Dear Diary, (and all the farmers who may read this) this is me bettering myself as an act of self-discipline and pursuit of knowledge and wisdom from those who have it. I will be posting daily pictures for my memory, it is pretty bad... please give your advise or insite as applicable.
I am growing 2 plants currently. a Canna-tsu and a Crunch Berry. The Canna-tsu is in a 1gal pot of fox farm soil. The temp ranges from about 70 deg to 80... humidity is unknown. I do have snow melt in solo cups "dehumidifing" but no meter/gauge yet.
I dont have any nutrients but I do have DIY compost tea. I haven't used it yet but I will soon.
I use tap water that I aerate 24/7 with an air stone. I have been setting ph to 5.5 - 6.5.
I'm using a mixture of led and florescent lights ranging from 2300k to 5000k. also I have a t5 4x4'. All told I can scrounge around 800 watts of light... I'm thinking of configuring my lights for about 700 watts.
If I added it together right. I have 2x 54w actual use led shop light, equivalent to 250w is what it says... so 2 of those plus my t5 54w HO x4 bulbs = 216w... I think. So 216 + 250 + 250 is 716w... I think... and I have a 4x4 grow tent... 16sq ft. Soo 716w ÷ 16 sq ft. =44.75 watts per square foot. I think. Please advise... I flunked math in hs.
Thank you... any of you who read my ramblings.
Respectfully,
Omerta.
