thanks justanotherbozo, Shovelhandle, keeko

keeko probably wont go up to 250hps but i will add more lumens with cfls or maybe see if I can get a 400 or 600 switchable from a friend.

more info......
heres some other info some may find useful. This is an all soil grow using pots starting from dixie cups and 16oz. soda bottles then to 1 gallon pots then finally to 3 gallons to finish off. Eventually I plan to flower in 1 gallons instead of 3, and do a perpetual grow.

My soil is from the homedepot and its usually whatevers available that suites my preferences. I add 1-1 parts of "foam rock" mix it up in my bin, and thats all. I dont add any bone/blood meal, lime, or anything extra. I forget what brand I bought but it was a "premium potting soil" in a brown bag. (Ill post the brand/pics later)

STRAINS
Lets get into the flavors now. Currently I have 5 strains growing but will bring it down to 2 after the second flowering. All were started from seed with all sorts of germination techniques. I did some in paper towels and some soaked in water, then planted in either rockwool or a peat pellet. I found that I had best results when I soaked them in distilled water til they split open and TAP root shows a lil. Then put it in a paper towel for a day or 2 til the root is stronger and longer, then plant into rockwool/soil.

Most seeds were bagseed except the HB which is Hashberry :jointsmile:. The others include a strain I grew that had a couple "nanners" that I used to make 6 seeds, named Hgs or Home grown seed. Next I tried some really old seeds I had from about 7-8 years ago, named Obs for Old bagseed. The last 2 was some great smoke and had a couple seeds. First is the GVxL which stands for Grapevine X Lavender, and finally the KM sisters. The KM stands for KALIMIST (yummy sativa) and I have 3 of them. KM1 is the oldest and got topped at the 7th node, KM2,3 are a week or 2 younger and didnt get topped. All girls are under LST to keep heights down.

CLONES
Hmmmmm lets just say I have to many right now. I took cuttings from every plant except the GVxL. Ten cuttings have rooted well and were transplanted into dixie cups and are vegging. I then have another 9 I cut the other week that are rooted but I dont have much space left so I need to cull some of the bad ones . Ill get into my cloning method in another post for the readers. Oh yeah I orginally had a bubble cloner that only rooted "ONE" cutting after over a month so I tossed it and the cuttings. The one that did root is a KM1 clone in my DWC bucket with a sister clone done in rockwool.


guess what.......................................Im tired of typing check back later



stay irie
