First Indoor 600w Led Experiment

[Irietime]

Built a room 6ft tall x 2.5ft x 5ft. Lined with Mylar and vented to outdoors. Small fan drawing the fresh outside air. So far no issues with the room being to hot, hovering around 75 degrees. Got three beans sprouted, 2 strawberry Kush and 1 girls scout cookie. Gonna sprout one more gsc. Excited to see how this led is going to grow. I'll try to do a weekly update on the progress

Oh yeah, growing in fox farm ocean forest with worm castings and a bit of bat guano. I'll also use grow big and tiger bloom. Planning on brewing some worm teas along the way as well.

I want to take some cuttings when the time comes to keep the grow cycling. Still need to build a small room for the clones.

I'll document it all and post along the way.
Peace.

These were last years outdoor gsc

 

[Irietime]

This was last years outdoor white rhino. I started it way late august 1st and Got 2.5 ounces. The two gsc I started July 1st and got 6 ounces off the pair. I was pretty stoked.

 

[Irietime]

I never topped the rhino, but did some lst. Had some minor issues with the white moths landing and laying eggs on the leaves of all the plants, but I stayed on top of picking the damn caterpillars off. I did lose probably close to a half ounce between all three plants to mold do to caterpillar shit. Totally sucked. But I guess that's what you get when you grow organic and outdoors with no sprays. All in all things turned out sweet

Here's the indoor setup I put together with wood from the scrap pile and some ply wood I bought. The light is kind of a cheapo galaxyhydro 600w led hooked up on a pulley for raising and lowering according to plant stage. The room I built in was an old laundry room so I just vented in the air through the old dryer vent in the wall. It's bring in nice fresh air from outside. I also put a bit of screen on one side of the vent so no creepy crawlys can make it into the grow room. I got three babies in there now, gonna pop one more for total of four. There about a week old, still pretty tiny. I'll post some pics soon.

I think that just about gets everybody updated. Thanks peace

 

[Irietime]

One week old. Just popped in one more seed, some mystery bag seed from a friend. Said it was some dank, we'll see.

Yeah thanks! Only a week in. Plants are growing and staying compact, not stretching. So far so good. As the plants get bigger I get more and more excited. Good luck to you

If you paint it white it would reflect alot more light onto the plant than those mylar blankets.

 

[Irietime]

Oh thanks for the tip. Wish I would have done that before I put a thousand staples in the wall.

 

[Irietime]

If you paint it white it would reflect alot more light onto the plant than those mylar blankets.

Do you think it will make that much of a difference or should I let it ride?

It would make a night and day difference, your room would be twice as bright.

I'm assuming gloss white not mat? Sorry for the dumb questions. Thanks for the info.

 

[DrMcSkunkins]

Flat white is the most reflective, some brands more than others.

 

[Irietime]

Roger that. Thanks

So I was at my local nursery going to pick up another bag of ocean forest and I saw that they were selling an eb stone organic 420 mix, so naturally I was yeah I'll go with that one. Took it to the counter and the woman said she had another bag this eb stone ultimate recipe. She said it's the exact recipe as the 420 mix. I guess some nurseries had an issue with the name 420 mix and wouldn't sell it. So eb stone put the same soil in a different labeled bag. i checked out the ingredients of both bags and sure enough it was all true. Long story short got 5 bucks off the ultimate recipe. Right on

 

[Irietime]

Forgot to mention I found a fat red worm in the ultimate recipe bag, good omen. I'm also starting two more seed in this soil, so I'll have three in ocean forest and two in ultimate recipe. Little side experiment

 

[Irietime]

Here's the girls day 10. Two strawberry kush and one gsc x purple something, Im not totally sure the genetics on that one. Starting two more seeds, one more sk and gsc.

 

[Irietime]

So I've got my light at 18in above plants and there looking nice and healthy but staying super short. Should I raise the light 2-3 inches to get them to chase the light and get a little more vertical growth?

 

[Irietime]

Three bigger plants at 14 days. First one gsc other two straw kush. My mystery seed sprouted, kind of deformed leaves,looking like a propeller. See what she turns into. Then another little sk sprouted, and I'm waiting on my last sprout another gsc. That'll be my six legal.
