Yard Dog's Indoor Grow

[Yard dog]

Finally took the time to start a grow journal.
I currently have a 2x5 veg space in a closet. Running an 8 bulb T5HO fixture with 6500K bulbs. I have one bulb removed for now to help with heat, I have not enclosed my veg space yet so heat exchangebhas been a small concern. Life's been way to hectic and although it isn't ideal, it does the job.
My bloom cabinet was built last year. Measures 4x6, 5 and a half feet tall. Running a 6 inch exhaust fan with a 1K HPS in a cool tube fixture.
The plants in bloom are my third grow. I let a Hermie sneak up on me last week and it caught me with my pants down.
The clones are bpu.

Girls in bloom; pineapple express, wonder woman, blue's, bpu, bubblissious (sp?).
Swapped over to GH 3 part with kool bloom,

growing in coco.

I gonna pull up a chair and follow along bro. Glad ya decided to do a grow journal. Got mine going, do an update once a week. Good luck, looks like ya got a green paw or two to me.

Thanks yooper, I'll head your way and stop by your grow today. I won't take credit for success. I have two fantastic growers helping me along.
without their advice, I'd still be floundering along with half dead plants. Lol

Looks like the small ones in the trays could use a little more calcium... I see the new growth tips burning a little.

I also think you could use a little magnesium as some of your older leaves are yellow between the veins and on the edges.

Thanks Ken dog. The little square pots are rooted clones. they was taken from a bubble cloner into coco when this picture was taken. Should start looking better in a day or so. I ran out of epsom salt last week. Need to stop by and get a bag.

Great looking growing space. Have you ever looked into "Ocra" reflective material - better than mylar, paint,ect - a bit expensive. If you do the there site (Ocra) that have a side-by-side set up one with mylar and one with Ocra; WOW !! unbelievable difference. Hey just a though

To be honest, the flat white will be good enough for me. I will spend money on the necessity's, lights fan ext. But as you can see by the pictures, I use a coffee can cloner. Cat litter water and nute buckets. I'm a cheap ass.

We need to use what we have - I agree - equipment can be pricy

I'll get consistent grows coming in, and then I'll find things I want to upgrade. I've been at it for about a year and I just now have a comfortable hold on things.

you will find that you will all ways improve/make changes after each grow and therefore each grow is all ways be better than your last !!!!!!!

 

[yooper420]

I usually make a change/improvement/addition after each grow. Have a couple ideas to implement after this grow. It`s a never ending process, so it seems.

 

[Yard dog]

Like a car restoration. It may be "done" but you will always find something to change or do.

 

[Purpletrain]

The problem with change is it nickel and dimes you to death this fitting or that controller it can add up in a hurry ..
Also it best noted that make notes on your changes or what you doing differently
Cause sometimes change is for the worse its never always for the better

 

[Yard dog]

I have a notebook, sections for veg and bloom. I keep detailed notes to help me. Sure is nice to fall back on good notes to refresh my memory.

A little update. I cut the wonder woman yesterday, seeds was done. Didn't have enough bud to even try and salvage. Tossed her in the trash. She was seeded by a Hermie. I took down a Blues and trimmed. No pics of her, I did get a few pics of the pineapple express, she has about 15-20 days to go. She's putting some weight on now.
My bpu clones are doing well, I am down to 8, my cat helps me and I forgot he was in the room and left him unsupervised. Thankfully he only had time to eat the one little clone. Whew. The picture of the plant just starting to bud is a the mother of the clones. Once my bloom finishes in a few weeks I'll be running a whole lineup of bpu. Might throw an oddball in there as a preliminary run, so I can plan on the next run. Snow lotus sprouts are doing fine. All in all, once I swapped to coco and gh 3 part it's been smooth sailing. I'll snap a few pics of the veg space today.

 

[umbra]

wow the bpu is looking sexy

 

[Yard dog]

Yes she is umbra. She is about 10 days in flower I have noticed she doesn't stretch much during flower.
I'm looking forward to running the clones through bloom.

 

[Burned Haze]

Hey there ! Nice grow so far and nice strain choices (subbed for the future )

Anyways hope for more bud porn and success to ya :)
