Hey all,
This is my first log. It's my fifth grow, fourth doing it hydro.
I'm growing the Bubblegum strain from Serious seeds that I picked up through the friendly folks at HempDepot.com.
Here's the setup:
- 10 x 10 room, white walls, mylar on ceiling
- ventilation is with a small (and underpowered) fan to the outside world (this part will be upgraded in a while to include a carbon filter and more powerful fan)
- veg growth is under 12 23Watt CFL (6 cool and 6 soft white)
- flowering with a 400 Watt HPS
The hydro system is a simple DWC bubbler in a rubbermaid container. Bubbles come from a Hagen Maxima and 2 x 6 inch and 2 x 4 inch air stones.
I'm only growing two plants to flower at a time but starting 4 seeds to make ensure that I'll get a couple of girls. The last grow of this strain got a little too big in the flower stage so I'll be moving the plants from veg to flower 1 month after the seedlings start to veg...
Part of the goal of this grow is to establish one plant as a mother and start a cycle where I can take cuttings from the mother every few months. Up to this point I have had about a 50% success rate with cloning so I'm trying to perfect it.
I'll post some pix of the setup and the seedlings in a week or so. The seeds have just been started so it'll be a short while until there's anything green to look at :)
peace, d-oh
