First grow log: Clones from bagseed in homemade Ebb and Flow
#295489 - 10/11/09 05:57 PM (15 years, 4 months ago) |

This is my first grow log and first hydro grow. I am growing two Ice and two Bubblegum seeds from www.marijuana-seeds.nl. ; They are gonna be living in a homemade Ebb and Flow. I made one small modification to the system and that is add an air pump and stone by running the air line through the overfill port. I'm still waiting on my light to come in: 400w Lumatek ballast with a Sun System air cooled hood and a Phillips Son Agro 430w HPS bulb. Until the light comes in I am using 220w of mixed CFL's. For fertilizers I have a Botanicare Triflex sample pack with Liquid Karma that I got for free. I will probably use Technaflora once this is gone. Only thing else I really need is a TDS/ppm meter and a tent.
10/11/09 Not much is going on yet. I germinated the seeds on the 9th and 3 have fully sprouted and the last one is poking out.
  
And here is my second flush of Penis Envy starting to come up.

Edited 1/30 to change title from Ice and Bubblegum. They were all males and now I have clones that came from bagseed.

The mushrooms were WBS spawned to coir, coffee, and verm and then cased with a light layer of verm. I have been using this in smaller casings for years with great results. First time using a monotub and I happy with the results so far. 2 1/2 oz from the first flush.
The last plant is out now. Not going to bother with a pic since it looks about the same as yesterday. The first two that popped up are already starting to show there second set of leaves.
On a bad note, the ballast that I ordered came in damaged and very used looking. The owner the shop I got it from was a complete ass saying it's impossible for that to happen. After some arguments he is going to swap it out for a new one. Now I have to wait about two more weeks to get my HPS up and running.

Here is an updated shot from today. Still nothing too exciting. One of my ICE plants seems to have stretched a little and is a bit top heavy. Should I support it up with a toothpick or something until it gets stronger?


More updates soon.

Yup currently using CFL's. I swapped out a few of my 2700k lights for 6500k lights yesterday. I have 4 27w and 1 65w at 6500k and 2 42w 2700k CFL's now. They are about 2" under the light's now. I have the lights hanging from yo-yo's now and move it up to take pictures.

Day 9
These plants are growing very quick. It looks like they might be getting nute burn slightly. I just got my TDS tester in and the ppm is reading at 470. PH all I have is drops and it is somewhere between 5.5 and 6.0. It's hard to match up the colors unless you have a good white light to use. All comments and suggestions are welcome.

10/22/09 Day 12
I think the nute burn I thought I had is actually a deficiency, not sure from what. I changed the reservoir out for the first time last night. I added Botanicare Triflex Base, Grow, Liquid Karma and Sweet at half strength. PPM is at 700 and the PH is between 5.5 and 6. I also increased the floods to every 3 hours instead of every 6.

15 Days old. They have really started to take off now that I have the nutes figured out. My ballast should be here this week and then I can put the 400w HPS on them. I'm probably going to start flowering by next weekend depending on how fast they grow.
Ice on the left, Bubblegum on the right:

Quick update. Two showed male preflowers and were pulled. I still have one Ice and one Bubblegum left. It looks like there are female preflowers starting to show up but I can't tell for sure yet and to small for a picture. I'll probably switch to 12/12 on Wednesday when I change out the reservoir. Here is a few pics from today.

Update time. Not to much going on with the plants, they are getting noticeably bigger every day. I switched the lights to 12/12 Wednesday at midnight. No definite signs of sex yet. I still see what looks like female preflowers forming, but can't tell for sure yet.
My ballast finally came in yesterday so I scrapped the CFL's and finally have my HPS up now. I also picked up a tent on Friday. Should have planned a little better though, the tent has holes for 4" ducting and my reflector is for 6". I still need to get an in line fan and will probably need a filter too pretty soon.

Some of the bigger tent's have the 6" openings. The tent I got is the Secret Jardin Dark Room 80. It's 32"x32"x63", that barely fit where I wanted it in my closet.

My other Ice plant showed some balls today so I pulled it. That's 3/4 males so far, not looking so good. Next grow I am either doing clones or feminized seeds.

My last plant turned out to be a male. I was kinda disappointed and deleted the pics. I picked up some clones 3 weeks ago and have them in there now. They have been flowering for a week now. I have been taking pics every few days and plan to upload some later on today.

Here is a pic of the bubblegum male right before I chopped him down. He got to a decent size and would have had a decent yield had it been a female. Oh well... My new grow is going great.

Here is my current grow. I have 5 clones and one from seed. The clones were originally from a lone seed found in a QP of what was called purple nurple. Who knows what it really is, but it is very tasty with a nice heady, almost trippy buzz. The one from seed is also bag seed, but I don't remember what from.
I did 15 days veg on the clones and the seedling was up for less then a week before I flipped the lights. I might have let them get a little too big for this table. I have a 4 gallon reservoir and they are already drinking a gallon a day, could be a problem later on.
Now for some pics:
The first one is the day I got the clones and the last pic is from this morning before the lights came on, day 9 of flowering. All the others are in between somewhere, I didn't keep track of dates.

Update: Flowering day 14
Things are coming along nicely with the hydro. My two potted plants seem to have a nitrogen deficiency and are little over watered, but otherwise coming right along.

Four in the ebb and flow and two in soil. After watching the difference in the two, I don't think I wanna use dirt again. The growth difference is crazy.

One seed was in soil. I had 5 clones, 1 went in dirt, the other 4, hydro. I have been feeding the plants in dirt very little. I fried my last plants and have been hesitant to feed them much this time.

I have been slowly increasing the ppms each week. I just switched to FloraNova nutes last week and aimed low instead of high. Didn't want to fuck something up changing things around.

Flowering Day 23
I have no complaints other then my house is starting to smell like marijuana potpourri. I need to get a carbon filter before the smell gets out of hand. I raised the ppm to 1100 on Friday when I changed the reservoir and the plants seem to be happy. The plant that I started from seed showed it's sex last week sometime and it's a female!! I took a few pics right before and after the lights cut on.
