Dark Harvest Grow Challenge Trichomefarmer88
I will be growing two seeds of each, Gorilla Cookies Fem (from seedmans), and Ghost Train Haze Fem (from seedmans.) I will be doing all four the same way with same home made 5 gal dwc buckets. I use atleast 6 inch basket in my lids with clay pebbles as grow media.
starting seeds
I will be soaking my seeds for 24 hours in water, then will place in paper towel for 3 4 days, until white tail pops out of seed.. then will be placed in rapid rooters peat plugs. then place my plugs in a plastic cake container under a 30watt florescent tube ( Morris seed starter light) where I mist about every other day.. after plants gets there sun leaves an a nice little root system popping out,
Veg
I'll place them in the hydro buckets an into the Veg closet(about 4ft by 3ft. 9ft tall). there they will be saturated with cfl lights. I have 6 6500k an 8 3200k all bulbs are 23 watts a piece.. they will start out with just calmag an General hydroponics floratious plus an hydrogaurd... from there I will ease in nutrents an additives.. I'll be running General hydroponics maxibloom Lucas formula... half strength threw veg under clf lower watts. Also General hydroponics armor si., and some photosynthesis plus. . All will be started at half strengths an worked up. This is also the point I will top an start my manifold ( depending on time limits to how many branches).
Flower
Now I'll be flowing in my flower tent, it's 36 inch by 36 inch by 6ft tall. I run a 6inch cool tube 600watt hps. Beside a 600 watt LED. I have an 6 inch in line fan blowing 24/7 and the 6 inch out take fan is hooked up to my cool tube light an has a charcoal filter on outside of tent.. I also have a 600 watt MH light bulb that I start my flower with. I'll be running full strength Lucas with maxi bloom, calmag, big bud, hydrogaurd, rock resinator, photo plus, an will end with over drive replacing the big bud, with a bit of canazymes. Everything will be started half strength an work up to full.. will do a little deflation start of flower, will super crop big branches out if needed.. an just try to tuck more than cut out possible..
dark period
Now in hydro I've only been flushing about 3 to 6 days. I'm this time period the plants get plain water phd at 5.8. About six to three days before the flush I switch my hps bulb to MH bulb.. an turn only my infrared light on my LED.. then when i flush i take all finished plants out of tent an put bedside it in pure darkness for 3 to 7 days max.. i will probably switch days on each plant to find what works best.. I harvest the trichomes not the bud... so maybe I'll try switching up a bit here an there but will keep everything posted.
Info
I started growing because of my old head came by about two an half years ago, an had three outside pink kush plants, an they where getting to big for her porch. So I have it a shot an at the end only one made it... cfllights an just thrown in my basement .. crazy times.. but I smoker medical buds because of all my stomach problem.. I have I.B.S. an a few others that the buds really help! But even before my stomach problems I've always smoke, for as long as i could remember..
