FIRST GROW: 4 Blue Dream, 4 SSHaze 1000w, soil

[skindeep35]

Okay....

this is my set up:

1000 w 8" xxxl air cooled

all clones (4 bd 4 ssh)

I transplanted them into 2 g Smart Pots, but there is a story behind the blue dream ladies:

i originally had them in 5g with nothing but SuperSoil potting mix and had to "rescue them" and repotted them back into 2 g with:

FF Ocean Forest

I am using a real simple mix right now

FF Ocean Forest
1/8 part perlite
1/4 CUP Garden Lime (hope this helps with Ca it has 21% and 10 mg Mg)

watering:

RO water Ph levels 6.5-6.8
i am doing the "lift test" and i also have a moisture meter but its kind of ghetto

ive had the blue dreams for a week and half from 3-4" clones

i just got the SSH clones 2 days ago

but ive watered about once every 3 days but the BD are definately drinking ALOT and those smartpots drain quick and they were dry today and i fed them each 400 ml a piece


i am vegging under the 1000w
3 ' from the tops of the blue dreams
18/6 light schedule

my temps are high with the lights on

87-90
40-50% rh

lights out:

77-80
40-45 % rh

i have a DustShroom on one end of my hood and a 745cfm bracketed to my door frame

i am going to take pics of the construction and upload them too for feedback and input as well , but i removed my door and built card board housings for my intake/outtake exhausts...

i have ducting held up w/ bungee cord stretching across my bedroom and out to my "stealth tarp covered balcony" this runs about 14 ft and i am bringing in cooled air from the a/c unit in my DYI intake box that has a 10" fan blowing air in from my air-conditioned living room about the same length

so here is my system

the first pic was my blue dreams in the shitty soil...

beginners mistake :)

i plant start slowly feeding advanced sensi grow a and b and keep light and easy starting at 1/8th strength and going to w-w-f-w-w-f

i will top a couple if these ladies, but since its my first run i want to keep it as simple as possible

i plan to veg everything for 3 more weeks then flower for 8 weeks... will be buying carbon scrubber by 2nd week of flowering :)

any help and advice along the way will be greatly appreciated

this is a legal prop 215 medical garden :) thanks in advance

 

[skindeep35]

oh yeah and here are the 8 ladies together

im buying a 3x3 botinicare tray tomorrow :)

quick update

after their 6 hr nap today the blue dreams were looking pretty bad... i fed them 400 (ml ph 6.8) yesterday and they sucked it all up

i watered them and now they seem fine..first pic is before and the second is after :)... they have been through hell

if they are pushed that far again im not sure if that is so good...

should i give them more water at their feedings or is this normal?

this a medical grow and i just lost my job due to an injury with no health insurance...

any help on this grow would be awesome :)

[skindeep35]

sweet man thanks for checking it out and comin along for the ride :)

[skindeep35]

i have a question for senior farmers if any would be so kind to chime in on this run and help see these ladies home for christmas:icon_animal26:

im currently running a passive exhaust as pictured above but im thinkin about sealing my walk-in closet

using my DustShroom @ my intake to cool my light from outside

outside temps during the day during the period i plan to flower, and do this, will be:

79 high and 55 for the low (on average) and slowly drop to high 60's for the high

soooo...if i run co2 and watch my temps im thinkn i may squeak by this run with no a/c since outside temps are "ideal"

mind u i have an 8" air cooled hood and its pull some serious air and there lil to NO heat when i touch the glass and high today was 87 and the hottest it got today with passive intake in there was 90 with the lights on :)

any thought, suggestions or advice?

will this work?:thinking

 

[skindeep35]

UDATE:transplanted into 5 g smart pots

went really easy with the smart pots and this day 2 after the transplant

still not using any nutrients

did use 1 drop per gallon of SuperThrive to help with the move

I have a 4x4 tent with 1k in it. I run it sealed and air cool my light. Withought an ac my room runs abouyt 15*F warmer than my house. SO depending on how warm your house is you should be fine

 

[skindeep35]

IS this normal?

i used only a drop per gallon of SuperThrive to help with transplant shock


and now i am seeing 3-4 blade leaves and u can see them if u look closely at this clippling

is this normal? or is this re-vegging? or is it early signs of herms and a hormonal problem?:sweating

Quick Update

this is the one i had in the infirmary a few short days ago... she is starting to get bushy in those smart pots... 14" tall and 15" WIDE...hell to the yeah baby :party0036:

lookin good skin! ol girl is bouncin back nicely :)

hell to the yeah :)


just fed a 1/4 strength of the big bloom and grow big and man have they responded well...

(and yeah i tried to take the red out of the photo w/ my windows photo gallery ;) )

 

[skindeep35]

UPDATE.... last few days of veg... took clones

I have topped the Blue Dream twice now and the SSH HAZE is just about at a manageable height to be a part of this canopy

I am going to only flower 2 of the SSH and keep them for mothers because I am going to start a mother room for some production cloning

this is something I am really excited about and that I want to share with other medical growers

since I am unemployed due to health reasons I can generate some extra cash for the donations I can receive at my local dispensaries for my clones

one healthy mother under 400w can produce 25 nice cuttings....

this can keep my bills paid until I get back to good health
if I keep about 6 mothers under 1000w

6x25= 150 X 5. donation = 750/wk... not a bad weeks work ;)

just an idea :) but here are the pics: inoculation and flowering and a couple days
:very_first_smiley:
