Hello all,
Longtime smoker, however new to this forum and growing as well. I have been reading a lot and thought I would give it a try, so here goes nothin. The majority of the supplies I purchased online, and spent around $600 total, not including the clones. 4 plants total, 2 White Widow, 2 Gorilla Glue #4. I ordered some seeds online, but got anxious and ended up buying clones off Craigslist instead, so this should be interesting..
Tent
4'x4'x80" Standard tent. Using 4" fan and carbon filter.
Soil
Fox Farm Ocean Forest/Perlite -70/30 Mix. 7gal fabric smart pots.
Lights
For the lights, I could use some feedback... I seen a few people say there is a big difference in yield between cheap and high end LED's of the same wattage. I found these "Recordcent" lights on Amazon and cannot find any info whatsoever besides some great reviews on amazon. It wont let me post a link since I'm new, but if you search Amazon for Recordcent LED, you should see them. $85 for each 600w
Originally I was going to go with the Mars 600w, but decided I could get 2 of these for not much more money. I plan on using 1 600w for veg and introducing the 2nd 600w upon starting 12/12 cycle for a total of 1200w of the Recordcent.
At the moment I am using 4 - 23w 6500K CFL's for the young clones.
Nutrients
General Hydroponics Flora Trio + CalMag. Still looking for a flush nute, not sure if necessary. Mykos on the roots during transplant.
Training
I want to keep these plants short, so I will be going with the scrog technique and will top these 1-2 times. maybe also use some LST. 2 Layers of trellis nets.
1/12/18 - Today I just transplanted into the smart pots. I estimate the plants to be entering their 3rd week now, will be running 6-8 weeks veg 8-10 flower. The plants are around 4-5" each, the WW looks a little farther along than the GG4. I am very temped to top the plants right now, they look to have 4-7 nodes and very healthy root systems. I just see a lot of mixed information about what age is best for topping. Also, I think I will switch over from CFL's to 1 600w LED on Sunday, maybe around 30" for now. Also I have not introduced any nutes yet. I figured they are in fresh soil so dont need any extra nutes at this time.
I'll upload some pics so please guys any feedback is great.
