and applied compost tea aboutique 8 days ago. Oh yeah, I'm in FFPF/HF/perlite/hydroton mix and thinking about moving to 7 or 10 gallon smart pots or radical bags before flower?
I'll add some pictures but not a lot to catch up unless you want to see more. I'll keep up (hopefully) in here from now to harvest.
Any help or tips throw them in.
