This is my second attempt, first was dwc and g13 labs pineapple express but the had to be scrapped...any way this grow is a closet grow using a bare min budget and equipment...
strains are: g13 labs auto ak (3)
g13 labs diesel auto (1)
samsara seeds auto ultraviolet (1)
soil: local store bought dirt seems to be a mix of local dirt, perlite. and wood chips and who knows what else...(about $2 a bag (5lbs)
lights: all cfl 1x 105w (5000k), 2x 68w (27k), 1x 42w (27k), 2x32w (65k),
1x 28w (27k)...for a total of 375w of mixed spectrum
tds ez meter (ppm)
milwaukee ph meter
nutes: veg; greenlight all purpose 20 20 20 plant food.
flower; growmore sea grow 4 26 26.
containers: 5 g smart pots (3) half way full
2 small containers
these ladies have had almost all types of issues but they are still alive, first i could not get the ph right for about a two weeks ph was above 7 now stable at 6.3 6.5, and over watered in the first weeks which also added to my already stunted ladies, then i had some white flies which i cured with two treatments of soapy water 3 days apart and finally have been dealing with heat issues up to this point to deal with this i tied to raise the lights which caused most of the ladies to stretch lowered the lights back down and added bottles of frozen water to bring the temps down in the closet during the day this seems to have solved that but again added to my ladies being stunted...
Any way the ladies are now in week 7 (45 days) i would guess about 4 weeks to go as the breeders put these strains at about 70 to 80 days.
and this is what i have to show for my efforts;
