Hey everyone someone suggested I start a grow journal so here I am. I'm growing out of a 4x4x6.5 ft tent in my shed. I know it's not the best area but it's all I have at the moment. My seedlings are at day 8 and the two bigger ones are just over 2 weeks. The big ones were planted directly into the 3 gallon fabric pots ( one is a jack herrer from ilovegrowingmarijuana.com and the other including the seedlings are all white widows from ilovegrowingmarijuana.com). All in ffof soil I also add in extra perlite and peat moss through out the mix (I know it contains too much nutrients but I haven't seen any burn yet and plan to switch my soil for seedlings starting on my next grow). I leave my lights on 18/6 everyday and will do so until flower. I'm using a 600 watt air cooled hood with an inline fan w speed controller to move the heat out (this is also connected to my 6inch filter) . I also have a clip fan and another fan moving air in opposite directions and an oscillating fans to breeze over my plants. My ballast is a greenhouse digital mh/hps ballast. I'm currently using a digilux mh bulb for veg and will switch the the hps bulb that came with my light system for flower. I keep a humidifier in my tent to keep the rh between 45 and 55% at all times. My temperature is always in the 70s and at night I use a heater to keep them at 65. I use reverse osmosis water from a wateria near my house and store bought distilled water for my humidifier. I always ph my water to 6.5-6.8. I recently topped my two biggest plants( which I don't think I did right sadly) . I currently water them whenever I feel the soil is dry enough after putting a finger in, and every other watering I use some seaweed extract in the water. I plan to use the Lucas formula with gh flora 3 part series. I'm going to start the big ones on it fairly soon, and the seedlings I'll probably wait till a couple weeks after transferring them. I also plan to use snow storm and koolbloom later on. Any comments or constructive criticism is always welcomed with open arms because I someday hope to be a very successful grower and I can't get there with out all you great people to help me out! Thanks a lot RIU community and I will be posting updates frequently!
