Winter grow journal.

[Farmbuck]

So I decide to do a little journal this coming winter and beside I'm not going nowhere.... So this week I began to prepare my "grow room". And I'll keep the journal update if I can, and yes with pictures on how the girls are doing. Oh yes, once the girls are grown up they will be my models for my 2021 PlayBud edition .

Medium : PROMIX organic vegetable and herb mix with perlite.

Light : Viparspectra P1500 and P2000 Pro series quantum board and King Plus 2000 and 1500 blurple led.

Strains : Kali China, Kali 47, Mazar Kush, Red Lebanese and auto White Widow. (24 plants)

Actual grow space: 48 square feet excluding space for vegetables.

Nutrients. Alaska Fish, Cal-Mag, Ancient Earth , Big Bud and organic molasse.

Controllers(timer, dehumidifier heater, etc.) to keep the room confortable. Well for me at least

Cheers,

FarmBuck

That's a big grow area and about what I want to set up in the future. Big enough top do 1 grow for the year.
Subbed and along for the grow. Good luck and happy growing.

It's a dream of a grow room I look at this area you got and man it's just beautiful. But i get too excited about seeing all these pots LOL i want more than my tent holds in there. I put the breaks on myself really hard not gonna get myself into a cluster grow in my winter tent. Just sticking with my 4 photos i put the 3 auto flower seeds back into bag for future. Nope not gonna get tempted!!

[Farmbuck]

LOLLLL SoOrbudgal let say I had the blessing of wife, Like I was saying I usually have one grow per year but because of Covid-19 and staying at home I decide to keep myself busy this winter and tried some crazy experimentations.

I'd subscribe to that magazine!!!

Wow like very one else already said I’m going to say it myself. I love the grow area I can only grow in my 2x2 and 2x4 tent so I have to grow back to back. It’s not a bad thing cus I love growing but if only I could have 20 plus plants going at once I’d be stoked. I’m subbed and looking forward to the jungle grow you will have.

[Farmbuck]

Oh did I mentioned the method of growing it's gonna be be SOG and some LST

[Farmbuck]

After submerging for almost 20 hrs in a glass of distilled water, it was time to put the strains between wet paper towel on a small plate. Room is warm at 24C (75F) the RH is between 55-60 %.

Just 6 5 gallons pot left to prepare.

[Farmbuck]

After 24 hrs, tap root are showing in some of the Mazar Kush beans, pics will follow in a few days.

I love it when the seeds show their eagerness in getting started - usually come up out of the grow medium just as fast.

[Farmbuck]

You are right but there always a bit of nervousness when the other strains are falling a bit behind.

[Farmbuck]

While waiting I'm making organic nutrient out of banana skin for potassium.

1. Dry until it's crispy

2. Grind it into powder.

3. Store it a a Mason jar.

And beside wife prefer organic.

[Cali]

Farmbuck How do you apply the dry Banana skin powder? For potassium?

[Farmbuck]

Cali I use it during the flowering stage. I apply 1 to 2 tablespoons per 4 litres and once a week until I do the flush.

For potassium in banana peel I read it aids in the biosynthesis of proteins related to terpenes. So I've been doing it for 3 yrs now. Does it work ? Some claim it does.

[Farmbuck]

My Mazar Kush are sprouting real fast... Of one of the four MK you are able to see the taproot growing.

[Farmbuck]

Just completed my soil preparation pots. Now I'm waiting for the littles ones to sprout. So far 4 out of 4 of my Mazar Kush are showing their taproot. I believe they will be vigorous girls just like Wonder Woman

[PLreef]

Very nice Farmbuck. You been busy I see. And by the looks of it your gonna stay busy. 😁

[Farmbuck]

Yep PLreef this is my goal since we are staying here in the great white north this winter. Today I'll will try to "climatise" the grow room to a comfortable temp of around 24-26 C with a RH of 55% + for the seedlings. I feel the Mazar Kush will be in their pot soil beds by the end of the week.

[PLreef]

Thats great news. I went on a cleaning binge in my tent today. Emptied the whole thing, sprayed bleach and water solution everywhere then wiped it all down. Two hours later I did it again... ton of work but I want to make sure I kill all the yuck that might be hiding in there. Lol Gardening is an absolute labor of love.

[Farmbuck]

Loll you telling me lolll
