Hellow fellow growers i would like to start with thanking GHS for giving me this grate opportunity,i know its getting late but i should of started this grow in jan but was moving to a new flat in feb so had to put the cup on hold now we all have settled in its time to start growing again ,so here i go WELCOME TO CHRONIC GROWERS WORLD CUP GROW JOURNAL FEACHERING MONEY MAKER Equipment list Green room 100 grow tent (1.2m x 1.2m x 2m). 600w lumatek digital dimmable ballast. 600w sunmaster dual spectrum mh & hps bulbs.

Liquid Oxygen Cal/Mag supplement (if needed) Clip on normal light bulb for taking photos 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.

hi came across these plants when serching the net and not seen anybody mention it on here so thought i would, been reading a bit about them ,they say it grows wild in bhutan then i found a seed bank selling them, thought theese could be a grate addition to the strain hunters seedbank ,here is some info given by holy smokes seed bank. From the Mountains of Bhutan for over a thousand years Bhutanese farmers have been using this strain. Has a seriously nice buzz to it. This is something you can smoke all day long and feel good. For centuries it has been known for its amazing medicinal properties. This is a landmark strain in the sativas and a must have for the connoisseur. Variety Type: Bhutan Thimphu THC: Medium 11-12% Yield: 750-1000 g/m2 Height: 1.2-3m Indoor/outdoor Grow: Difficulty moderate Slightly acidic prep Genetics: 100% Bhutanese Thimphu! Ascetics: Multi branch tree Buds: Heavy branched Flavour: Distinct Sweet & sour sounds good to me has anybody ever smoked this strain ? the pic looks very nice indeed

Yes I would like to see some real photos of the dried cannabis be grate to see

I WANT A DRILL BILL lol im sure its pricey but lovely pice of art work love it

Man I think I'm going to copy what you are doing as I've never got the results that you have got , please be my tutor lol I think craming 10 plants in 4l pot is doing me no favours I'm not documenting I'm current grow as they are not gh plants but I have got 4 plants in 20l pot this time to see if I can get more out of my girls , let me tell you something smoky if you don't win the auto cup with this grow then something isn't right lol love it I don't have a inlet fan like you I just open the side vent to let air get pulled in from the extractor fan in the tent I don't know if this might be letting me down to anyway man peace and hope u win u have put a lot into this grow

Hi smoky I think kalashnikova auto is a nice plant to grow, the 10 I grew was more leaning towards white widow with a few phenotypes in there some big ass buds with a good covering of thc with the smaller buded plants very very white indeed , when smoking you will find differnt highs in there but expect no sleep if you smoke it before bed as these sexy girls will keep you awake all night lol Hope your led grow light helps bring them buds nice and fat with no dry bits dotted about , keeping the light away from the buds with be on my mind thank u for that advice , I did have another plant a few grows ago that suffered the same so not to sure if the led being to close was the cause but ll keep it in mind , I will pop in on your grow to see then girls in action peace man

can any concentrate be used to help heal cancers like bubble hash instead of making oil. Surly the only difference is oil is supposed to be a bit more pure in chemicals then with bubble hash right ? I know of A guy who is asking for help with brain cancer he wants oil but can only point him in the direction of a guy with bubble hash, would this not help the same as the oil is supposed to help docs gave him less then 3 months to live nothing they can do for the guy any info and opinions welcome thanks

Coming back with prescribed cannabis from Europe sounds like he can still get put in prison this guy can't take the risk ,staying over in Spain for a few weeks while medicating sounds a better option for him but the rick simpson recommends 1g a day for 60days only if you have the money to find this will it be possible

Thanks people I've gave him the info he's needs to make a decision what he wants to do. If anyone is reading this and is thinking of doing the same. Here is a good article on the subject. http://peterreynolds.wordpress.com/2011/03/03/legal-opportunities-for-medicinal-cannabis-users/

I watched a documentary when an English person went to a doctor in holland and he gave him a few month supply of herb then he brought back into the uk do u know if this will be possible in holland still ?

Going to Spain would be good for him and his wife and 6years old daughter for last holiday together and at the same time get the high cbd extract , will a doctor there prescribe him with oil as with EU law the uk must respect all European prescreption so he can legally bring it back with him Thanks dust for your reply I'm having a chat with him tomorrow

Thanks everyone it's been a pleasure growing these plants I love the combo of led and HPS think I'm going to buy another led to go the other side of my tent Think the growth will be explosive Thanks again ppl for following my cup grow thanks and see u all soon on my next grow report

Pics will come when ready for the jars peace for now ppl

. Thanks a lot bro for being here yes when ever I use more then 12 hours with autos they seem to flower when ever they want normally 1month but when it's been on 12 they start flower after about 2weeks then after they have starting flowering turn the hours up ,the reason I never did this is because I have 4 other plants in veg in the same tent. Or that's how I would are grown them

Yes I remember u talking about the air bubble on another thread ,it's only got one of the tops the main cola these buds are not far off a coke can thickness ,I've been watering very little but often to stop to much moisture in the tent that's why they dried out by mistake but no mould at all love the size of the kalashnikova buds they are massive , I've got a 5pack of normal kalashnikova in the freezer that for sure be getting the lime light soon
