Hey people, I grew tired of searching through countless forums online only to not find an answer or have to wait forever to either not get it answered or get an iffy answer. Since this is the only site with a UC forum I think I'm in the right place. I'll try and document my full grow from painstaking beginning to end, but I'm in need of a lot of help. So I'm putting 100% complete and total reliance on all you UC guys to get me through <deep breath.... and exhale>. So here goes: I've already set up my UCXL13 system, but its incomplete, for example no chiller, reservoir, etc, and the grow room needs to be set up. I'll be using 4 x 500w Blackstar Led's for the grw. Still have some questions about the grow room which noone has yet answered on this forum or on others so please chime in if you can supply the knowledge.
I do realize I have to get rid of the curtains and line the floor so like I said a work in progress. I'm using 14 of the 16 buckets do to space issues. Room is 16 x 12 x 9. This is an apartment grow so everything, flowering and growing will have to be done in this one room. I didn't do so well with the first round of seeds Wasted $300 bucks on seeds trying to figure out a good way to germ. Hurts bad. I know its not good to grow multiple strains in this system but I figured I'd get a few going anyway. None of my Exodus Kush or Bubba Kush purchased from Attitude Seeds germed. 3 of 6 Purple Wreck and almost 3 of 6 Holy Grail germed. It's day 4 or 5 for the sprouts. They are 2-3 inches under a T5 in a closet in the room which I will hopefully use for the mothers.
Let me know if you guys think they're too close to the light. The sprouts don't look to great to me IDK I just thought they'd be bigger. The one in the top middle has a shriveled root and the second leaf is still kinda stuck in the shell. I'm wondering if it retarded the growth. Also the sprout on the bottom still has not lost its shell after 2 days and continues to stay at the edge of the soil (i personally think its fucked). Let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions
So before I can complete my growroom setup I have a couple questions nobody has been able to answer, and yes i have posted them in the correct forums: I'm running an active exhaust with a passive intake. The passive intake is a darkroom louver. To contain the smell (since I'm living in an apartment) do I need dampers for both the intake and exhaust? If so what kind? With the uc system do i need a res tank and a storage tank? What size should they be? My city tap water is 200ppm. Should I invest in an RO system? The faster I get these answers the quicker I can set up my grow. Thanks for everyone who responds. I will be checking back frequently.
