Hello all I'm new to the forum but I've been growing for about four years now. Started with CFLs then moved on to an Apollo 1000W Cool tube kit. I've grown many Incredible Bulks and Heavyweight Fruit Punch with the 1000W with great success just got tired of trying to manage heat and power bills so I decided to switch to LED. I have two P450's from Platinum LED In a 6 ft. long 2 ft. wide and 7 1/2 ft. high closet I lined with Mylar.
I'm growing three Incredible Bulks that I germinated in a paper towel soaked in PH'ed water, when the seeds cracked I put them into 15 gallon pots.
For the pots I put Geolite clay pebbles about 2 1/2 inch's thick in the bottom of each pot with two large air stones in the middle to pump air to the root system. I top that off with a mix of Fox Farms Ocean Forest, Happy Frog and ProMix HP about 1/3 each part.
I have a screen door on the closet with a 8000 Btu A/C unit keeping it nice and cool. Going to be doing 18/6 veg then 12/12.
I’ll be using the Botanicare nute line Pure Blend Pro Bloom & Grow, Cal-Mag, Liquid Karma, Vitamino, Hydroplex, PH Up & Down, and Clearex I go by their recommended feeding schedule for each it has served me quite well in the past.
For their water I collect the condensation from my portable A/C unit in a five gallon bucket and water the plants with it since it’s very pure. The PPM readings are between 5 and 30 and my PUR faucet filter is around 85 brand new. I like to keep the PH of the water I feed them nice and evil at 6.66
Today is day 7 since they broke soil. I have some pics of them at day 3 I'll post. If at any point anyone has any questions or tips they are more than welcome. Will post more soon.
