For Veg. I used Flouros, early flowering because Big Bud increases overall size about 300% after switching to 12/12.
For Bloom I used 600W HPS. Standard nutes + handwatering. no extra Co2 and only 1 gallon soil pots (TEKKU ~15x15x25). Good ventilation is recommended.
The flowering time was diffe ...continued

This was my first grow. I grew 5 plants of Nirvana Big Bud and 5 plants of Sensi Early Skunk together. Over all I found the growing process to be fun and fairly easy. I think the Big Buds are a very hardy and easy to grow strain which I'm sure made things a little easier for me. 3 out of 5 plants ended up being female. The plants yielded with and efficiency of about .5g/Watt.
I trimmed all but the smallest of leaves. Some of the small leaves were just so covered with trichs I just had to leave the on. I dried the buds by hanging in a cool dark area with pretty good air circulation. I dried them for about 5 days then I started the cure process by placing them in mason jars. I gave them some air every day for a few weeks. Now a month later on some of the first harvest I have fully cured, prime bud. The smell is very pungent with a background of sweet fruitiness. On a rare occasion I'll take a hit that is a little harsh on the exhale, but no big deal. This bud is so much better than anything I've ever bought. The high is great. 3 to 5 hits off my bowl and I am totally fried. Everything just tingles. It’s such a pleasant high that stays on strong for a few hours.
Garden Information for this report Grow Room - The room is in a closet under a set of stairs. The grow space used was 3' x 4' with an average height of about 60". The ventilation used a passive intake along the floor at the rear of the grow room. The exhaust was a twin fan window fan. It was above the door to the room and exhaust into the garage. I also used a portable 9000BTU air conditioner and a 7" oscillating fan. Lighting - Initially the seedlings were kept under 160W of fluoros on an 18/6 lighting scheduled. After about a week to 10 days they were switched to 24/0. A 21 days they were put under a new light I built. It was 16 32W T8 fluoros. They were very tightly packed and gave off a great amount of light. This was used throughout the remainder of the veg cycle which was 6 weeks. I then switched the plants over to 12/12 using a 400W HPS for the primary light and two 128W T8 Light Modules to throw light on the lower branches. Grow Medium - For the seedlings I used Ferry Morse seed starter mix. It is a well balanced soil-less medium that has no added nutrients. This lets you add what ever you please. After the first transplant the plants are in a soil-less medium consisting of 3 parts ProMix to 1 part Perlite to 1 part Vermiculite. Water and Nutes - Water used was filtered well water. It always tested slightly acid. I started off using Peter's GP fertilizer 20-20-20. It worked fine, but later I decided to go organic. During veg I switched to Alaska Fish Emulsion. During flower I used Earth Juice Bloom. |
