What's up y'all - I've been posting in the Micro Grow forum, but wanted to bring this grow log out into the open, so more people can yell at me over what I'm doing wrong.
New grower here - building my way towards a two room perpetual micro setup.
How Micro is micro?
My clone and veg chamber is a PC Case (0.75 sq.ft) running an 85-Watt CFL (65k, 4200 Lumen, 350w equivalent) on a timer at 18/6.
My flower chamber is a spacious tent, typically used for clones. It's 1.5x2.5x3 ft for a total of just under 12 sq. ft (exact dimensions: 45x70x90cm, 18x30x36"), which is a significant upgrade from just the PC Case. She's got a 135watt Quantum Board inside her which fits nicely right at the top of the tent and allows for passive cooling. Rather than blow air around the inside of the tent, I have a small 4" fan keeping the place cool, and filtering through a small carbon filter at the same time.
Whatcha Growing?
The plan is to get a couple full cycles under my belt with cheap/beginner genetics, then pop a couple nicer beans... So if you want to see nicer buds grown in here, help me keep these moody fuckers alive!
Currently I've got a Crop Kings Purple Kush, and a Crop Kings White Widow girl vegging in the larger tent. Once they're healthy I'll be taking clones, firing up the PC Case, and flipping the tent to 12/12.
But I need help...
Grew some outdoor bud when I was a teenager, this is my first time getting involved indoors. I'm learning as I go but could use some feedback.
One of the drawbacks of the Micro forum is that it's a ghost town. Half the time I'll post updates and ask questions, then weeks will go by before someone sees it.
At all times, feel free to leave feedback, tell me what I'm doing wrong, debate others on related topics, and where possible teach us with examples of your past experience, rather than something you've read. I'm here to learn, others are here to learn, and others will be from the future using the search function to learn more about how to cultivate this beautiful plant.
Up next? Pics...
