This diary will be a bit all over the place and will be heavily edited after I dump all the info I want in here. I'm currently on my fifth grow. Started off with single dwc buckets before getting serious by combining it into a system. I've only grown in hydro and don't know any other way. My current goal is to harvest the current room I grow in every five weeks. I've always been focused on yield as the strains I'm growing are good enough in Green Gelato and Bruce Banger. Also I've only been growing for less than a year and I'm still going through trial and error along with continuous upgrading so looking into strains is a bit too much.
The system is a 6 pot, 375 gallon recirculating deep water culture. It is water cooled at 18c with a 1/2hp chiller and a 3000L/hr pump. Six air stones with a 82L/min air pump. The 8 Gelato's are under 1200 watts 3k with 660nm while the 16 Banner's are under 2600 watts 3.5k. room temps sit between 20c - 24c and humidity between 50-60.
In regards to nutrients I use Green planet Micro for nitrogen and the macro nutrients. For PK I use monoammonium phosphate, monopotassium phosphate, potassium sulphate and I factor in the PK from my pH down which is phosphoric acid and the K from potassium silicate. I use calcium nitrate and magnesium sulphate for my cal/mag.
Non essential additives is what I've studied up on and use the most. These include silica, kelp extracts, humic/fulvic acid, amino acids, yucca extract, b vitamins, Chitosan and triacotanol.
Here's my grow room as of today. It's on day 25 of flower.
