Well, didn't want to create an account and was very happy just reading through multiple other forums but the feedback on this forum was to good not to. Id like to share my grow with everyone and look forward to hearing feedback as my first grow kicks off.
Here's what im going with:
Seeds:
- 2x Lemon Pie Auto Fem
- 2x Skittlez Auto Fem
- 1x Lemon Auto that seedsman gave me for free lol
Notes on Seeds:
I understand these are all auto flowering seeds and my grow process is going to be at an accelerated rate, however my learning will be also. I know i should've bought straight feminized but i didn't know as much as i did now when ordering. Next time i will, but for this grow its okay and i don't mind.
Setup:
- 3x3 grow tent
-1000w LED light off amazon
- 6in Clip on fan
- 5 gal fabric pots
Medium Choice:
70% Pro Mix HP
25-27% Cow/Horse Manure
3-5% Perlite ( Not sure if to use or not to use)
-Notes on my medium, I've spend hours researching and going through threads, if you have any other ideas for me i have about 1-2days before these seeds crack and put their roots out as i have just put them in the paper towels a hour ago.
- I understand also that coco would be a great alternative, however, i have a weird coconut allergy and just don't know how i feel about growing my plants in coco, i also understand I've smoked bud multiple times and never had a reaction of the sort. Its more of a mental thing lol.
Nutrients:
- General HydroPonics Flora Series
- Cal Mag
- Advanced Nutrients Big BUD
Notes on Nutrients: These are all liquid nutrients
Notes on Feeding/Watering Schedule and Questions:
- I have a feeding schedule I have prepared for my plants as they grow however not sure if to share or not as it may be a longer read, but if anyone is interested i will gladly share!
- Being as this is my first grow i still have a lot of different questions regarding this process in general, I plan to water every 2-3days depending on the plants, but i know they will generally create their own schedule and im prepared to adapt. But i am not to sure if i should give them all their nutrients in one watering and then throughout the week just give ph water, or if i should maybe feed about half of what they would be getting that week and feed every watering? I've heard to reduce build up it would be better to feed every other watering, still the question lies on my mind. How much?
- Another thing that is on my mind is LST, i plan to start around week 3 with bending the plant in a circular motion around the pot, clockwise, changing the direction every day or so. Id love to do topping and create a canopy for flower, however i need to research more about it, open to any suggestions of other LST methods or how to properly top a plant. As i am a sponge right now on this stuff.
- I have heard to trim the fan leaves but i still don't understand the entire process behind that.
- One more question i have is how much water i should be actually giving these plants per age and stuff, like throughout the weeks do you guys mix up a nice batch of nutrient water in a home depot bucket? And how much water should each plant be getting?
Finally i look forward to sharing my experience with everyone and hearing as much feedback as possible, I have much to learn and look forward to. I will try to keep this post alive and share pictures and status's of how my grow is going with you guys! Thanks everyone look forward to hearing back with anything you guys have to say or questions for me!
