GGxWW

Update: split diary per plant. Light wattage is split from what is written below between 2 plants. Pictures in week 2 show the vege area for crops. The vege light is actually 240W, but the portion dedicated to the crop vege plants amounts to 160W with some additional photons coming from other portion of vege area containing donors. The bloom box is split in half with (2) 240W LED fixtures. Vege area - roughly a 2'x2' space - bit maleable. It's sized based on bloom footprint it will fill. There's also an adjacent area that's slightly deeper to fit the donor plants in same tent/box structure. I run this on a 16/8 light cycle to save electricity, and the plants still have more time than neccessary to grow to size. My strength of light is minimal needed to keep nodes spaced properly, nothing more. If i am short on time, i can alaways bump up the hours of light, as long as it remains under the maximum DLI without CO2. Bloom box - Roughly a 5'x2.5' space. Just some circulating fans inside and an exhaust setup. It is always filled -- even on harvest day, those plants get replaced immediately (a well-timed perpetual garden). I run this on a 12.5/11.5 light schedule. This is based upon my light's umol/s output as well as the area of the box. This should be near the upper limit of photons the plants can handle without CO2 per square footage that exists while making proper use of DLI chart. Everything has a cause and reason, otherwise you are likely misusing your equipment. Nutrients are grams per gallon of dry fertilizer -- that is not an option above. For nearly a year I stuck to 3.6g:2.4g:1.2g, and then tried a bit less magnesium sulfate (espom), but I run into no issues with current genetics by dialing back a bit. The molarity of feed that results from 3g, 2g, 1g remains the same throughout vegetative and bloom cycles, but I dose with pH-only water to offset evaporation -- more often earlier due to oversized pot, and rarely after 3 weeks into bloom when it is drinking like a sailor on shore leave. (molarity, not ppm matters relative to how the plant will use it -- or any living thing or any chemical reaction anywhere at all times -- molarity or moles and not grams or ppm which only tells a portion of the story by itself. You can determine molarity from ppm, by making use of a periodic chart and basic algebra) 3-gallon fabric pots with a roughly 5" layer of hydroton topped with roughly 6" of coco coir mixed with 10-20% perlite. A slightly modified hempy setup with a dripline airstone underneath the fabric pot while placed in a short 9-qt bucket about 7" tall -- maintains benefits of the fabric pot and a much larger liquid reservoir than a typical hempy with increased oxygenation. Early on the reservoir remains moist/dry until the plant is large enough to pull from it. A layer of hydroton on the outside provides the fill line. I transition from top-feeding to bottom-feeding once it is drinking heavily from reservoir. The from-seed GG4xWW is already 7 days from sprout as of today (Sunday, 5/10). The Durban poison is a fresh cutting today. The seed will require major pruning to fit 1/4th of bloom box, since it has 39 days.. Pictures are up.
