Namaste and one love everyone!
Every grower has her or his methodology and routine and this thread documents mine. I believe in pure organic medicine that isn't reliant upon synthetic chemical nutrients. I've noticed that there are many new comers to this hobby and misinform is rampant online. My presidential suite is currently occupied with five lovely Lemon OG Kush. This is my first time working with such a versatile strain that grows like Spanish moss! Currently I reside in a state that allows cultivation so I can take full advantage of that. To be safe I've decided to stay under six specimen to preserve some legitimacy to my garden. Garden?... Yea, you did read that right, I also have Tomato(2 types), bell pepper(3 types), basil, mint, green onion, italian brocolinni, brussel sprouts (what?), corn, potato, lavender, a lovely jasmine (that's blossoming) and an orchid.
Before the flame war begins, my short bio:
I studied Computer Science at UCF in Florida then moved west back to southern California. I'm currently working towards finishing graduate school and then pursue my doctorates. My experience in the garden comes from nine years working at a family foliage nursery in Florida. My extensive work with tissue culture and home gardening, has increased my desire to research botany and has helped me gain insight on how to become a better horticulturalist. My only goal is to gain wisdom and further explore my love for this flower. My goal is to stop misinformation and spread truth. However, I don't share certain trade secrets, sorry... :p if you didn't get the hands on experience you can't learn and grow.
When I say better I also refer to "efficiency" which should be everyone's goal. Why? Well, when you work efficiently you save time and $$dollheirs$$, I chose to work with this flower because my current position in academia exhaust my time and automation has preserved my love for growing and restored my faith in agriculture. However, due to the fact that with the right information and patience "little" work is needed.
Before I begin let me clarify that hydroponics is the growth of plants in a soiless medium. The medium can be a plethora of things from sand to straight perlite and is all the same concept. However, it is possible to practice this style using soil. For example a wic system that uses a wic to diffuse water/nutrients into the soil. You never water and just watch it flourish while being indoors or outdoors. Anyways, I hate to hear the term used loosely by would be growers who are impatient and produce sub par medicines. I DO NOT use synthetic fertilizers of any kind only compost (I make), watering I prefer to use Ph'd R/O water only, and I have been experimenting with pure growth hormones GA3, NAA, and IBA to hasten growth and flowering naturally.
Don't buy water and just buy a filter that attaches to your main line or rent a water dispenser. The best part is that you can choose if you want R/O, carbon ect. My current lamps are two LED lamps (300x3w chips and 900x5w chips), believe it or not one is more red and holds multiple purposes, while the bigger lamp is strictly for vegging. My chamber is setup to run humidity, lighting and ventilation automatically. I could automate watering but prefer to spend time with my babies. Each chamber is only big enough for one maybe two people but make up for depth in width and height. My ceiling is ten feet high so I exploit that.
Note: Every grower has their preference and shit... by all means stick to it!
Believe it or not human urine contains NO ammonia and is completely sterile. I'm not sure what hydroponic store I was browsing and I over heard an employee say that to a customer. It behooved me to take action and I'm here writing my first ever journal. With that said I use my own urine in the evening time to give extra N during the vegetative stage. I've read so much about the use of hormones in vegetative growth but again... They are all in synthetics and that's no bueno! So I'll improvise and spend my money on quality grow equipment. I've been experimenting with a solution of GA3 and NAA as a foliary spray and the growth is quite noticeable. I have pictures but I'll upload them upon request only. They are on my iphone and I hate this fucking phone. Iphone 6S is a nice phone but drives the computer programmer nuts! I miss my android but aren't impressed by what Samsung has to offer... * le sigh* Anyways, photographic images show my current growth with this water based solution. (Keep in mind GA3 MUST be dissolved w/ a solvent. It's not H2O soluble) Temperatures remain within a range of 40-60% with an avg. of 50%, I spray every few hours and have no issues with pests. Because I'm completely sanitary and indoors I have yet an issue. My garden is always clean and my tools are sanitized with 91% or greater non-denatured alcohol. My medium is a personal blend but I used coco, perlite, sand, river rock, myochorizae, EW castings and then amend some CA into the mix. I use LST techniques only because I've no reason to fim or top my specimens. They are vigorous and growing exponentially for being a month old. I will attach some pictures as proof. I'm planing on being online a lot to anwser questions as they come in.
Note: the sand is the top layer and prevents the small water gnats we all hate. I've also noticed I don't have a mold/mildew issue. Cleanliness may also attribute to this greatly.
Ok, well I have run out of things to say. I hope I get lots of questions and help a lots of newbies grow a better crop. I attached one picture which is my profile pic as well. This is a frankenstein waiting to happen as its only a month old clone and about 2.00 ft tall.(taken from mature mother) This month includes the 4-10 days of rooting the cutting. Again, I need more time to further investigate the effect and find the equilibrium dosage for cannabis.
