Hey guys 'n gals,
OK, this week I germinated, and planted soon after, 4 White Widow, 3 Speed Queen, 3 Satori and 3 ** (bagseed) beans in FFOF mixed w/ 25% perlite. I saturated - not hard to do - w/ distilled water. Not sure what PH is at all.
I have all but the Satori in a covered pan at 85' - all seem to be making quick progress (must be the warm temps, which I hope are not too warm). The Satori - covered separately - cracked later and haven't yet sprouted. All these are in the loft of my garage under four 4' 45W tubes.
In a day or so I plan to remove the cover and place them under four 4' 54W T5 HO tubes w/ circulating and exhaust fans in the Mylar-lined veg chamber: 4' x 3' x 3.5'
With any luck, I'll have some females to choose from for my 3' x 2' x 6' flowering closet outfitted w/ a 400W HPS (yet-to-be-built) cool tube á la THG.
I've grown like three crappy grows in the last 18 months not really knowing what I was doing. Thanks to many of you, I think I know what I'm doing now. I know I'm gonna have to adjust for height, so FIM and LST are on the agenda.
Once I have some choice females, I have a cloner set-up which should - theoretically at least - allow me to set up a perpetual harvest. I guess I'm more about smaller and more frequent harvests rather than one large one. I figure that'll help me out w/ the learning curve also.
I'll try to update regularly w/ pics whose quality can only improve also
Cheers!
