Hello everyone! And welcome to my grow journal.
I thought it would be nice to see what kind of input I can get from people, to see what recommendations or ideas people have. I had a small thread on my "Introduce yourself" thread. I got a lot of information there from THG and Rosebud :vap_bong__emoticon: Thank you.
I am fairly new to growing. I have been involved with 4 crops, just helping with set up the rooms and watering. Wasn't the main guy. I had an opportunity to use a small tent at my house, so I am trying to see if I can get some medicine from it.
Most of my equipment that I list will be used, as I received it from a friend who passed away and left me with some items in his storage unit.
To start, the Tent is 2' x 2' x 5' - don't quote me on the height. It is from GrowLab. It is inside of a shed that is maybe 7 x 7 or so. The shed has intake vents to bring air in and out.
Attached to the tent I have a cfm fan that is pulling air out of the tent into a shed. I have a carbon scrubber then pulling air from the shed to the outside.
I am using T5HO units for lights, as that is what I was left with in the storage unit. I have 3 T5 units. The first is a 8 bulb 4' tall unit. Then I have a 4 bulb and an 8 bulb 2' units. I also have a hps hood with no glass and a ballast and 2 1000 watt bulbs. I was not able to fit this into the tent, so I'm using the T5's.
I purchased 6 clones from a CL prop 215 delivery. They told me that 3 were Superman OG and 3 were Girl Scout Cookies. 5 of them are in 2 gallon pots, and 1 is in a 2 liter. I fit them all into the tent.
My medium is coco coir with perlite and some worm castings and fish meal mixed in, like a hempy bucket. 2 drainage holes to help with draining.
I am using a AN coco coir Sensei grow a and b and then their B52 nutrient. I have AN CalMag as well, because I have read that you can get a deficiency in these when using Coco. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I was using advanced nutrients piranha liquid microbial, advanced nutrients tarantula and advanced nutrients voodoo juice at first to build roots but I did it too long and the plants were starving. That is when I purchased the other AN nutrients.
Okay, so it has been a long read. Time to finally start talking about the grow.
The plants were purchased January 29th in little red cups. I transplanted them into the current 2 gallon bucket and 2 liter bottle on Feb 1.
They started out with little watering, non ppm'ed or ph'ed water. Just water from my 5 gallon that I fill up at my local place. The plants weren't doing so well in the beginning, they were hungry and under watered. Thanks to the other post I was able to get help identifying and then purchased the A and B system.
Since the feedings with the correct nutrients, the plants have grown and gotten better. You will see below with all the pictures of how it progressed.
