Grow Getter (Elev8 Seeds Test)

Indoor Growing
1

Greetings Overgrow,

First & foremost, I’d like to request lenience from the Court as this is my first forum, first grow diary & first time as @RasGandharva. As best I can, I will attempt to weave my simple thread into the tapestry of this network in the hopes that it will support a healthy communal experience.

As a bit of a perfectionist / idealist, I like the idea of “The Best” & I am continually seeking for greater quality. In my search for improvement, I’ve tried sifting through the web looking for “The Best” cannabis genetics I could find. As a layman it’s a daunting task to say the least. Just to clarify, I understand “The Best” is conceptual & a relative term still I feel that in seeking “The Best” I become better which is good. :wink:

So I ended up choosing Elev8 Seeds in my search to elevate my game (punny marketing). I will be attempting two runs of their “gear” I guess you’d say. Three plants of each strain, 9 plants per tent. I’m looking for a few lovely ladies to play with for a while.

3x - Cake & Ice Cream (Wedding Cake x Gelato)
3x - Sunday Punch (Sunday Driver x Purple Punch)

3x - Runtz (Gelato x Zkittles)
3x - Runtz of Eden (Runtz x Forbidden Fruit)

Containers: 9x - #5 (5 Gallon) Fabric Smart Pots

Planting Medium: Homade Mix (One Batch = One #5 Fabric Pot)

10 L - Promix HP
03 L - Worm Castings
02 L - Top Soil / Black Earth
01 L - Manure (Cow / Sheep / Seafood)
02 L - Coarse Perlite
50 ml - UCANN Herb Thrive
90 ml - Pulverised Lime

Light: Optic LED - Optic 650S

Exhaust Fan: Vortex S Line 6 inch + Dial-A-Temp Solid State Fan Controller

Filter: Can-Lite Filter Mini 6″ x 16″ 420 CFM

Fans: 2x - Secret Jardin Monkey Fan 16W

Environmental Monitoring: Lacrosse Wireless Weather Station

Environmental Control: Old Air Conditioner with dehumidifier & fan + Small Humidifier (for clones & drying)

Fertiliser: Botanicare & UCANN

Botanicare - Pure Blend Pro (Grow & Bloom 4 Soil)
UCAAN Organics - Herb Thrive & Abundant Bloom

Extras: Wholesome Organic Molasses, Enzymes Komplete, Nemaknights

Instruments: Nutri+ pH & TDS

Water: Municipal (Near 125 ppm & 7.0 pH)

Training: Topping, LST, Tie Down, ScrOG or SOG, Selective Defoliation, Thinning, Leaf Tucking

… Alrighty Then! :sweat:

:seedling: So here are the Huckleberry Punch, Cake & Ice Cream & Sunday Punch. This is at the end of veg @ 15 weeks old. 10 weeks under HO T5 & 5 weeks under Optic 650s @ approximately 65% power or 400 watts.
