Hello my fellow horticulturists,
I've been meaning to start this grow journal a while back, and its been a rather long journey to realise this.
Somtimes i think the hassle i went through to accomplish this isnt really worth it...but then I'm me.
Stubborn and determined i carried on surpassing obstacle after obstacle and finally ended up getting my shit together and say FUCK YOU WORLD.
I'm bitter about many things, losing a good friend because he stuck up for me (its the longest most fucked up story and not the story i'm going to tell).
He was a fighter, a surviver and most of all, a friend one can only be happy about having, even if he remains in memories only.
This grow is for you Arnaud, I wont forget!
That sayd, here are the plans, and the expected results.
Setup:
3 x 600W HPS (PP bulbs)
3 x Cooltube reflectors with 1 x 150 RVK extractor fan.
1 x 125 carbon filter with 1 x 125 RVK extractor fan.
40 x 5 litre pots with 4 x 10 pot trays.
Nutes:
Biobizz range of Bloom/Grow/Topmax
Soil:
Canna professional with 20% perlite added and 10% Vermiculite.
Strains:
Himalayan Gold
Green Spirit
K2 (coming soon)
Grow room dimensions:
1.5m x 2.3m
Goal:
80 harvested plants in a period of 5 months.
Bare in mind that i will document this grow as much as I can, but i may lay low at times.
This is still a good stage to start the journal since i have 20 clones ready and vegging (with 1 week offset).
more clones will be made as soon as i got some secondary growth going.
I was actually meant to get 40 clones going at the same time, but i didnt have enough plants to start out with. But that's not too much of a drag since this way after 8 weeks, i get to harvest 10 plants each week.
which means that once I've harvested the last set of 10 plants, ill only have to wait 4 weeks for the new set of 10 plants (set 5) to be ready for harvest.
Not quite perpetual, but hey, i work with what i have.
The main grow room is meant for flowering only, so I'll be transporting clones as they are ready for flowering.
Techniques on how I go about doing so will be discussed at further stages.
So here you have it.
Now for the pics.
1-Carbon filter with RVK+extraction tube leading to the isolated loft and on the left is the extractio tube not connected to the shades.
2-the top view of that picture, drilled holes into the plasterboard, simple.
3-mamoth 150RVK sucking air from the loft into the coolshades (added a dust guard inside the tube which isnt visible here)
4-Top view of the shades.
5-bottom view of the shades
6-The donors which were placed there about 1 week ago.
7-Himalayan gold clone batch
8-Green spirit clone batch
So my friends, I hope i can please some eyes, and if you have any questions, feel entirely free to ask, I'll be happy to answer them to the best of my knowlege.
Grow on brothers and sisters.
