Grow Journal Girl Scout Cookies

Girl Scout Cookies (Purple Panty Dropper X Girl Scout Cookie Bx4)

Comments are appreciated but until I catch the timeline up will be used as a reference on future grows. All input is appreciated.

Years ago, I had several successful grows indoor using dirt. I scroged them with a 2-inch removable wire screen. Read completed grows from what forums were available (overgrow) and learned a tremendous amount from the users.

Stopped growing and using years ago but decided to pick it back up. Knew I had to get good seeds from the get-go, it took me forever to find a seed worth anything when growing in the past. Intro…. Girl Scout cookies, but that’s another story another day.

Had to design both a veg and flower in a small area approx. 2X4 grow area. First Step, clean and paint. Run new power lines with each side on its on breaker. Needed to bring fresh air in from under shop and then back out. Design with removable bottom tray and space for clones, seeds etc.

Awesome dude, good luck,

Added and suspended 1000w Led Light (Not sure what I can put here and not advertise) Pretty sure this is over kill for size of space, but if it works well, will enlarge flowering space an addition bay.
Trimmed sides of tray for easier access sliding in and out. Starting to rethink this, not sure this was my best plan. (Easy to come back and edit in afterthoughts )
Growstar 1000W led Grow Light Optical lens, 12 band Full Spectrum Beg and Bloom. Coming from HPS 400W and never used LED.

You ain't advertising, by saying what kind of light your using. Nebula loves all the information.

Not going to post all the pictures for this, but i planted six bag seed into the AG one sprouted.... Was not confident in my seed starting attempt so left the one that did start and some cloning attemps in until I received the good seed. The big plant in the back got ballsy on me so I cut it down and planted 4 seeds, hoping one would grow. All four sprouted (3 more than I needed, but good to make sure I had a female mother.

Thank You

thats so crazy, ever seen that system before, can you tell me al about it ?? haha

Moved all four seeds to a aftermarket DWC (Think that's the correct term), dripped from top. Have to say they looked awesome after seeding.

 

[RagWeedDWC]

I had never seen it before either, but in the past I rooted with a bubble stone and the adds stated it was used to seed out all sorts of stuff. As far as seed starting, I will have to say its awesome, but I'm rethinking the cloning, may go back to the bubble spare. Im at day 17 on 6 clones, and only one has started roots. It was the one suspended highest of all three from the water line. Tip barely touching, will add pictures showing on this post

The "Grow or Veg" side is pretty well set up, have a 270w Roleadro UFO Led Grow Light 270W (Looks red but plants seem to like it.

I got a couple of the old GalaxyHydros, I think they changed names to Roleandro, not positive though,
But that is a powerful light ,you got there.

 

[RagWeedDWC]

Have to agree, wait till I catch the time line up, it really shined.

09/24/18 Time Line
Plants filled the little tub with roots, had to expand (Really have to stay withing the existing space) Built a "Home made bucket" yada, yada utube video kinda thing.
and separated.
Advance Nutes at 550 PPM and hoping they keep PH acceptable, getting good measuring equipment to verify AN's guidelines. In the old dirt grows I found less is better until its not. 550 PPM is where I started.

Everyone seemed to enjoy more room, both took off roots look good (think bring cool air from below is helping keep the tubs cool, Changed to larger pump (Noisy little gripper) but pumps out the air. Attached hose to bring in cooler air, not sure it helps cooling but did help in the noise area.

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

Fine looking roots, bro. Gonna be some fine plants, by harvest! !
Keep up the good job.!

Plants were out growing the room I have, moved two into a fresh built flower chamber. I have given up on the tub, good on paper, hell to execute. Have seem several ways to train the plants, so have a new plan. In the mean time have to figure out who is male and female, built a tent on the right side, installed a zipper and separated them. 2X2, still have not figure out what to do with the extra plants.

Found a boy hiding in my flower closet, escorted him out imediately.... I know how guys are around your daughters, I try to catch them young, before any damage. Everyone is growing well, not going to try to train on this grow, just get a base line.

Still using AN, but at 750PPM on flower side, still staying around 500PPM for veg. PH has been holding around 6.10 and I complete refresh all nutes weekly. Plants are feeding well based on reading prior to refresh. Veg is around 390, flower is 680 just prior to complete refresh.

Did not plan on training but plant was just leaping up at the light, not sure if its the type of seed or the light, but seems to be stretching a lot. Veg side is just blowing out of the bucket, roots are still looking good. Noticed a little brown so added 2m hydroguard per gal (12ml)

thats as fill with roots as it possibly could, the plants, everything is fantastic.
