My First Grow In A Long Time (4 Strains)

[BuddyLuv]

Ok guys and gals, I think I got the bugs worked out in my room. I was battling high temps and a P lockout at first but most have come full circle. I am just experimenting with a few strains for right now to find some suitable mothers. The 4 I have currently growing are as follows:

Nirvana Top 44
Nirvana Bubblicious
Nirvana White Widow
Dutch Passion Blueberry Fems

Room is 84 in.L x 79 in.W x 78 in.H. I am using 2 1000w digital ballasts with MH bulbs for veg and switching to HPS for flower and air cooled hoods. 8 in. 590 cfm centrifugal fan cooling the hoods, 6 in. 424 cfm centrifugal fan with carbon filter exhausting the room, and the central air is feeding the room with nice cold air. I am using an aerojet 4 and and a BC Northernlights Producer (which negates it's name). Nutrients are advanced sensi 2 part and voodoo juice for now. Keeping the ppm's at half (300 ppm) strength for now till next res change then bumping up to 75% then on to 100% dosage. I will play with heavy feeding after I have found a few good females to clone and populate my closet. I started 35 beans on the 1st of July and killed two that just didn't want to grow. Next few weeks I will be weeding out the males and the other weak genetics. My next grow will be much better, I promise. Anyways on to the weed porn, I know that is what everyone wants. Feel free to make any comments good or bad and please give advice or opinions. As I have stated in other threads I haven't grown indoors since the mid 90's, a lot has changed.

Mylar goes up tonight and I will be installing my CAP XGC-1. Here are a couple of the sick. One is a WW and the others are Bubblicious. Actually most of the Bubblicious got sick from the heat and nutes. But now they have a good root system and are making a full recovery.

Really nice looking set-up. I'm thinking of going with the Nivana White Widow on my next grow. Good luck with your babies.

Thanks man, your plants look like they turned out to be good yeilds beside the nanners. Bet the stuff still smokes the same though.

Thanks man, I wish it were true. I have grown every year outside and mother nature usually take care of them for me. I dabbled a little with this in the 90's but had a break in that resulted in the cops showing up when I wasn't there and finding what was left over. I figured 14 years of laying low and staying completely out of trouble (any kind), will hopefully make this grow a little more successful. Nobody and I mean nobody knows about this. Last time I was young and naive thinking that friends were truely friends, I can't say it was all negative because I learned a lot of valuable life lessons that you must experience to truely understand how life works. I will be taking a few more pics tonight after my res change and my bump up to 450 ppm's :woot:. I really can't believe how some are doing on just 300 ppm's. The only thing I am afraid of is that they may be to big in two weeks to running the 850 ppm mark. I will have to flower them. Does anyone no if you can continue to raise the ppm's while going into flower?

Thanks I tried to read your indoor journal but it too long. I have been following your outdoor journal since you posted it. I decided to buy some northern lights for my next summer grow becuase yours turned out so nice.

nice grow

1 week since the last photos. They go 12/12 tom. after I take my clones. The canopy is 18-21 inches and you can't see through it. Also I have been fighting a calcium and magnesium def., so hopefully my suppliments get here tom.

Yum

I have my HPS bulbs in and the timer set to go off tonight. I think next time I will not let them get so big, 20"-22". But that is my fault for not being prepared with the proper nutes and suppliments to fight deficiencies. I may have to tie a few down to avoid the lamp. Took all my clones last night, 10 WW, 10 Blueberry, and 9 Bubblicious. These were off the choice plants that had the best growth and resistence to nutes and stress. I hope to get a mother of ea. to keep. So far they look good, I soaked the cubes in water with Olivia's rooting solution over night, cut my clones, dipped them in Olivia's rooting gel, and stuck em straight in the cubes. I have had success with this method many times. I will have some more pics up tonight.

You are the new weed man.... grow a pound in a single bound lol

 

[BuddyLuv]

I am hoping for 2#. Got to sort out all the males and stuff yet but that is a one time thing this round. Growing from seed makes it difficult to really judge. My outdoor girls are usually clones from a few I start inside early and then sex for a week. Hoping to only have to do this once or twice a year to keep myself in free weed. I hate the dopeman, usually overpriced and a crapshoot on the quality.

 

[KGB30]

Good luck bud...Olivia's rooting gel is it good?

 

[thebest]

nice dude. how old are the plants from seed?
