Hello everyone. It’s been a grueling 9 months since I decided to embark on this journey and countless hours I’ve researched numerous forums, watched videos and sought out information from our fellow members here (thank you all again) to get me where I am today.
‘I started from the concrete slab in my garage and and initially planned on purchasing a 5x5 gorilla, but after researching found that a sealed room would be better for me, so video by video I learned how to be a carpenter, electrician, plumber and painter. It all came together and I designed an 8x8 sealed room insulated on all 4 sides including underneath and on the top.
Inside I have a 5x7 grow side and a 2x7 side sectioned with orca for the res and other equipment.
‘I run a 4 site RDWC and 3-5gal smart pots with pro mix bx
GH nutes(until I learn to spoon feed)
Teas for soil
2 sun system 315w lec boss fixtures with Phillips 4200k & 3100k bulbs for veg and flower
12,000 window ac
Dehumidifier
Eco plus mag drive 350
1/10hp chiller
11gal top off res2
8” ac infinity fan
Phresh filter
20lb C02 tank with controller.
Bluelab guardian & controller connect
The strain I chose is White Fire OG and they are not fem. Last year I really enjoyed the smoke and it came with more than enough seeds, so I kept them all.
1-21-2020: picked 7 seeds and let soak in tap water for 20hrs
1-22-2020: placed in paper towel & ziplock and 7hrs later the roots were showing
I tried to time it correctly but the seeds ended up being ready before I was. The tap root on them were long and some twisted. The rooter I had to cut to fit the root inside. There was no chance in inserting it from the top hole, but the show must go on so...
1-25-2020: transferred 4 seeds to rooters and into system in 8” net pots
Tap water
68*F(chiller)
130ppm
5.8ph auto controlled
Also placed the remaining 3 seeds into smart pots
3hrs later those in the RDWC are already starting to wake up
It’s been fun so far, learning something new and I’ve only scratched the surface. Now that the construction and design phase is over I can focus all my attention to learning this strain and what’s best for it(the fun part). Im a bodybuilder/personal trainer, hence the name ‘SwoleGrow” and training/nutrition is my passion. Hopefully this will be useful in the training and nutrition of these ladies (fingers crossed)
So today is day 2 and everything is going well so far.
