Welcome to my grow journey fellow farmers, in this grow journal i am going to do things a little different, i have my setup to the point i am only waiting for my 400watt ac digital ballast light kit to be shipped to me, i will be reciving that by friday along with my 4'' exhaust fan..
So now for the setup description,
- starting off with a 3ft x 3ft grow tent, that comes with the flood floor incase of a flood or over flow, the light hangers, highly reflective material, and 3 different 4'' holes for exhaust and inline fans and ducting.
- Then second is one 8 plant hydroponic system, a 10 gal res. and a 6'' airstone in the 10 gal res. befour i put clones in there i plan to add 2 more airstone disks on the side, along with the drip irrigation kit, once i get this system complete, i am then going to build another 8 plant hydroponic system with all the same features, 3 airstones, 1 air pump, 8 net pots with hydroton pellets and also the drip irrigation kits for that as well. if all goes well and both system is build and complete, i am then going to get a large tubbermaid container a 20 gal res. and add another 16 plant setup in that for the grand dam total of 32 plants in all, cant wait:confused0054:
- then i bought and payd for and am still waiting package to be sent to me which will be at the very latest friday april 1st. This light kit includes a 400 watt digital ballast, with a aircooled tube reflector, along with the mh bulb and hps bulb, yoys to hang the light, the sockets to screw in the bulbs, lots of cord so i dont have to be right ontop of the plug, and lastly a heavey duty timer.
-also a 4inch vortex exhaust fan blower, with a 4'' to 6'' reducer, then 6'' exhaust ducting, and 4'' flex ducting
- And lasltly for the ventilation purposes. i got a inline duct fan booster to put on the bottom left of the room with 4'' ducting running through my roof right to the outside so i can get fresh air to my babies, the exhaust fan will run right beside it, leading to outdoors, but going through a carbon filter for order purposes so i wont be circulating bad air around the grow room
- and for the very last equipment for the grow room is the meters to check to make sure the enviroment is in perfect condition, i got a lcd thermo, hygro, humity, and temp meter, along with a digital ph meter and ph up and ph down, and a digital soil ph meter, rockwool cubes, jiffy cubes, per-lite, peat moss, coc fibers, and forfarm seed starter soil.
- One i have all this equipment setup and ready to go which will be by friday, i am going to buy 10 seeds in all, and atleast some of the seeds being, the church, white widow, pineapple express, jack hairer, bubblegum, bluebarry, afgan #1, and a few more in which i want some excotic kind of seeds that will get a really nice meds for pain, and with a thc level begin high..
- With that all bought and setup, then comes the nutes, i plan to go with advanced nutrients, grow, micro, and bloom, with b52, voodoo juice, big bud, and super thrive and to finnish it off flush for the last 2 weeks, and lastly to add to the babies, i read in a hightimes mag, and tryed it last season by adding surger to the plants the last 6 or 7 days of its life, it will make the buds more dense and full of resin. i did do a test of this last year and it was unbeliveable how they came out and how much bigger and resin the white widow was compared to the other white widow that only had the nutes and soil..
so thats my setup, and my plan, if anyone has any advice or any questions or even any advice on how i can improve my room, i know there are no photos yet, but i dont want to upload any untill my setup is complete with the exhaust and the light system that i will recivie on friday.. once again thank you for taking the time to read my grow journay, i will keep updateing this thread, but my next update wont be untill friday when i recive all my gear and get these babies under some light in a brand new tent with new ventilated, lighted, 2x fan, and all my meters, keep in mind folks that this is my first inside grow, i am a outdoor grower, i usually have troubles by planting the seed and getting no result, clones are my bestfriend, but right now im plantless, so i have to start from seed.
if anyone can help me out with the planting of the seed, that would be the best thing in the world. i have no problem germinating the seed, i put 4 peices of mosit paper towels at this point soaked in luke warm water, put the seeds on soaked paper towels and labell them, then cover them with 4 more peices of soaked paper towels, and i let the excess water run off, nd put them on a heat mat for the effect of being on top of a fridge, and them put in a rubbermaid container with 2 big towles over it to make the effect its in a dresser where its nice and dark, with this simple methoad i can germinate the seeds no problem, i usually let them go for about 5 to 6 days till their 1 inch high.. then usually i plant them an inch down in the soil and had no luck, a buddie of mine who grows all year all dayy all night with unbeliveable results said to put the germinated seed with the shell about the soil a tiny tiny bit and the root tip down in the soil, and it till reach for the light and the shell falls off and starts with the 2 little leaves.. if anyone can confirm this that would be awesome, i really need sucess with these seeds im buying. thank you:rollj::)
