2 x Strawberry Pie Auto > Fast Buds Company
1 x Gorilla Cookies Auto Seed Stockers (2015)
2 x Auto White Widow x Big Bud > Female Seeds
setup:
18 x gronest 2 liter
60 cm x 120 cm x 180 cm (2 x 4) growtent
4 l humidifier
25 watt axial fan
15 watt clip fan
ro-filter
bath room with a 50 watts room fan (-> carbon filter not necessary)
...and a lot of odds and ends.
grow strategy:
max yield by stressing with:
1. tiny shoes (2 l fabric pots standing on 3 plastic rings (4 cm) for max oxygen)
2. tiny growspace (18plants on 0.72 sqm)
3. many strains (8 strains)
4. annoying neighbourhood (mixing old - i.e. bubblegum (late 80's) - with young- i.e. hazeberry (2018) - genetics)
5. no stress by light or food or water
6. unintentionally too much food
plus:
- no lst - no hst - just leaf tucking
- positioning bigger strains (euphoria, orange bud, haze berry) or just bigger phenos on less intense light spots (end of tent + edges)
- music-rotation: 24 hrs reggae (for sativas) - 24 hrs classicals (because it's scientifically proofed) - 24 hrs traditionals from the hindukush region (for the indicas)
max efficiency (min electricity - max yield):
- light: 23 h on - 1 h off
- keeping the distance of 18" (45 cm) and dimming to the right par (lux) - value depending on growing stages (see sheet: beginning 185 par ( 10000 lux/100 watt )/end 340 par ( 18000 lux/175 watt )) => ends up in approx. 170 watts in average over max 15 weeks
temperatur management:
- using approx. max. half of what the lamp can do keeps temperature low:
my tsl 2000 is pulling max. 360 watts of the wall - i need only 175 watts, results in less temperature than using a 175 watts lamp
- adjusting the temperature by using a humidifier outside of tent:
blown in humidity is soaking degrees and is transported out by fan, works much better than doing the same with pure air
summer extreme: no humidifier: 36°C / 35 rh - with humidifier: 29°C / 65 rh
works for 1-2 weeks of real hot summer days, no mould, no signs of stress in two summers
germination:
seeding in waterglass
spraying "basic"-water: ro-water (22 ppm) + calmag to 180 ppm every 4 - 8 hours until sprouted
man versus fungus gnat:
5 days before seeding i'm running the tent with "basic"-watered pots as if there were plants inside - led on, fans on, humidifier on. Fungus gnats coming with the soil might take the chance to come out now for breeding. i'm waiting with a 9 mm rifle. in the past i found 6 gnats in 2 of 8 x 50 l biobizz lightmix bags coming out of the soil. i could eliminate every single gnat successfully ;)
rotating harvest:
the little ones will be harvested completely when ready. at this point only the top branches of the big ones will be cut...and the new (basic-watered) pots of the new grow will move into the tent. 2-3 weeks later the secod half of the big ones will be cut and the second half of the new grow will move in...
nutes:
biobizz / soil: biobizz lightmix
bloom,grow,topmax,activera,algamic
+ aminopower instead of bio heaven (too expensive)
individual feeding schedule/once a week:
veg: 200 - 600 ppm
bloom: 600 - 900 ppm
water:
ro-water with:
veg: 100-150 ppm calmag

2 x Strawberry Pie Auto > Fast Buds Company
1 x Gorilla Cookies Auto Seed Stockers (2015)
2 x Auto White Widow x Big Bud > Female Seeds
setup:
18 x gronest 2 liter
60 cm x 120 cm x 180 cm (2 x 4) growtent
4 l humidifier
25 watt axial fan
15 watt clip fan
ro-filter
bath room with a 50 watts room fan (-> carbon filter not necessary)
...and a lot of odds and ends.
grow strategy:
max yield by stressing with:
1. tiny shoes (2 l fabric pots standing on 3 plastic rings (4 cm) for max oxygen)
2. tiny growspace (18plants on 0.72 sqm)
3. many strains (8 strains)
4. annoying neighbourhood (mixing old - i.e. bubblegum (late 80's) - with young- i.e. hazeberry (2018) - genetics)
5. no stress by light or food or water
6. unintentionally too much food
plus:
- no lst - no hst - just leaf tucking
- positioning bigger strains (euphoria, orange bud, haze berry) or just bigger phenos on less intense light spots (end of tent + edges)
- music-rotation: 24 hrs reggae (for sativas) - 24 hrs classicals (because it's scientifically proofed) - 24 hrs traditionals from the hindukush region (for the indicas)
max efficiency (min electricity - max yield):
- light: 23 h on - 1 h off
- keeping the distance of 18" (45 cm) and dimming to the right par (lux) - value depending on growing stages (see sheet: beginning 185 par ( 10000 lux/100 watt )/end 340 par ( 18000 lux/175 watt )) => ends up in approx. 170 watts in average over max 15 weeks
temperatur management:
- using approx. max. half of what the lamp can do keeps temperature low:
my tsl 2000 is pulling max. 360 watts of the wall - i need only 175 watts, results in less temperature than using a 175 watts lamp
- adjusting the temperature by using a humidifier outside of tent:
blown in humidity is soaking degrees and is transported out by fan, works much better than doing the same with pure air
summer extreme: no humidifier: 36°C / 35 rh - with humidifier: 29°C / 65 rh
works for 1-2 weeks of real hot summer days, no mould, no signs of stress in two summers
germination:
seeding in waterglass
spraying "basic"-water: ro-water (22 ppm) + calmag to 180 ppm every 4 - 8 hours until sprouted
man versus fungus gnat:
5 days before seeding i'm running the tent with "basic"-watered pots as if there were plants inside - led on, fans on, humidifier on. Fungus gnats coming with the soil might take the chance to come out now for breeding. i'm waiting with a 9 mm rifle. in the past i found 6 gnats in 2 of 8 x 50 l biobizz lightmix bags coming out of the soil. i could eliminate every single gnat successfully ;)
rotating harvest:
the little ones will be harvested completely when ready. at this point only the top branches of the big ones will be cut...and the new (basic-watered) pots of the new grow will move into the tent. 2-3 weeks later the secod half of the big ones will be cut and the second half of the new grow will move in...
nutes:
biobizz / soil: biobizz lightmix
bloom,grow,topmax,activera,algamic
+ aminopower instead of bio heaven (too expensive)
individual feeding schedule/once a week:
veg: 200 - 600 ppm

eu3 has been trashed, is a hermie
spotted and liquidated 2 fungus gnats

15 watt clip fan
ro-filter
bath room with a 50 watts room fan (-> carbon filter not necessary)
...and a lot of odds and ends.
grow strategy:
max yield by stressing with:
1. tiny shoes (2 l fabric pots standing on 3 plastic rings (4 cm) for max oxygen)
2. tiny growspace (18plants on 0.72 sqm)
3. many strains (8 strains)
4. annoying neighbourhood (mixing old - i.e. bubblegum (late 80's) - with young- i.e. hazeberry (2018) - genetics)
5. no stress by light or food or water
6. unintentionally too much food
plus:
- no lst - no hst - just leaf tucking
- positioning bigger strains (euphoria, orange bud, haze berry) or just bigger phenos on less intense light spots (end of tent + edges)
- music-rotation: 24 hrs reggae (for sativas) - 24 hrs classicals (because it's scientifically proofed) - 24 hrs traditionals from the hindukush region (for the indicas)
max efficiency (min electricity - max yield):
- light: 23 h on - 1 h off
- keeping the distance of 18" (45 cm) and dimming to the right par (lux) - value depending on growing stages (see sheet: beginning 185 par ( 10000 lux/100 watt )/end 340 par ( 18000 lux/175 watt )) => ends up in approx. 170 watts in average over max 15 weeks
temperatur management:
- using approx. max. half of what the lamp can do keeps temperature low:
my tsl 2000 is pulling max. 360 watts of the wall - i need only 175 watts, results in less temperature than using a 175 watts lamp
- adjusting the temperature by using a humidifier outside of tent:
blown in humidity is soaking degrees and is transported out by fan, works much better than doing the same with pure air
summer extreme: no humidifier: 36°C / 35 rh - with humidifier: 29°C / 65 rh
works for 1-2 weeks of real hot summer days, no mould, no signs of stress in two summers
germination:
seeding in waterglass
spraying "basic"-water: ro-water (22 ppm) + calmag to 180 ppm every 4 - 8 hours until sprouted
man versus fungus gnat:
5 days before seeding i'm running the tent with "basic"-watered pots as if there were plants inside - led on, fans on, humidifier on. Fungus gnats coming with the soil might take the chance to come out now for breeding. i'm waiting with a 9 mm rifle. in the past i found 6 gnats in 2 of 8 x 50 l biobizz lightmix bags coming out of the soil. i could eliminate every single gnat successfully ;)
rotating harvest:
the little ones will be harvested completely when ready. at this point only the top branches of the big ones will be cut...and the new (basic-watered) pots of the new grow will move into the tent. 2-3 weeks later the secod half of the big ones will be cut and the second half of the new grow will move in...
