Humidifier 6L
+Some fans

I'll use BioBizz AllMix as soil, and will start the feeding with Powder Feeding mostly Indica after the pre veg.


Germination :
05.01.2013 - Day 1 : I soaked 10x Money Maker seeds in 5.5 PH water for 12h.



Day 2 : In a closed box with a wet cotton for 24h.




Day 3 : 9/10 Germination success after 24h.



Pre-Growth :
Day 5 : 9 are ok, 1 still missing.






Day 7 : 1 still missing, 1 died, the shell of a seed stuck the cotyledon, and have prevented from opening.



So they are still 8 Money Makers.


Growth :
Beggining of the first veg week :
Room Temp : 23°C-25°C
Humidity : 80%-90%
MH Bulb 5000K°
Photoperiod : 18H Lights ON - 6H Lights OFF


15-01-2013 Day 10 from germination - Day 2 Veg





First time using Powder Feeding Mostly Indica today 16.01.2013 (0.25g/L)
PH 5.7
EC 0.53 (Tap water at EC 0.2)



19-01-2013 Day 14 from germination - Day 6 Veg




Some new fresh soil for the repot.



23-01-2013 Day 18 from germination – Day 10 Veg
7 Money Maker repotted in 12L Pots
1 Money Maker repotted in 7.5L Pot
And I added a little PH 5.7 - 5.8 water

The 2 babies on the right are 2 homemade crosses, in testing (will be repotted in 7.5L Pots).





27-01-2013 Day 22 from germination – Day 14 Veg
They begin to be a bit stronger, main stems getting stronger too.
Will water today with PH 5.7 – 5.8 water






02-02-2013 Day 28 from germination – Day 20 Veg
Room temp : 24°C – 26°C
Room humidity : 65% - 75%

I watered 1 time this week with PH 5.9 water at EC 1.15 (0.75g/L Powder Feeding)
Then watered again today with PH 5.9 water at EC 1.4 (1g/L Powder Feeding)

I started my usual training on 7 of them, and 1 has been FIMed.








06-02-2013 Day 32 from germination – Day 24 Veg

I watered this week at PH 5.9 EC 1.5 they still don’t show any problems, very strong genetics.
About the FIMed one she reacts very well, I selected the lower one, in 7.5L pot it seem that’s just what she needed.








The FIMed one




10-02-2013 Day 36 from germination – Day 28 Veg
I watered this week at PH 6.0 EC 1.5-1.6

This is the last veg day I will now switch to Flowering photoperiod 12h on 12h off with a 600W HPS 2000K° bulb.
Next updates will be in post #2 (Flowering).

Señores y señoras , Carnales y carnalas , hermanos y hermanas ( a esas me las cuidan jaja), Me presento soy Canabis Ancestral un mexicano que dijo ya no mas y me puse a cultivar lo mio , por eso van a ver pocas plantas , porque son para consumo propio como el de todos ustedes ,

bueno ustedes ya cuentan con un amigo mexicano mas , en lo que pueda ayudarles y este en mis manos , tengalo por seguro que cuenten con eso , bueno muchas gracias por contar conmigo para este concurso , muchas gracias por invitarme y aceptarme en su circulo de amistad , y no se arrepentirran , gente de STRAIN HUNTERS muchas gracias ,

y a empezar , ami me toco concursar con AFGOOEY , y voy a empezar a explicar como es que culti seran cultivavo yo . No voy hacer algo que nunca lo he hecho, este es mi forma de cultivar , yo uso sustrato de fibra de cascara de coco , y de alimentacion es alimento organico que con el tiempo ire comentando , porque son puras cosas caseras que danmuy buenos resultados con respecto a los tamaños de los cogollos en CFL's , pero por lo pronto estamos asi:

Las Afgooey seran puestas a remojar 48 horas y despues pasaron a la servilleta durante 24 horas y ahora estan en unos vasos desechable para que alas dos semanas les haga el trasplant a su maceta final ,

Las Afgooey sera cultivadas desde semillas con un periodo de 12/12 en el salon de flora (armario de floracion ) tengo tres un armario de vegetativo y otro de iluminacion mixta , pero esos no vienen al caso

El salon de flora tiene 205 watts de luz calida de CFL's ,

las niñas estan desde el dia 21 de febrero en el sutrato

les dejo las fotos , sin antes comentarles que me da mucho gusto trabajar con puros master , Alguien dijo siquieres ser grande , Juntate con los grandes , les mando un saludos desde Mexico , me gustaria recibir consejos para mejorar mi manera de cultivar , es por eso que les expongo mimanera de cultivar, no me despido

Sorry got a late start on the journal. The last two months or so was a bit crazy and had some issues to deal with but back now and hopefully all smooth sailing from here.

I managed to swap some seeds with Kali so am doing one of each for this journal. I have put the specs of the tent on the pics and will try and put enough info on the pics so its nice and easy to read.

Had some problems with germinating a couple of WS and finally got one to pop but it seems like a slow starter aswell. Not sure if anyone else has had slow growth with these.

Okay so soaked the babies for 24 hours and the had them in a biltong maker (pic below) until the first fan leaves appeared. That was about seven days. Nothing special with the germinating method , pretty standard (water,paper towel,jiffy pots)

Got a new tent over the holidays aswell (crazy postage costs but I was tired of my small home made box) Trying DWC again and used 25 L buckets each with a nice big air stone. Using some 35% H202 on a weekly basis as my temps are not ideal at the moment. Its still summer here so 31 Degrees in the tent at the moment. Using a homemade co2 system (standard sugar and yeast setup). Also got my first 600 W dual spectrum bulb so hoping to see some good results.

Oh and if anyone knows the best way to take pics with a HPS light. Is there a setting on the cam I can change to help. Not much of a photo Guru and hoping someone here is ;-) Hate that HPS yellow lol

Below is a pic of a biltong maker ;-)

The little babies

The tent

And the two ladies.

Hope you guys are well and nice to be back

Anyway, this will be my 2nd batch in hydro with Powder Feeding.

i throw 6 seeds in water for 24h, then inside a wet paper cloth for another 24-36h ..

since i had some trouble with rockwool at the last batch, i decided to use root riot instead.

about 5-6 days under 150w cfl for 18h then i trnasplant the root riot into final pot with clayballs under 400w .

my 400w digital ballast is set at 75% so far with a Aggrolite bulb .

since i got surprised with "hydro stretch" on my last batch, with 3 weeks veg, i decide to only give 2 weeks to those money maker , but no fully sure yet.. will see on time ^^

so far, ph between 5.5-5.8 and EC set a 0.9. this is the first week of veg .

here's some pics to start off, i'll will upload more pics when lights turn on .

Will be updating weekly with a few pages each time, you can zoom by clicking on the pages if you have any questions about the grow feel free to ask, I will be happy to answer

Let's begin.....

Preparation of grow room

Sterilizing The Grow Room

16/02/2013

First of all i got my protection from the cleaning products, a breathing mask, eye protection, and old clothes, I'm using a diluted liquid oxygen, mixed with water at the rate of 5 ml per litre, I've pored the solution into a spray bottle then sprayed/wiped down my lights and reflectors(while turned off), extractor fan,duct pipe (inside n out),oscillating fan ,the whole grow tent,lights reflectors, pipettes and even all the wires i set up all the equipment,after i sterilized my fabric root pouches (after cleaning them with plain water to get all soil debris out) in a bucket with a mixture of 10 ml per litre of liquid oxygen then left it over night to soak ,then dried ready to be filled. now its time to sterilize my aeroponic propagator , I set it all up, water/air pumps ,air curtain & water heater. Added water and 10 ml per litre of liquid oxygen to the water tank switched it on and let it run over night ,the next day I empted the water out of the tank replaced it with fresh water an let it run for an hour empted it now its ready to go,

Clean And Calibrate Ph & Ec Pens

first i cleaned my Ph probe by using a tooth brush and a gel type soap that came with my kit i have 2 plastic containers that i filled with cold boiled water from my kettle, im using 1 container for cleaning and the second for rinsing my probe. i applied the gel to the brush and gently cleaned the glass bulb and metal temperature probe then dipping the probe and brush into the container with soapy dechlorinated water, then repeat cleaning a few more times to make sure ive cleaned any chemical residue off the glass and metal probes, i rinsed the probes with dechlorinated water, then with another tooth brush i cleaned the probes in the other container with the clean dechlorinated water get get rid of any soap,the reason i use dechlorinated water is that chlorine in normal tap water is a chemical and can leave residue on the probes which may give inaccurate readings. Thou it would be a lot cleaner water if I used distilled water. Which I don't have at the moment , will get one for next grow hopefully. Now my probes are clean i dried them ready for calibration ,i pored a Ph solution of 7 and 4 in 2 separate containers i first calibrated my pen to 7 then rinsed the probe in dechlorinated water dried the probes then calibrated it to Ph 4 rinsed and dried. now for my Ec pen, the same method applied with the rinsing and drying like with the ph pen but instead of cleaning with a tooth brush and soap it comes with a cream and flat padded type brush, this cream seems to be taking a layer off my ec probe so when cleaning i brush very gently in a curricula motion to be careful not to take to much off ,cleaned and calibrated to 2.8 then in a 1.4 Ec solution, my pen only calibrates to the 2.8 solution, the 1.4, i got separate and is used only to double check the pen is reading fine. both pens are now ready to go, sorted.

Germination

Date 17/02/2013

For germination I shall be using my aeroponic propagator to maintain the right temperature and humidity. I filled the propagator tank with dechlorinated water that I left in a open bucket for 48 hours to dechlorinate took an Ec reading that was at 0.2 very soft water in my area , im sure im going to end up with a calcium deficiency but we will wait and see. I then added ghs mother powder feed to the water till I had an Ec reading of 0.7 , set the Ph to 5.5, put in the water heater ,set at 23c and air curtain (which is like a long flexible air stone pipe ) switched on the air pump and water pump ,then filled a glass with water with a Ph of 5.5 place the glass on the planting shelf then added the 10 money maker seeds which sank to the bottom, put on the propagator lid with air vent closed to rise the humility and temperature, the temperature with light off in my grow tent is 20.3c at 2 feet high just 2 feet under my grow light,temperature at plant level is 21.2 humidity at 72%.

In the meanwhile

Stabilizing Ph in jiffy coco coir fibre plugs

I filled a bucket up of dechlorinated water adjusted the Ph to 5.5 then added to jiffy plugs to the bucket and left for a few hours, came back to to check the Ph which was now reading 5.4 so I raised the Ph to 5.5 again and left over night then rechecked the Ph , reading 5.5 stabilized accomplished I then added the jiffy plugs to the aeroponic propagator ready for the seeds to go in.

Back to germination

Date 18/02/2013

After 12 hours the first 2 seeds cracked so I planted them into the jiffy plugs about 1/2 inch deep with the root at the top pointed downwards but before I planted them I checked the Ph that was reading 5.5 and Ec at 0.7 all good no change there ,with the rest of my seeds I doubled up on toilet paper to form a thick layer on a plate, poured the seeds and water on to the toilet paper ,wrapped up the seeds and put it in the propagator with the plate upside down to keep the seeds in the dark put on the lid my aeroponic propagator an left for 24 hours.

Date 19/02/2013

All have cracked so I planted them all into my jiffy plugs and switched on my grow light with the MH duel spectrum bulb for vegetative growth one of the first seeds that cracked the day before is starting to pop out the jiffy plug im going to name this plant (first lady) he he I came back after 2 hours to check the temperature that is reading 32 with my propagator lid on so I left the lid off then came back to check the temperature after an hour that now reads 27c still a little to hot I think so I clipped my fan onto my aeroponic propagator pointing to cool down that area now the temperature is reading about 25c with lights on that's good enough for me water temperature is reading 23c that's all good to, humidity is a little low at 49 but im not to concerned its at 70 at ground level I believe its only reading 49 because of the fan.

Date 22/02/2013

Ok all my seeds have shot up out of the jiffy plugs still with shell hats on apart from first lady who is nearly free, the temperature and humidity are all fine but when I checked the Ph and Ec of the water it is starting to rise, due to the fact that the water is evaporating leaving a higher Ec and Ph levels, Ph was reading at 5.6 and Ec at 0.9 so I added more dechlorinated water at a lower ph 5.4, slowly poured the water in my aeroponic propagator tank till I got the Ph of 5.5 and Ec to 0.7 I used about 2little of water,now all is back to normal,sweet as.

Hello first of all thanks for the team green house to crated this contest .

for this culture i have planned 15 days of growth depending the size 4 money maker :2 with powerfeed waterfarm and soil and 2 with plagron

MONEY MAKER variety kush.kushkush....... flowering time 8 at 9 weeks

The set up is as usuel :silverbox evo 104x104x200

ballast lumatek 400 watts

reflector hydrostar with glass

extractor rk 125 350m3/h 4 speed level

intractor 150m3/h

bulb greenpower philips

Fertilizer : powerfeeding indica 16+6+26

plagron: power roots alga grow + bloom vita race pure enzym green sensation

Right lets get started on the 11th i decided its time i carnt wait no longer so i started germination on 6 white~lemon.

I soaked some paper towel and placed them in 2 to a piece of paper towel just the way i do it then placed them on top of my 500l aquarium just to keep them warm.

36 hours later 13th it took the seed and placed them in cocco plugs all pre soaked in ph'd water at 5.6 ppm 300 water temp 18.3 at time and wont really go above 19.7 well int the first week they are all doin ok apart from 1 whitch hasent popped throu yet.

when i checked them this morning 1 had like pushed its self right out the soil and nearly laid out on the propargator tray so had to do some gentle surgery getting it back in.

Right so the veg room is 18x18 inch x30 inch with 2 flourecent light just to bring them up because my 125watt is to big for this room it would dry them out to quickly room is kept at a constant 18c lights are on 24hour.

I was ment to be starting just after xmas as thats when my other plants finished but a good freind off mine had some troubles at home and asked me if i would take on his lovley ladies as he couldent finish them well it was either that or them be cut down and i couldent bare to think that i had let these 3 beauties go in the bin they should be finished in about 2/3 weeks so will move mine on then into the larger room were they will stay for the duration.

They will be feed on GHSC powder feed for hybrids on a run to waste system.

For this grow, i will be using a straight Coco medium. No perlite, no vermiculite, no added nutrients to the medium. i am doing this so that the plants will be be responding souly to the nutrients i feed them and nothing else.

As i said i planted 4 white lemon seeds today once the seeds pop i will start them on a floresent bulb until they are developed seedlings then slowly introduce them to the MH 400W blub for veg, after a short veg period i will start flowering at which time the MH blub goes back on the shelf and out comes the 400W HPS.

a quick list of all the ingredients involed in this grow:

1. 4 GHSC White lemon seed's - free, thank you green house

2. 1 brand new powersun 400W digital ballest , mogel and reflector - 150$ canadian

3. 1 brand new 400W sylvania Metalarc MH blub for veg - 25$ canadian

4. 1 brand new 400W sylvania Lumalux HPS bulb for flowering - free with light kit

5. 4 2 gallon pots to start with catch trays for run off - free with lighting kit

6. coco for medium - so far i have used less then 5$'s worth of a 15$ brick

7. GHSC Powderfeeding Hybrid - free, thanks to green house seed co

8. General hydroponic's Flora nova - free left over from previous grow

9. make shift watering jug - 99 cents

total cost for this grow $ 180.99 canadian, mind you i will get many crops out of my ballest and probably 4 - 6 crops out of the bulbs. so let's see what kinda damage i can do.

a picture of the free kit i received from green house for entering the contest within the first 300 entries.

i don't germinate seeds before planting them i just throw them in the medium about an inch down asshole up and apply water. so for now all i have to share is photo's of my set up but stay tuned as i will be updateing this journal very often, and share loads of pictures.

GHSC White lemon not yet ready to come out of its shell but soon enough!!!

stay tuned for an update as soon as they pop!

Moved into homebase homebrand soil with peralite on the 10th only 1 made it.

This is her this week:

More detailed post later this week after my next few trips to visit

Edit: Oh yeah we've been watering with 6.2ph Aqua Pura water with no feed so far, mainly due to not being able to measure out the tiny amount we need for this early for just one plant, we're looking into some scales or something.

CHeers guys and good luck to everyone!!

I startet with my "Motherplants" in September, begin of Oktober i "harvestet" the first 10 Clones of my AMS Plant. They are now about 43cm tall, and will be starting their flowering period end of this week.

Attached you will find Pictures of the Motherplants on Vegetationday 73 and on the second one the AMS Clones at Day 28:

I will Keep updating in 6 Day periods if you have Inputs, Questions or improvements I willl be very greatfull!

May the force be with you!

After the success that I saw switching to the Powderfeed with my auto's about 1/2 way through the grow, I decided to add to the free 1 kg of Hybrid Powderfeed that GHSC generously sent me (to be used for the Trainwreck during flowering) by purchasing 1 kg of Mother's Powderfeed for both strains for vegetative growth & 1 kg of Sativa (called "Long Flowering" for Canada & the USA customers lol) for the Super Lemon Haze plants during flowering.

As you can see in the picture, they also kindly and generously sent me a free hat (my first GHSC item!) after I spoke with them by phone when my dumb ass (see also stoned) accidentally clicked and ordered 2 bags of Mother Powderfeed by mistake I have to say that the guys at the Powderfeed store were more than friendly and easy to deal with. Thanks Mike, and thanks to the kind gentleman who answered my call, in Dutch, and got a good laugh when I innocently asked if he spoke English and then replied in perfect English, "Why yes of course" LOL.

Oh boy..most Dutch speak English don't they? I can be so ignorant sometimes I thought many did but..

I need to thank Bigbrown for the "Yin-Yang" name, when I mentioned the strains I was thinking he said something about it being a real Yin-Yang grow, and he's right with two powerful strains at very opposite ends of the effects spectrum

My plans so far are to germinate 6 seeds, 3 from each strain, grow them all out until they are ready to transplant into the 23 liter containers and go into the scrog keeping the 2 best from each strain and culling the other 2. I'm also thinking of doing a comparison with some plants receiving only the Powderfeed & the others the Powderfeed plus a few additives but I'm not 100% sure how I want to do that with 3 plants from each strain or exactly what additives I want to use. I might try just Powderfeed on 1 plant from each strain and additives on the other 2 plants for vegging, then move to 1 plant from each strain receiving only Powderfeed and the other 1 from each strain Powderfeed plus additives once they move into the 23 L pots. If anyone has any suggestions or comments please feel free to voice them

I'm hoping to see/show that while the plants with additives may do a little better, there is not a huge difference between them and that the increased ease of use, and lower cost of using just the Powderfeed makes it an awesome product. But we will have to see, the purely Powderfeed plants may even outperform the plants with additives..that would be cool!! What I'm really hoping that I see that purchasing all of these additives and mixing them is a waste of my time and money But I'm a tinker, I just have to screw with stuff and try and make it a little better lol

I'm not germinating today, germination date is January 2nd, same date as the harvest of my 3 remaining autos which I will hang to dry in the grow tent since it will not be in use until the SLH & Trainwreck babies grow bigger (and since it has a carbon filter!). I would start them right away but my seedling area right now is in the same room as my veg/flowering tent and it is at about 30-32% rH right now to finish flowering. So just before they are done I will be cranking up the 9 gallon humidifier shown in the picture that I just purchased specifically for this purpose to get rH to about 60% which will be perfect for a nice slow dry of the 3 plants from my last grow, and high enough for seedlings to start off comfortably.

More pictures and details about gear and nutrients will follow with germination pictures next post which should be Jan 03 or 04th. I am picking up a few new things..an intake fan for the tent, an EC meter, and a 4th LED for vegetative growth and supplementary flowering lighting in the tent for sure.

So that being said here are a few pictures of awesome GHSC products to start of this grow journal, as well as the awesome new Bob Marley shirt I got as a Christmas gift

Best of luck to all growers and friends!

PEACE

EDIT: Ya I just realized I put the wrong package of seeds in front of the wrong Powderfeed..in case anyone is concerned that I may not know which one to use with what strain LOL

Well this will be my first grow journal here at Strain-Hunter.

I had some probs with an earlier grow session but afterall it turned out prety well.

I started 3 weeks ago to start some new life with:

3 GH-Cheese

2 Lemonskunk instead of one

1 Chemdog

Using:

HPS 250W

Small tent: 90x90x160

-Soilground for the first weeks.

-Plagron Batmix

-Plagron roots till the third week on 12/12

-Plagron bloom and green sensation

Using the Plagron 100% BIO as you can see so don't have to pay attention to the PH, they say.

Step by step:

1: Started with putting the seeds +/- 20 Hours into cups of water.

2: After those 20 hours i placed them between not to wet tissues.

3: 1,5 days the roots came out nice and placed the seeds in small containers with soilground.

Nothing wrong yet

After 1 a 2 days the new babies came above the soilground and then it happend.

The GH cheese and the Chemdog kept on growing like they should be but the Lemonskunk is some different story.

The LS didn't grow any further see pic. Nothing special added to the soilground only water.

See pic: 1 and 2

After 3 days i saw the Cheese and Chemdog growing nice but still no progression with the two Lemonskunk. Don't know what is going on but i have throw them away because i dind't any proggression. Too bad and sad.

--Week 4 and one weeks 12/12, nice eh I have to put them early at 12/12 because of the 1,6mt high tent.

See Pic: 3

At this point the strains are 3+ weeks 12/12 and the following happend.

The Cheese start to get a bit weird, and it looks if the top of two cheese strains are falling. The humanity is at day 45-50% and at night 60-63% Temp every day is 28 degrees and at night 22 degrees.

See Pic: 4 and 5

Sometime they point to the light and a couple of hours later the can point the complete other direction??

First i thought it was a water problem so i gave them for tree days no water but saw no difference.

So i gave them once a day some water but still no changes, sometime they are right up and then they look like falling again. There is no yellow leave on any strain.

I duno what is wrong with the two Cheese strains so i hope someone can help me out a bit so the Cheese will become stabile again.

Thanks from Holland
