Indoor Organic Meph/Rocbud new light/tent

[GinFizzLuv]

Hello everyone. I’ve been inactive for a spell. My last harvest was July, but I’ve started a new run. I am always happier when I have a grow going, so I’m excited to start a journal.

I’m also excited as I just ordered a 3x3 tent and new Mars Hydro FC-3000. This is upgrading from a 2x2 with HLG100. I had great harvests in the 2x2, but want to up my yields a bit so I have more material to play around with for bubble hash.

i sprouted in the 2x2 and am hoping new tent and light will be ready next week.

I’m currently on day 15 from sprout. They were sprouted in Buildasoil Light mix in solo cups. I transplanted on day 13.

I am growing in 3 and 5 gallon pots using Buildasoil LOS 3.0

I am following a simplified version of the Buildasoil “system”.

I plan to top dress occasionally with Buildasoil Craft Blend and Build-a-Flower compost and casting.

I will also supplement soy amino acids, freeze dried aloe, coconut water powder and the Rootwise trio of Mycrobe Complete, Enzyme Elixer and Bio-Phos.

Sprouted are:

@mephisto Super Orange Haze
@RocBudInc Iced Gushers
@RocBudInc Frozen Scoops

Day 1 from sprout

Day 5

Day 15
Top container: Rocbud Iced Gushers
Lower left container: Rocbud Frozen Scoops
Lower right container: Mephisto Super Orange Haze

The solo cup and half gallon pots are extra Super Orange Haze’s since everything sprouted. I’ll probably keep at least the half gallon around since I’m upgrading tent and light next week.

Day 17. The main 3 are growing nicely, so I decided to start LST. They bounced back in only a couple hours. None of them showing sex yet. (I don’t know why the pics are showing sideways, they are uploading correctly )

Day 23. They all showed sex in the last couple days.

They got their first top dress with buildasoil craft blend and I gave them a good drink of microbes, enzymes, aloe, and amino acids before another round of LST.

My new tent and light have arrived. I’m going to put it together and hopefully the plants will be in their final home this week. I’m trying to figure out best way to switch lights as they will be going from HLG65 to Mars FC-3000. Don’t want to shock them going up in watts too quick.

Day 26. No real sign of stretch yet. I imagine that should be starting fairly soon. Still using the HLG65 4000k at 28”. New Mars Hydro FC-3000 and 3x3 tent this weekend.

Rocbud Iced Gushers in 5 gallon, Mephisto Super Orange Haze in 1/2 gallon, Rocbud Frozen Scoops in 3 gallon, and Mephisto Super Orange Haze in 3 gallon.

Day 31 from sprout.

I Swapped out tents from the 2x2x5 to a 3x3x6 (actually 39”x39”). So glad to have upgraded. Much more room to work!! Although 3x3 is probably as big as I can get in the laundry room where I grow.

Also, installed the Mars Hydro FC-3000. My PAR meter is delayed so I’m playing it safe. I’ve got it at 25% on the dimmer and 30” from top of canopy. I’m going to slowly up the intensity and lower the light over the next week or two.

Day 33. I still have the light at 30”, but have cranked the power to 50%. Response has been good so far, still filling out nicely. I am still running 24/0 to keep heat stable. Been running 75-80F around 55-65% RH.
