Hi Everybody, I am just putting my grow on display as a first time Purchaser and new to the ILGM community…
I Purchased the Patriot Mix pack online and it came swiftly and with no hassles.
It was nearing the end of my outdoor grow season hear in Melbourne Australia… I had grown a great sativa ( Strain unsure of) and a bangin hybrid (also unsure of strain) I had a few complications along the way with bud rot towards the end of the hybrid and some sort of disease or nut burn… pics to follow…
Any way 4/20 was a great success during this pandemic lockdown… I have plenty of flower and had made butters, coco oil, tinctures, BHO and all the edibles I could think of using those as bases… yum!
So with the end of the out door season I decided to go Indoors with my new genetics… I purchased a tent, some ventilation equipment, some ballasts and cool tubes, already had hps bulbs from a few years ago delving into indoor/hydo/aquaponics… got fans and timers and the whole kit bells and whistles …
So I got 1 seed of each strain sour d, ak 47 , bubble gum, and goldleaf …did my normal seed soak but only the sour diesel sprung a tail and the other 3 didnt… thats ok though as I know ILGM have the germination guarantee… so at some stage I will ask for a replacement once I run out of seeds and can count and report what seeds didn’t geminate.
Stoked to have Sour Diesel in my collection now! I remember going to New York and buying some from my air bnb host and fell in love with the diesel smell and high… So when I researched seed banks that have sour d available in Australia I jumped for joy.
So I planted my seedling on April 20 , 2020 and decided to go the mainline method but my own version… its a double mainline hehehe… will show in pics… I have taken 6 clones from it and just waiting for them to root. I have never been very successful with cloning so I m trying a few different methods . Just water, just water with rooting gel, cutting soil with a rooting gel. fingers crossed they all root! will keep you all updated.
My system for Veg right now is a 400w Hps digi ballast with a cool tube and 400 w phillips hps bulb, I have a 4’ inline fan that is connected to a carbon filter extracting internal air of the tent blowing it through the cool tube and exhausted to outside of tent, I also have 4’ fan at the bottom opposite end introducing new fresh air into the tent, with a 150mm oscillating fan blowing over the top of my Beautiful SOUR DIESL. My sour diesel is in a plastic pot ( though after doing some reading and research am opting for my clones to go into a fabric pot next grow cycle) of soil that I make my own super soil, sitting on top of a 200 litre reservoir that top feeds it 2 in 24 hours and that recirculates back into the reservoir that has 2 x water pumps to circulate the water 2 x 12’ stone aerators 1 x pump for top feeding.
Let me know what you guys think!
