Thomic1's first (ever) grow

I was thinking that perhaps instead of siphoning from other's threads I should begin my own. So, "Ta-Da!"
Much, much more to follow..... Dated 6-9-11.

Due to the fact that there's "multiple" inquires/convo's/and im's, reposting everything here would just be plain dumb. You can pull up my beginnings and all my convo's with my name. But from here on out, this is where I'll plant my butt, plants/ask/and complete this first grow with you all.

My set up is simple:

Indoor grow with fem'ed seeds from Nirvana...
Growing: Indica/Sativa=AK48 + Sativa/Indica=Raspberry Caugh

Dirt=Black Gold
Lighting=1kw HPMH in main room/1-40w flour grow lite+1-40w daylite flour tube in the nursery.
Water=tap & rain (I wait 24hrs before using tap.)
Nuts=Atami's "B-Cuzz 'C' series" of: 1. Growth "C"=2-2-5; 2. Bloom "C"=0-17-15; 3. Flavor=0-0-9.
Cat=1-Siamese male=Monkey
Reference material= Jorge Cervantes' "The Indoor Grower's Bible", this site [and a couple other's....lol]
Exposure time (lighting): "Flower=12/12"; "Nursery=21/3". (naturally all times given are in a full weeks time frame).

That's about it, my grow room is a 6'x10' main grow room with an attached nursery at 3'x6'.
Currently there's 13 plants (in the ground so to speak). My State "now" only allows for 4-flowers, &12-clones/seedlings. My 4 flowers were born/sprouted on 4-15, the 2nd generation of 4 were born/sprouted on 5-8 (both sets of four from seed), and cloned a 3rd generation and rooted on 5-20. There was a "wild" one which I endearingly call "Chuck" just because I expect him/her to be a "him" simply because of the unknown factor... lol {So if a guy is "Chuck", would that mean a girl is "Chuck-et"? lol}

In each generation/cycle I am growing two strains at a time. 2x's AK48, 2x's Raspberry Cough.

*Quick note on the lighting; I keep all plants out in the 1kw MH lighting for the full 12 hrs of exposure time. Then I put the youngin's in the nursery for the rest of the allotted exposure time.

Looking great, bud. My Jillybean's starting to give off its delightful characteristic smell.

Awesome JTP, limme know how it tastes and your personal comparison. Got my other 3 strains in today!!! Needless to say they're all germin' already: California Orange, G13 and Purple High. Pretty good deal too from Cannabiseeds, 12*$20 with free shipping (all fem'ed of course.)

Never heard of that vendor, excited to see if they're any good. Especially compared with Nirvana (my supplier).

Agh, I wish I knew when I started flowering. I used my grow thread to keep track of my grow, but all my posts got deleted. I don't even know what month it is without checking the calendar. These are looking pretty.

And thanks to you JTP, I took your advice and made me a single plant Scog. Here's the basic concept in pics:

Nothin' fancy, just so it gets the job done. One of the cool aspects about this is that it's "easily expandable" just by throwing a larger screen top on.

Thanks for the idea, now to test this puppy out...


:shock:

Do to space limitations, that is why I'm only trying one out rather then my usual two of everything. Later if this pans out, then who knows. I do know I need a bigger room already though... lol

Now the whole story behind the "mobile scrog" was because size of grow space, but more importantly (and somewhat related), the main grow room is in flowering, so I have to move plants from one room to another every night to keep lighting cycles timed correctly. Even though veg's go into the nursery for an additional 8 hours of exposure, they're under 2x40 fluor's, where as the main room is set up with the 1kw MH. Sorry if this confused ne1 but there is a method behind the madness.... lol ;)
As for the plant I selected for this test project, I used Linda (AK48) that was part of my second gen group that was "fim'ed" last week. I figured why not grab a daughter that's predisposed to multiple bud sites for a set up test bed like this....
