Hello everyone, First of all I would like to thank Green House Seeds, Strain Hunters and all the people handling this contest, you are doing an amazing job. This grow will be focused on Money Makers. I planned on 4 growth weeks, then 8 to 10+ flowering weeks according to the differents phenotypes. Let the images load for better readability (many images to be displayed, this may vary depending on your connection.) ================================================================================== (Click on a link to go directly in a post.) Germination - Pre Veg - Veg in post #1. (You are here) Flowering in post #2. Harvest - Dry Buds - Ice-O-Lator - Tips etc... in post #3. ================================================================================== The stuff detail : Room 120x120x200 Dimmable Digital Ballast Lumatek 400W - 600W MH Bulb 600W 5000K° for the veg HPS Bulb 600W 2000K° for the flowering Prima Klima Extractor 160mm 820 m3/h + dimmer Prima Klima Carbon Filter 150 mm 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).
