Just got my new tent and light! So, here's a grow journal to celebrate its inaugural grow.
My equipment:
1000w HPS with Cooltube (new)
1.2x1.2x2m Grow tent (new)
50cm Carbon filter
450cfm centrifugal fan
120cfm inline fan (if needed)
Canna Terra Pro
Canna Terra Vega & Flores
Ph Test Kit
Ph Up & Down
Cal-Mag (if necessary)
EC/PPM Meter
Prepared to get a dehumidifier if necessary.
Strains (ready to be germinated as soon as I get the tent up and running):
OG Grape Krypt (regs) - DNA (x2)
Blue Cheese - Barneys Farm
Vanilla Kush - Barneys Farm
Bubblegummer - Female
White Widow x Big Bud - Female
Fruitylicious - Mandala
Tutankhamon - Pyramid
Critical Sensi Star - Delicious
All feminised seeds except the OG Grape Krypt.
Variety is the name of the game with me. Im happy to sacrifice some yield, for having a very good variety. I'll have to be on my toes, training wise, LST and topping where necessary to try to keep a somewhat even canopy. We'll see how that goes. I wouldn't mind getting a male from one of the OG Grape Krypt seeds...might be able to do a little selective pollination (read pollen chucking) and get some nice seeds out it.
So anyway, that's 9 plants in total. They each get 40cm x 40cm space to finish in. So not big plants. Ill start them in my old tent under a 400w HPS for the first week so they can gather their strength before being thrown under the 1000w. Im going to be vegging in 3.5 litre pots. No predetermined veg time. Could be 2 weeks, could be 7 weeks (unlikely)...it just depends how fast they grow. I'll just try to time it so they fill up the space nicely.
They'll be flowered in 14 litre pots. Flowering time will be 60-90+ days I'd expect. With this many strains, I could be harvesting over a few of weeks. Should be fun...hmmm.
I haven't got it all set up yet. Before I do, there's a couple of things I need to run through first:
a) Ventilation set up - was thinking this: passive intake -> carbon filter -> 450cfm fan -> ducting -> cooltube -> ducting out of tent. Should this be changed up, use the 120cfm in there somewhere? Or will it be effective? Being winter down here now, heat should be okay, but as soon as the warmer months hit, I might have a problem.
b) Nutes - Im new to the growing in Canna Terra Pro and using the Canna nutes. So a couple of questions for anyone who has used it: Will I need to supplement the plants with anything extra, or should the Vega and Flores be enough? Also, what EC/PPM should I be mixing up these nutes at? There is a calculator on the Canna website...should I follow this for mj? I've done a few searches, but haven't yielded a lot of relevant info. So any info relating to the Canna Terra products would be helpful.
Im itching to get it set up, and it needs to be done soon as the seeds are germinating. So any and all input welcome.
All in all, being my first grow with this set up, and the nature of the grow, I will be aiming for a pound. Anything over will be a bonus, anything under and I'll be disappointed. From what I've read around, a pound + should be well doable with the 1000w at 62w per square foot...that's just under .5g per watt. Sans any major screw ups.
Can't wait to pop these babies and get under way. Good times ahead.
Btw, is there a minimum amount of amount of posts I need in order to post pictures? Not that there is much to see right now anyways...but I'll pop a couple of pics of the set up when it gets...well, set up. Lol
