Aqua Man's first grow diary

[Moshmen]

Ac doesnt suck air out of a room. They are heat pumps. They cool the air in the room down. They dont exchange it.

Polite way to put it thanks

Just replacing my vivosun 4" inline with the couldline (would not recommend the cheap vivo inline fans) used the vivo elsewhere.

Can vouch for the cloudline, I have the 6" with the controller. Its so much quieter than other brands I've used in the past and the temp /humidity controls are super handy.

Glad to hear that

Ok this will be my first grow diary. I have a dilemma that needs to be sorted before I get started. I have a 4 site RDWC system I built from the ground up with full environmental control and co2.

I have regular seeds so by the time I can sex em if I go RDWC I may have to rip some some out. I was contemplating soil removing the RDWC system and planting more to accommodate. But after seeing growth rates in my first soil grow its discouraging. It sure is easy as hell but so much slower.

I was thinking possibly soiless to meet in the middle but thats even more work than my RDWC with purchasing everything to go that route.

Thoughts and opinions appreciated? What would people like to see and why?

Here are pics of the system when I was first building some equipment has changed so it's not the same. I will add new ones after method is decided.

Dope!!!!

Ok 5 tap roots still waiting on one but it may not pop so into the jiffy pellets they went. These are not the pellets I normally use as they are about half the size but hey I have em now so will use em.

They are in a humidity dome so I don't need to control humidity in the whole room I will be plopping a hygrometer in there once everything is up to temp and adjusting the vents as needed. Goal is about 80% humidity for the first few days.

Temp is 80f

Nice that's the way to start.... seems like GK Beans pop and are on point >>>:)

5/6 I still haven't given up on the other... May be a late bloomer.

What do use to wet the jiffy pellets just RO?

I use tap but either will work. The seeds carry enough nutrients for about a week. I have done both and found no difference.

We have 2 babies peeking out this morning. These 2 went into the pellets 2 days ago and the 3 others yesterday then I put them in the room. So I'm expecting the other 3 later today or tomorrow. The last bean is still in paper towel and will give it another day just for the sake of testing germination rates

If you use larger bucket tops with the 10” nets built in you could grow in 4”x4”rockwool cubes until you can sex them then get them into the buckets.

To late for that but yes that would definitely have been an option. My back is fucked right now so I'm doing as little as possible. And still have to put my system back together this weekend because I couldn't do it with this pain. Will have to med the fuck right up just to get it done. Not looking forward to it.

Thanks for the advice.. good to keep in the vault for another time.

 

[BigCube]

Sucks man. Sorry to hear about your back.
But the grow must go on!

 

[Aqua Man]

So good news. Our last GK genetics citrol sledgehammer bean has cracked and am putting him/her into a peat pellet now

So 100% germination rate.

I'll second that!! i have three 4 inch units on my grow and flower cabinets, and a I use a 6 in to vent the grow room air to the rest of the house. I have also replace both bathroom vents with T4's. With the controllers mounted over the tank..

 

[Aqua Man]

4 up 2 to go. One is reaching for the stars. Humidity has been steady 80-82. Pic is lower cause I was in the dome checking the moisture of pellets.

Dragons?

Lol they work great! And instead of running my seven or eight hundred watt oil-filled radiator I'm running 75 or 150 watts and actually getting better results via more steady heat

Yeah... Apparently, not only is he an outstanding cannabis grower, he's also a Targaryen!!

Also, I consider myself of above average intelligence.... Nothing like reading 5 pages on here to keep me grounded!! Lol my head is spinning from all the knowledge!
