Miss Stinky's First Grow Log =p

[stinkyattic]

[But not her first grow]

Hey all, it's time to finally document some of my [mis]adventures in the attic.

The votes are in, and after some consideration my next batch of seeds is going to be... (drumroll please)... PAPAYA!

My girlfriends are bugging me for more FRUIT in their diets.

This is going to be a continuation of my perpetual crop, so I'll be starting 6 or 12 seeds weekly, depending on space opening up in the grow rooms, but I'll try to follow the progress of the papaya, from start to pruning to sexing to cloning to havest.

White Rhino will probably be next on the list, then the week after, a Kush, then another fruit strain, then Power Plant, then maybe Haze, then bluemoonrocks, etc. going in the order fruity, yield, earthy, and so on.

Basic stats: Dirt grow, Botanicare nutes with organic amendments, veg under flouros then MH250, flower under HPS400 + HPS1000 as soon as the weather turns cooler.

First pics Monday.

should be good
im curious as to how you configure the 400, and the 1000 together, do you use both on the same patch of plants, or do you have some under the 400 and some under the 1000, or do you rotate them, or do you start with the 400, then put them under the 1000 as they mature??

thanks

im curious as to how you configure the 400, and the 1000 together,

Ideally they start under the 400 and move towards the 1000 as they mature, so they finish under the 1000.

In practice, whatever plant grows upwards fastest gets moved towards that end of the room sooner. That way the canopy is reasonably even. And I've been too lazy to tag my plants by date up to now.

Currently I'm not even running the 1000 because of summer heat, and using the 400 where the 1000 will be('departures' ), and a MH400 on the 'new arrivals' side of the room.

Nice to check out a female grower doing a complete log. You women are so particular that it usually makes for a informative and amusing read. Don't disapoint us. LOL
Happy growing

Oh no! Pro style!? Nooooo..... not a pro! Just a happy gardener!
And my eyes are hazel!

Okay, here's the update as promised:

Yesterday I moistened my seeds, papaya and my freebie dreamweaver x godbud.
That was around lunchtime, and this morning 3 of the papayas had already popped.
Method as follows:
2x20mL glass vials, one for each strain, washed with detergent and water, rinsed, and sterilized with rubbing alcohol ( to kill mold spores) and rinsed again with tap water.
Vials poured out leaving just a few drops of water in them.
Seeds placed in vials, labeled, sealed, and placed in my kitchen, ambient temps in the 70s.
Prepped nursery 6-packs, soil mix is mostly compost and perlite, just a touch of topsoil mixed in.
Vials shown below.

Stinky with 1400 total watts you may want to think about starting out 2 cabs and have them timed to get a harvest every 2 months behind each other start plants in cab 1 (400) then move to cab 2 (1000) when they are 1 month into flower then start cab 1 all over
