I Pulled my trigger yesterday.

[BigFoot159]

Finally got/had money saved for this adventure. Pulled the trigger on a ac infinity 5x5 advance grow kit.

Unfortunately it left too broke to buy the other stuff ph pen, soil, beans and list goes on and on. But the good part is it will be here this Saturday. Then I will have to stare at for a month to gather up more money for the rest of the stuff. Now we are committed to it no backing out now.

I bet if you ask around someone here will send you some seeds

Need the tent first. The rest will come in due time. Beans burning holes in your pockets without no place to lay their heads doesn't do anyone any good.

Can't wait to see your grow begin.

Ahhhhhuhh brother you're not alone! And the struggle is real. I've been piecing together my grow environment for months! I got a tent and stared at it. Then fans and stuff and set them up. Lol. Piece by piece. It took forever until I could start my grow. On the bright side it gives you time to decide strain as you get you bags and medium. Roll one and smoke it in your tent. I did that a bunch. I also came on here and fantasized and asked about 1000 questions as I was building and preparing.

What are your thoughts on medium? Since you are purchasing things maybe I can suggest you look into a super soil bag for your grow. If you do that you save a bit on fertilizer and a set of pens.

Have fun on the journey ! It will be worth it once we have invested enough time and are producing our own quality smoke!

Need more then just seeds.

Need soil
Ph pen
Humidifier
Nutrients
Ect....
But it would be great if someone wants to donate seeds. I am looking for strains that will help with nerapthy, arthritis, depression. Most strains help this but if one is better than another, that's what I am looking for.

To be honest it is probably best it comes in this order. It will give you a chance to familiarise yourself with how it all works.

Hey that's sick! You will be up and running next round of purchases.

I have the aci t3 humidifier in my 5x5. That actually does the entire lung room easily and it's a lot less than the t5.

Also your soil is very important. Make an informed choice on soil. Using soil means you probably won't need a pH pen. That sort of balances itself out depending on your planting medium. If you get coco to grow in you do/should get a pH meter. Also the proper soils will greatly reduce the need for lots of fertilizers. Some will get you into flower before you would want to feed anything. I'm just really pleased with having used some highly amended mediums that have helped me have a few easy successful grows going so I can't strongly suggest this enough.

That set up is serious boss level!

Welcome to the AC family and no I don't mean ants Canada for those who know
I feel the pain and excitement your going to be going through over the next month id recommended borrowing the money from someone or somewhere and get started straight away... The sooner you start the sooner your saving money, right now it's not exactly wasting money but it's not making you any either
I knew from last time I couldn't sit with it and wait for other stuff so I literally ordered everything I could need to get it going right away, you could start germination in a couple weeks if you wanted to get a head start without spending more now.
If you ever need any advice or help hit me up

 

[BigFoot159]

Yes that the exact one, spent 1373.00 for that bad boy.

Never thought about smoking in one. I guess this is how pro's test carbon filter?

I got 2 bags of ocean and promix hp with micro, 2 bags worm casting and a heap of down to earth addmendments on my list to buy. Is the good ?

That is a good unit, and it is exactly my set up by the way, 5x5 with a 730w LED. It is much better for someone just starting to stick with quality all-in-one grow-kits, and you got yourself a good one.

lol Don't worry, the carbon filter will work. They seem like magic at first but its pretty simple, carbon granules do all the work and you wont smell a thing on the other end of your carbon filter. The trade off is that your exhaust will draw more power as it has to pull air through the filter.

I'm working with a similar set up and absolutely love it! Welcome the the life and the farm. I'm still finding things I didn't know I never needed. Today it's under canopy lights and a couple high cfm pole kits. Next is a self for the lung room.... I don't really see an end yet either. One or 2 items a month. Slow and steady.

 

[lenhug]

Same here and another shout for the 5x5 tent! I had the all in one 3x3 as my starter kit and it was excellent so this will be also. As ever, moved on up and got a different light and what not but mostly everything else is ACI stuff.

Good luck with your grow, lots of great wise heads on here to help you or offer suggestions.

 

[BigFoot159]

What do think about my soil and nutrients?

You will need the help and guidance of more experienced growers than myself for suggestions on feeding and soil mixing. I've only used already amended organic mediums and am more read up on hydroponics than soil. I know I've read lots of successful growers using FF and promix. There are so many great soil growers here

Congratulations! I just set up my first grow too! I’m in a ac infinity 4x4. Glad you pulled the trigger and got the ball rolling. It took me like 3yrs of research and motivating myself to finally start. The good news is that once it arrives it will give you extra motivation to get all the other things you need. Goodluck homie! We got this

 

[BigFoot159]

Well 5x5 kit came yesterday. It didn't take long before I ran into first issue.

How to hang the light?
Carbon filter, in line fan and driver I want on outside of tent. So I can have maximum height for the light and it keeps most of the heat on outside.
The way they show it in book is the stainless steel wire and two rope hangers. This puts one of them in back of tent where it will difficult to get too.

Does it matter which direction the bars go. Front to back? Side to side?
And is there rubber pieces go roof support bars?

Hangers my friend! AC Infinity might have it differently, and it might have 2 wires that meet in the middle so you only need 2 ratchet hangers. I have to use 4, but this is mine, 2 on each side. Principal is the same, you would attach ratchet hangers to the steel wire provided I assume, I don't use AC Infinity.

Carbon filter, in line fan and driver I want on outside of tent. So I can have maximum height for the light and it keeps most of the heat on outside.

I only have my inlet outside of my tent. My exhaust is directly connected to my filter, inside my tent, and is pushed right up against the entry side, supported by tent hanger pole. I don't think fans create enough heat to worry about them being inside the tent, but having the LED dimmer unit outside the tent is okay if you know you'll have problems with heat, that thing does create heat in flower. I have an A/C in my lung room so I just leave my dimmer in the tent.

Ignore all the extra-securing that filter is really fucking heavy and I get paranoid. This is how my exhaust is rigged up inside my tent. It isn't in the way of my LED, but, my LED is pushed up against the opposite side of the tent so it isn't squarely in the middle you know? I don't really care this is just the way I have always done it with the space I have.

Does it matter which direction the bars go. Front to back? Side to side?

It matters if you want the controller in the tent, because it needs to be a certain orientation for the controller to sit firmly and forward on your light, and if its sideways the dimmer will be facing the wall lol. But if you are putting the dimmer outside? You could put the LED in sideways no problems, no, it doesn't matter. If putting it sideways makes it more accessible for you to ratchet your light up then go for it, the way the bars are sitting doesn't matter. Just don't put it upside down!
