0It has taken me awhile to piece this project together. Lots of planning, research and time to save the cash. I sold my drums(a double bass tama) to help finance this project. Finally I am ready to start my first grow. Even though I have my medicine cabinet done I am nervous about everything. I don't want to screw it up! I think for now I just need to keep it simple. But with all the killa info on icmag it's hard not to get caught up in all the different ways to cultivate. Thank you to everyone on here for all the great info you give! Still no matter how much I research I am scared and at the same time excited about learning to cultivate my own medicine.
The medicine cabinet I have was made by a friend and myself. It is 5'Hx3'Wx2'D made from supplies I bought at lowes. Inside I have a 270w Enhanced Spectrum Supernova LED light from Hid Hut. I have a 4" carbon filter and fan combo(with speed controller) that exhausts at the top right side rear. I have a 6" intake hole no fan at the bottom left side front. I have a 6" to 4" reducer connected to some black pvc pipe to light proof this intake vent. I also have 2mm mylar on the walls, and a digital thermometer/hygrometer.
I ordered some auto flower seeds from the attitude seed co. Can't believe it only took a week to get them. the strains I got are 5 feminized Onyx seeds by short stuff, 3 feminized easy ryder seeds by the joint Dr. and they gave me a couple free fem seeds one dynafem haze and a dynafem roadrunner. I will start the germination process today. I'll prob germinate 2 to start, since I'm a scared lil beotch and I'm nervous about all aspects of the growing process. The pots that I have are square 10x10x9 I'm pretty sure they are 3 gallon. I can fit 5 inside my cabinet sitting side by side. I have them in a tray to catch the drainage from watering. Is that to many in there? Anyone think it will be two crowded? I have a bag of Fox Farm ocean forest soil and I also have the recipe for success kit by Technaflora. I was planning on just using the ocean forest soil, but I'm wondering if I need to add anything to the soil? Of course now I am second guessing and thinking I should have went with straight FF nutes and soil. Oh well I got this so let's try it and see. Anyone have any experience with this nutrient package? If I am growing autoflower plants and using ff ocean forest I take it I don't need to add anything for about a 3-4 weeks then start the nutes? Since these strains take 60-70 days it seems to me that I wont be adding that much of the nutes. when you take into account the time to flush and the first month in the ff soil, does'nt leave much time to fert right? When and how often should I start the grow and bloom nutes for an auto flower strain? Thanks for taking the time to check out my set up. Any info you may have for me will be greatly appreciated.
