So i thought id start a thread documenting my First Grow which iv been working on lately. So Basicallya 3x3x6.5 wood/PolyPanda tent. And next to my 3x3 veg cab.

So for my cab and Tent.. The veg cab is a basic 4" Axial for Exhaust and a passive intake. With two 30 watt CFL.

And the flower tent is under a 600w HPS in a Silverstar Aircooled hood. Right now to start, as i started from seed, my flower tent, is acting as my Veg. under a 400 watt MH

Flower tent is Exhausted by a 6" inline CanFan, and filtered though a Can33 Carbon Filter. I have the fan on speed control for simple noise reduction at times necessary. Passive intake of two 6' 90 Degree Ducting installed into the Black side of the cab that sees 0 Light.

I am running the light off of a Lumatek Digital 400/600w 120/240v Ballast. Now i have heard nightmares about these things.. after i ordered it about troubles with interference with neighbours Tv's cellphones. I have had nothing so far. I have spoken to the people downstairs apon running into them randomly, reporting i myself had some tv issues, they reported no such thing. sad everything was fine.
http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=174&pictureid=1955
I have two digital Thermometer/hygrometers going, with a probe in each cab. But with no plants in the veg cab only temperature is important right now, and it seems to be running steady for each. The lights remain cool to the touch with the Axial fan in the Veg.
http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=174&pictureid=1956

I guess now onto the important stuff... So iv got a few different strains going... all started from seed... All generously donated Accept for the Watermelon x Nuken coming from the Vancouver Seed Bank, from Cash Crop Ken. *May have misspelled*

the AG- Is a donated batch of Feminized seeds from a friend at Vancouver Seed Bank who refused to tell me the name. So i named it after her, Ashleys Gift. The A.G

So here they are, with dates of planting. and Numbers planted

To Start i have a few Casey Jones crosses, and Some Casey jones F2 ill show you first.
SourCreekxCaseyJones 09/03 - 1 planted

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=174&pictureid=1962
Last but hopefully Not Least.
The WatermelonxNuken.. The 1 selection i chose myself to add to the Garden lol Funny as that sounds. But Generous Friends = Plentiful garden.
http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=174&pictureid=1966

So i realize i have alot going.. lol for such a small space. But as i mentioned i Hope to get a monthly perpetual crop going out of this, and by giving myself options, i can narrow in on what i want to keep around.

So, Thanks for Lookin, Let me know what you think. And as usual, Puff On FMB.

And please.. take it easy on me for the Cardboard veg cab ;) i know its Ghetto haha.

PEACE

Glad to hear.. i was hoping it would be the strain that watermelon FMCD you had towards the end of winter came from. I hear Nuken is pretty killer as well.

Thanks guys! Ill be sure to keep it updated!

Just thought id add this.. Every day i wake up and just love to see the health, and growth coming in on these babys.
Heres the Lady G1xCj this morning, perfectly symetrical.
http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=174&pictureid=1970

Also i wanted to add the one strain i forgot last time, i tend to forget about this little lady because she had a struggle early inlike, Just wasnt strong enough to makes its own way out of the Seed shell once it had popped, so i removed the seed shell with tweezers and a ewek later or so this is what the little wierdo looks like. Round leaves, and one little catyldone.

Soo, little update.. I have been getting (ofcourse) Mixed reviews when i have been asking about transplanting my lady's put in soil on the 31st. Been told yes do it, no dont do it, so anyways, i took it apon myself to make the decision haha an i moved em over to pots about a gallon. Square 2.6L. I mixed a soil mix of 60-20-20 Promix HP-EWC-Perlite, same as i sporouted in, So started with 5 gallons promix, 1.6 gals EWC and 1.6 gals perlite. then i added 2 tbsp of veg guano and 1.5 tbsp flowering guano.. Then transplanted and watered heavily with a Vitamin B Solution.

Sweet dude. I know I told you to let them go a little longer in previous containers, but they will be fine as you transplanted them now. :D I often transplant earlier, or later depending on my own personal schedule so I apologize if I gave you any sort of confusion.

They will explode and be twice that size or more in a week. :D

So it 5 days since my last update. Almost everything has been moved to bigger pots in fertilized soil. And the Plants that lst week had been moved, have now been fed for a first time with liquid fish extract, and liquid kelp. At a somewhat diluted solution.They have Loved it so far, here is a shot of a couple of the ladies that have been fed once now.
http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=174&pictureid=1980
http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=174&pictureid=1981

So i mentinoed that i had that little blue sonja, that i needed to help out of the shell and was developing Round catyldones. Well its starting to pick up, although even the first set of 3 leave leaves lol has a little odd growth shape. I think that was from the lack of light wen it was trapped in the shell. The new developing five leaves a re gnarley shaped, but developing healthy.
http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=174&pictureid=1979
And finally for today, this is one of the A.G. The gifted strain from a friend kept a secret. They had been developing nicely, then al developed odd dropping leaves and a bit stunted growth. I figured maybe at some point i had unknowingly overwatered at one point by accident, so iv let it dry out completely, fand have been watering it lightly since.
Still a bit droopy.. any ideas lemme know. It not dying..
http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=174&pictureid=1977
Anyways.. stuffs goin good so far. The a.g that has been transplanted is going nicely, i didnt get a picture of it specifically, but its growing beautifuly.

Enjoy guys,
Keep on Puffin!

So over the last two days i have been contemplating my next step. The plants were in my opinion again outgrowing the pots. But i was hesitant to transplant because i didnt think that i had enough space. So, in the end. All my Slow little guys which were in the small Veg only cab still, were now doomed haha. i was going to murder them, so i chose the two healthiest, put em in the bigger, now acting veg cab, soon to be perminant Flower cab. So i now am down to 17 plants. 25 seeds popped, 25 seedlings sprouted. Killed the slow 8.
So i then Got to it.
http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=174&pictureid=1993
I started with the biggest plants first. And was moving them from 2.6 Litre pots, to 2 Gallon. Already from the first plant, They look much more fitting in there new pots. And the roots definitely were starting to look for some room.
http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=174&pictureid=1994
So..
I transplanted into 2 gals, with Again my same base of 60-20-20 Promix HP-EWC-Perlite. Starting qith 5 gal's of the 602020 i added 2 tbsp Flower Guano, and 4.5 tbsp Veg Guano. Transplanting with a Generous, but not overly generous amount of Vitamin B1 enriched Airated water.
And i am happy with how they looks now :D
http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=174&pictureid=1995

So They Should be happy and continue to grow beautifully like they have been, i am going to start to dial in my feeding schedule a little more once i get a bit more advice.

On October 3rd or 4th i will have a stab at taking my first cuts from each of them! and potentially flip them into 12/12 to determine sex. Or i may wait until i see roots on my clones. So thats the next step, then i will see how many Fems iv got.
http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=174&pictureid=1999

Stay Tuned. Peace out Stoners.

Oh yeah and i still have the other two plants in my veg cab un-transplanted from the 2.6L. The two Atomic Haze, they are going a bit slower then the others. Next update ill unclude them.

Alright so. Last thing i showed you guys pics i put up the cloner i made. Well since iv cut clones, 30 total 2 from each. And again i made a WAY better new veg cab. Sharing venting with the flower cab as an intake with two silent pc helping push air throgh the ducting.

So a reminder of the strains im running:
Casey Jones F2
PBSD4xCaseyJones
SourCreekxCaseyJones
LadyG1xCaseyJones
A.G Ashley's Gift (gifted strain from a friend ashley lol)
Watermelon Nuken

Right now the tent is Extremely Packed.. Everything is in its second day of Flower and i am watching for sex over the next week or so to pull the males and clear up some room. only the A.G were feminized. Because they were all popped from seed. And i have a new veg cab for the clones, and the two plants i kept in veg. Two Atomic Hazes. NL5xCambodianSativaxSSH

So here is The tent yesterday on day 1 under the HPS.

http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=174&pictureid=2016
Today i can even see through the canopy.

And I have taken the bubble cloner out of my new veg cab, tossed the dead cuts that were in it.. imo so far the thing sucked balls. Anyways here is the new veg cab today!
http://www.fullmeltbubble.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=174&pictureid=2021
and the two plants i kept in veg. One i know for sure is an Atomic Haze. NL5xCambodianSativaxSSH^ The other one i kinda losttrack of. They will veg another month.
So its on day three since clone cutting and i hoping in another three to four ill see roots on most of them! and possibly see some sexing signs on some of the plants.

Thanks for checkin in guys!
