Hi,
New to growing, this is first attempt have a couple of automatic seeds and was wondering if theres a basic guide anywhere to follow for the grow? I have searched and read up as much as I can find on this forum.
I have plenty of room indoors.
a full spectrum LED 600W and a sunmaster HPS with dimmer.
Hygrometer
Bluelab Nutrient meter.
will get a moisture meter for watering
Anything else I should get?
Which nutrients should I feed with?
I have some Ionic grow and hardwater grow but I plan to use Rainwater as much as possible.
I plan to use wet paper towel in bag method for two days or until I see a few mm root.
then transport to rockwool (should I soak these first?)
Then I was going to use 90cm either fabric pots or aerated pots with a soilless promix (any reccomendations there seems to be lots of options)
Then just make a rainwater feed mix and water alternativly with the feed mix and plain rainwater when the moisture meter is reading dry 1/4 up the pot.
Keep temprature around 22-24degC then drop to 17 during lights off time
LED light at 26" above the top of plants moving closer during the grow. HPs 24" moving down towards 15" dependant upon heat. may not use the HPS depends how warm the room stays but if needed ill use the extra light. at which stage should I start switch lights from 24h to a cycle?
Maybe start some LST at around half total height (50-70cm so would introduce at around 30cm)
Does this sound acceptable or do I need some more reading time?
Any advice is greatly welcomed Id like to establish a good base set up that yeilds good results that I can then make alterations to over a few grows and see what I find works best.
TIA
