Welcome to my new journal!
I hope to be around for a long time, this time around...
New house, unfinished basement with a corner as my grow room. It has taken a while to organize and acquire everything and build the room but it is finally done!
It's legal to grow 4 plants per household in Canada now, so why not grow my own meds?
At least I will know exactly what goes into them and have a good supply of amazing herb!
For now, this will be the only post till I can actually germinate some seeds...
Medical appointments and surgery take priority unfortunately, so the grow will only start around April 6th or so.
Just excited to start growing again!!
What's a post without pics?? Pretty boring I know, so lets get on with the show!
But before that, since I have no pic of the beans...
I will be growing:
Grape Walker Kush
Sour Livers
3 Bears OG
Northern Cheese Haze
All Mephisto Genetics, a first for me and stoked to fill some jars!!
As per usual, there was only a basic plan, have a +- 4X4 room with some storage area for supplies.
Here is a half way done shot, the internal door was a neat idea I came up with as a quick save!
It will make sense later and actually turned out really cool!
And after some additional elbow grease, I managed to do this!
Here is a better pic of what the internal door is all about.
When closed, it forms a slightly larger than 4X4 area. Perfect for my legal 4 plants!
It seals the 4X4 perfectly while still allowing good air circulation. Speaking of which, i forgot to pick up a small fan at the grow store this afternoon...
You can also see the in-line fan and carbon filter. They exhaust out of a sealed window here:
And the money shot! The grow area with Quantum Board, fully foil lined and super bright!
This is the light I went with, from MeiJu Lighting.
And a few pics of the boards themselves
All the chips are perfectly lined up on all 4 boards! Amazing QC!!
And the massively heavy driver!
And a light spectrum chart
I will be using Step-Well soil products for growing this time.
https://stepwellsoil.com/
They deliver all over Canada and very well priced IMO.
It's a living soil setup with beneficial microbes that require a compost tea feeding every now and then. Apparently no extra additives are required, we will see about that though.
I do have the Flora line just in case as well as Cal/Mag etc...
I think that is all for now.
The next week and a half will be spent programming the light timer, cleaning the grow room and sterilizing it and adding some shelves for storage.
Also planning on using distilled water this time and possibly buying an R.O system.
Home tap water is pH 7.0 and considering I do not like it, I will not make my plants drink it! LOL!
Light schedule will most likely be 20/4 for this Mephisto Auto grow.
Very excited to be growing my own meds again!
