Hi all... I am putting together this journey to track my own grow and to hopefully receive any constructive criticism that anyone might have.... This is my first grow, but I have been doing at least 3 plus hours per day in research and reading. I also decided that when I wanted to grow I will invest the money to do it correctly. I am a valid prop 215 patient who was involved in a car wreck some years ago and medicinal marijuana has helped me out tremendously other than the fact that it is soo expensive. This is why I have decided to do my own grow to produce enough marijuana for edible consumption whic helps my daily pain out the best. With that said, lets get started:
Equipment:
1 5x5x7 grow lab tent for Veg
1 designer 4 ft 8 bulb t5
mini desk fan for venilation
1 10x10x7 Grow Lab Tent for Flower
2 600 W HPS
2 magnum xxxl hoods w/ 6 inch vents
2 lumatek 600w digital ballasts
1 12000 btu edgestar portable AC w/ heater and dehumidifier
2 oscilating fans
1 vortex 10 in fan
1 750 CFM phresh carbon filter
I made my own intake fan and filter, is in pics and will explain.
1 Hygrometer/thermometer
5 lb CO2 bottle w/ solenoid/regulator/airflow meter.
digital Ph Meter... 6 bucks off ebay! works great
submarine pump
10 small tomato cages
bamboo sticks for training
Medium:
clones in small rock wool cubes...
Planted in Fox Farm soil and put in 1 gal bags
transfered into formula 707 (soil/coco mix) put in 3 gal bags
Nutes:
Entire Van De Zwaan House and Garden line
COCO A & B
Root Excel
Multizen
Drip Clean
Bud XL
Top Booster
Shooting powder satchells
Strains:
6 Trainwreck (i turned 1 into MOM, I love TW)
4 GROMAN (GrapefruitXRomulanXShaman)
Water:
BIG RO Machine OUTSIDE GROCERY STORE FOR 1 buck per 5 Gal
PLAN:
Veg until wrecks are 2ft and flip all
veg cycle 18/6
Feed 1 time per week based on H&G feeding schedule online www.house-garden.us
I do not want to water inbetween feedings so that my ladies stay SUPER HUNGRY....
FLOWER TENT DESIGN: you will see in pics below but my intake is made from a 10 inch desk fan that I broke off the stand (Copied from GROWMASTER ) and stuffed in a 10 inch elbow... i cut a hepa heatervent filter to fit on the other end. Carbon filter setting on floor w/ 10 in vortex fan sitting on top of it pushing 6 inch ducting through the magnum xxl hoods, out the top of the tent and out side. AC is setting inside tent and ducted directly outside and set at 75 F. 1 oscilating fan is pointed at the glass on the hoods and 1 oscilates at the plants. TEMPS ARE STAYING INBETWEEN 73 and 76 and HUMIDITY IS around 35%. FLOWER ROOM IS DIALED IN.... TONS AN TONS OF NEGATIVE PRESSURE (tent basically whissles)... Glass on hoods is cool to touch.... (I just set all of this yesterday and it has been going 1 full day now on 12/12 :banana:
Where I am NOW: I VEGGED FOR 37 DAYS (how long it took to get the TW's to 2 ft) I am on day 2 of FLOWER I have been taking pictures since day 1 of setup (before the plants) and I will post all pics ... I have been through a couple bumps in the road with my plants almost all DYING.. pics will show that...QUESTIONS AND CRITICISM ARE VERY WELCOME.... PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR THOUGHTS.......
