I decided to get back intro growing after a few year hiatus. Prior to that, I had grown quite a few times with various methods and had relatively good success. I definitely learned a lot throughout the first few and continue to learn things to this day. When I was growing previously I was utilizing vivosun tents and mars hydro lighting. Venting was usually either vivosun or spider farmer and clips fans etc were whatever I found that seems applicable/affordable. For this grow I changed it up a little bit still tried to stay within guidelines I used in previous grows.
Specs-
Tent: Zazzy 60x60x78in- this tent had relatively good reviews and I was confident with my ability to patch any holes so I went with it. On sale I got it for $89 from Amazon. I do have to say I prefer the quality of the Vivosun(reflecting siding is a lot smoother), but all in all seems to be a decent tent for the price.
Exhaust: Vivosun 6in 395cfm and going to install an additional booster I have if needed which is a generic brand called hon and guan says it’s 325cfm but doesn’t seem to be but should provide useful for the $19 invested in it
Light: Baylabs 720w 6 Bar ECO light. I know some say for a 5x5 to get upwards of 1000w but I’m use to growing in 2x2 and 3x3 with 100-150w. Light has good reviews and measurements are nearly identical to the specs listed.
Fans: Vivosun 6in Aero fans got a 2 pack on sale
Humidifier: Generic one I had on hand
Medium: Mixture of Fox Farms Happy Frog, Fox Farms Ocean Forest, and additional perlite approximately 30%.
Nutrients: Fox Farms Trio fed every other watering,Fox Farms cal mag fed 1x week
Water: For the humidifier I use RO water to prevent scaling, for watering I use PH adjusted tap water tested with General Hydroponics testing kit. Considering using RO for this as well as I do use cal mag and I get it for 25 cents a gallon at the store across the street. Any thoughts?
Strains:
Green Crack x3 by Samurai Squirrel Genetics
Special Queen #1
OG Kush
Special Kush #1
White Widow all by Royal Queen Seeds
Lighting schedule is 18/6 with lights off between 11am-5pm to help control heat. When it’s time for flowering I’ll be running 12/12 with lights off from 7am-7pm. Green Crack sprouted on 02/28. The others sprouted between 03/10-03/11
Been fun so far. Correcting issues as I see them arise. Intending on increasing the light intensity from 40-60% for vegetative growth over the next week or so as well.
