I am so excited to get back to growing! Due to the legal status here, my grow is indoors. My flower room is a 4x4 grow tent, outfitted with a 6" carbon filter that exhausts into our attic. Currently, I am running a 600w HPS, with a phantom digital ballast and a hortilux bulb. This summer, my husband and I plan to build a few LED fixtures. We are currently going back and forth between some of the new COBs and Quantum Boards....so expect new lighting late this summer.
This grow began with a total of 27 very old (poorly stored) seeds. Six of them popped. One seedling withered shortly after sprouting, another was "picked" as a seedling by my two year old. The remaining 4 survivors (3 Med Man, 1 CM) have been mainlined and had their lower growth cleaned out. I would prefer to allow the plants to get a bit bigger before going to flower, but the local supply is expensive and poor quality. So I need to get some home grown herb finished ASAP.
I know mainlining takes longer to veg, but with a perpetual set up, veg time is hardly ever an issue and it helps with trimming. I have essential tremor disorder, so this technique has been immensely helpful for me in the past. Monday, I switched to 12/12 for flower.
