Mrs. McToker and I were not able to get our second grow going after Xmas as we had originally planned. One of our kids moved back in with us after getting out of the Military. But, he??s moving out soon to take a new job up north. Whoopie!!! I told the Mrs. that we??ll be free to get naked or grow another crop. She insists that nobody wants to see me naked so, it looks we??ll start another grow.

We thought seriously about ordering some beans but ultimately decided to grow from the same batch of bagseed that we used for the last grow. Because we are making a couple changes in our setup, we wanted to see just how much quantity and quality might improve. We figured the best test was to grow from the same batch of seeds. The changes are Hempy Buckets instead of soil and HPS lighting for flowering instead of the CFL??s we used last time. CFL??s will still be used for vegging.

We are anxious to get this second grow going and apply all that we learned on the first grow.

The last grow was all CFL??s in soil.

For this grow, here??s the plan:

Homebox S indoor greenhouse ~ 31.5 x 31.5 inches (6.9 sq. ft.) x 63 inches tall

4? Vortex fan

Carbonaire CA-4 carbon filter

Hempy buckets

Regular household CFL bulbs for vegging. 6500k ~ 26 watt bulbs

250 watt HPS for flowering (haven??t bought the light yet ~ it will be an air-cooled hood with, most likely, a Lumitek ballast)

R/O water

Nutrients will be Cal-Mag, Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Grow, Pure Blend Pro Bloom, with a little help from Molasses and Sweet

The plan is to LST all the plants ~ No Fimming or Topping

This grow should use up our supply of bagseed. If all goes well (knock wood), we??ll go for some ??store bought? beans next time.

We??ll start germinating in the next couple days. Gotta get the timing right. In the meantime, I??ve been brushing up and catching up on the forum.:jointsmile:
