Finally after about three months of setting up my grow room, researching grow teks, cannabis growing info and everything else, I'm taking the plunge. I've also read the medicinal cannabis growing bible to help me gain some insight too.
So first things first let's go over my grow room and equipment……
Germination Area (Closet 2'x4'x8')
Humidifier (22"x18"x12" tupperware)
Analogue thermometer/hygrometer
240w 450nm blue/10k white LED on timer w/18/6 schedule, 2m above humidifier
12" oscillating fan
Heating mat
Growing Room
Tent
Heavy Duty Mylar lined (2'x4'x6') tent w/four 6" ports
Hydroponics
Two 5 gallon buckets w/6” net baskets, 6” drip rings connected to 70GPH pumps, w/2 x 2”x4” air stone
Hydrotron pebble grow media
Rock wool starter cubes
Oxygen Supply System
Two outlet 8LPH air pump
Two 7LPH air pump
Four 2”x4” air stones
Lighting
300w 6-band/ir/uv/12k white LED
240w 450nm blue/10k white LED
150w 670nm red LED
Venting
4” inline exhaust fan pulling air from grow tent thru 5' ducting
Exhaust air leads to carbon filter thru 2.5' ducting
6” clip on intake fan
12” oscillating fan
Cooling
Two 25L capacity water chillers connected to 88GPH water pumps
5000BTU air conditioner pumping cold air into growing room and hot exhaust out grow room window
Electrical
Two dual outlet hydrafarm analogue timers w/15 min increments
8 outlet surge protected power bar w/4 outlets timed on 30 min increment analogue timer
7 outlet surge protected power bar
heavy duty extension cord
Variable Monitoring
Analogue thermometer/hygrometer
Digital thermometer/hygrometer
IR thermometer
0.0-14.0 pH meter w/temperature correction & 3 point dip and click calibration
0.0-14.0 pH meter w/screw calibration
0-9999ppm TDS meter w/temperature correction
60ml nutrient syringe w/1ml increments
1ml hypodermic syringe w/.02ml increments
Chemicals/Nutrients
AN grow/bloom/micro nutrients
Hygrozine root formula
Insecticide
Fungicide
Two ona puks
4.01 pH/7.0 pH/10.01 pH buffering calibration solution
1000ppm TDS calibration solution
pH up/down
Okay now that that is out of the way onto the fun part…… the grow!!!!!
I'll be growing two auto plants. One Cream Of The Crop Amphetamine and one Critical AK.
Day One (Seeding Day)
I pH treated two 1.5" starter rock wool cubes at pH5.8 for 1.5 hours. After that I poked a 1/4" hole in each of them and placed each seed pointed side up in the hole. The cube was pinch closed and 4 tooth picks were put in the cube to first hold it closed, but second to make a cross to hold it above a mason jar (1/4 pint). This is so the tap root won't get soggy in the humidifier.
The cubes were put in humidifier and the walls and top and bottom of humidifier were sprayed with pH 5.9 water to bump up the humidity in the tupperware to 80%. The temperature is 78*F
Day Two
No growth yet. The humidity fell to 68% over night because I accidentally forgot to switch the timer on, on the lights (dammit). So anyways hopefully just a little hiccup, I poked the cubes and they were still damp so everything should be a okay. Humidifier was sprayed with pH water and within 1.5 hours humidity was at 82%. Temp moves between 78*F and 81*F daily.
More to come in the next week!
