Dr. Grinspoon by TOTEM

Welcome back everybody! This project will be a very fun one, because me and my bro @Magnetous_tryko have decided to start it together, on the same day. Techniques will be different, so I hope you won’t miss his future diary. This time, btw, I’ll create something pretty cool, which is like an upgrade of what I did with my Silver Haze. What I’m thinking about: - Mainlining - ScrOG - Soil + organic nutrients - A big 20L Airpot - More veg time before the switch, in order to get a little longer colas at the end The reason why I’m not trying the strain before scrogging is simple: I’d spend almost a year on a strain only, when there are many other valuable strains available on the market I’d like to try. Plus, I got only one grow box!!! As I wrote on my Silver Haze’s review, I’ll not be using Advanced Nutrients anymore because they don’t allow you properly manage EC/PPM and because this time I’ll go full organics. I’m switching back to my old and loyal brand, Biomagno!!! 100% organic and very high quality. I’ll be using Canna Bio Terra Plus (which is basically a pre-fertilized soil, rich of organic and all natural elements inside that are released slowly over time) <thank you @Magnetous_tryko for the suggestion!>. This medium is so cool because of its “idiot proof”, as they call it: if you add much nutrients, this medium will release less of its own ferts, while if you do the opposite, it will feed the plant with more of its owns. I’m thrilled (like Tim Cook at Keynotes) to the idea of trying this “function”, though I’ll be always giving the lower dosage from the feed chart. No overfert allowed this time! Growing schedule: 1. Mainlining, in order to create (at least) 8 colas 2. ScrOG grid placement 3. 60/70% of covered grid before switching to 12/12 (50% with my Silver Haze was too early in my opinion) 4. Heavy bending (I feel bad already for this phase) All the other settings: - Same usual LED panel, which is the Sonlight Hyperled Apollo Plus 8 (384W). 70cm from the plant in veg, gradually reduced to 40cm in bloom - The grow box is 1x1x2m - 2 Secret Jardin Monkey Fans (one is broken and doesn’t rotate anymore, the other one doesn’t rotate at all LOL) - I’ll place carbon filter as soon as flowering starts - The lower grid I’ll place will be used to allow run-off water to fall into the tank located just below. And to support heat lamps I’ll place as soon as winter comes (this will be a real problem to manage, because they usually create A LOT of heat, which can be harmful to roots and bacteria inside the pot) I think I’m done here, so see you next week. LET’S GO!!!! Day 3: Sprout! 3.5 days later. Yay. I immediately switched on the lights and put the panel 70cm above the seedling. I was thinking about starting with blue spectrum only, but since I want some space between internodes, I'll go with full spectrum since the very start.
