Howdy Folks! Well, after a little time to clean out our "Garden", Trying to make sure we got rid of all the frigg'in spider-mites,ect. ect., moveing the lights around, well, Here we go again! For you folks who have'ent seen our other "Grow Journal" our thinking for our garden { and why we grow in the first place} is very simple; After growing weary of constantly spending higher and higher money for "Mid"-to "High" grade smoke over the years, we decided to spend that money on growing our own. Let's say you spend around $120.00 for a 1/4 Oz. every 2 weeks. [ Personaly, A 1/4 Oz.'s gone after 5 days around My house, but , we'll say you're not that heavy a smoker .] That's $240.00 a month! And For What?? Now, I'm not trying to talk down were ever you buy your smoke from. Just ask yourself "How far-down the line do I stand?" The Grower is going to keep the "Kindest" Buds for himself, The Guy who gets it next takes the best from his bag,ect.ect. For the same $$ you spend to smoke 5th or 20th timed handeled bud, you can grow your own smoke, "The Likes You Have Never Tasted Before". Now, not everyone can afford 1000 Watt HPS,or the money to run them. We use one 175w MH, and one 105 CFL, in our bloom area. The "Nursery" has 3 Smaller CFL's. Both rooms are closets, Veg's 4' x 3' x 5' , Bloom area 6' x 2 1/2' x 5' . On the walls of the Bloom area is insulation foam, does not stay wet, good reflective surface, easy clean. We use Superthrive, luquid seaweed, "Earth Juice" Grow, KoolBloom and Molasses / Floralicious plus {A free sample that came w/ our MH light!} and tap-water. We grow in Soil and Pearlite. Both Rooms have constant air-circulation w/ small rotateing fans. Temps run around 85-95 days and drops to around 72 at night. The plants in the Bloom area were planted around 9/15/06 as seeds, as of today, 11/23, The larger one is 18 in. tall and had been "pinched" for more bud sites. The smaller one is 14 in. tall and looks stunted, but has been growing at a slower pace. Both are supriseingly strong growers, with strong Viens, thick center stalks, and a wonderful scent when rubbed w/ fingers, spicey, with a strong lemon smell. Both are "Desert Lights", given to us by "Frends". The seedlings in the dark green pots are "Grandaddy Purple"'s ,planted 11/15 and are only 1 1/4 in. tall. { ain't they cute? } The 3 seedlings in the 2 brown pots are our experimental sprouts, the 2 in one pot are a cross of a Desert lights xNorthern lights x Skunk #1, the other seedling is a Suprise Sprout from some "Mystery Seeds", Could be a "True" Skunk {We're Hopeing} or ? Who knows, our frend only smokes "High"-Grade, So we're trying them out. I will be trying to post pic's at least once a week, hope you all like these pic's, I know my wife and I will be enjoying some very tasty smoke when we are done with this one! The clones are N.L. x SK #1.
