After my first very successful grow of two star ryders I've already started up my second grow! I took a lot of notes during my first grow and made a lot of changes to the set up in my veg/bloom tent. This grow is for sure going to be just amazing, I k! So let's see what this grow entails!
The strain I will be growing is Afghan Kush. I bought a 7 pack of seeds from World Of Seeds so I could run another grow after this one. I'll be doing 4 plants this run as opposed to the two plants I did the first time. Now lets go on to my set up for these ladies!
The seedling area consists of a maylar lined 2' x 3' closet with a humidifier, heating mat, tray to hold the rapid rooters and 2 x 20w T8's (5500k, 800 lumens each) situated 2.5" above the seedlings.
My tent for veg is set up as follows....
Growing Space
2'x4'x5' maylar lined tent w/four 6" ports
Lighting
4 x 105w cfl's (5500k, 7000 lumens)
3 x 85w cfl's (5500k, 6000 lumens)
4 x 55w cfl's (2700k, 3600 lumens)
300w (160w drawn) LED (6 band, ir, uv, 12000 lumens)
Air circulation
4" exhaust fan w/carbon scrubber
5000btu AC intake
12" oscillating fan
8" fan
When the plants bloom I'll be using the same set up with the following changes...
Lighting
8 x 55w cfl's (2700k, 3600 lumens)
3 x 65w cfl's (2700k, 4300 lumens)
4 x 26w cfl's (2700k, 1800 lumens)
300w LRD panel
Next I'll go over my hydroponic system (reservoir and irrigation)
Reservoir
25L rubbermaid tote
Oxygenation
100 gallon dual out let air pump w/two 1" x 4" air stones
8lpm dual out let air pump /two 0.5" x 4" air stones
Monitoring
Hanna Grochek continuous pH/TDS/ppm/temp meter
Cooling
25L water chiller fed by 300lph water pump
Irrigation system
A 450GPH pump sends water from the reservoir to the tent where it is split into four lines via a manifold. Four 1/4" lines take water to each 5" net basket held in a 12" x 18" x 24" tote. The lines are then coupled on to a 1/4" soaker tube which is coiled around the basket under hydroton rocks. The end of each soaker tube is connected to a valve which can add or reduce pressure. The water is returned via 200gph pump.
Finally I'll quickly list the nutrients and additives I'll be using.....
Veg
Sensi grow A & B
B 52
Voodo juice
Dutch master silica gold
Hygrozine
Golden Goddess fulvic acid
Bloom
Sensi bloom A & B
Bud Blood
Bud ignitor
Piranha juice
Tarantula
carboload
dutch master gold silica
Hammerhead
Big bud
Hygrozine
Golden Goddess fulvic acid
B 52
Bud Candy
Flush
Flawless Finish
So that's about it for my set up. Now on to the journal part.
On october 31 I placed 4 seeds into rapid rooters and placed them in a humidity dome in a dark closet. After 3 days all of the seeds had pop'd and the seedlings were moved into the seedling closet. So far they have their first set of leaves along with 2 sets of true leaves. They're pretty healthy and happy looking so far. They're on a 24/0 light cycle and get watered twice a day with tap water. I'll post pics up tomorrow :)
Hope to get some people to sub this thread! I'll be posting updates often!
