Started my first Indoor grow yesterday.
Picked up 4 really nice looking clones from a Dispensary. 2 OG Kush and 2 White Russian.
Planted each into 2 gal buckets, bottom drilled for drainage. Used Ocean Forest potting soil, this stuff looks and smells really nice and should have enough nutrients for the 2-3 week veg cycle that I'm planning.
Added 2 teaspoons of "Plant Success Granular Mycorrhiza" to the soil right @ the root ball. This Bacteria is supossed to battle the bad bacteria that can cause root rot, @ $5 for a bag that looks to be able to treat about 8 - 10 new plantings I couldn't say no. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. I figure for the $ any chance of helping my new girls, is worth it.
Bought a new 400watt switchable ballast, a Hortilux MH and Grolux HPS.
I have the light set @ about 33" from the tops of the buckets and plan to lower it 6" - 8" every 2 days untill it has reached the proper height from plants. I'm doing this becouse I have no idea what light set-up these clones where under b-4 I aquired them.
I guess I'm hardening them off. Lights are currently on a 18/6 schedule.
Didn't want to spend to much $ or put unnecessary holes in my ceiling, so I built my own PVC pipe stand for the light.
Had a high temp. of 84F and a high humidity of 40% lows of 78F and 32%. I don't really know how to raise the humidity, so if anyone can help I'd apprieciate it.
I have a small osculating fan on low just barley moving the plant tops for now.
For now the set-up is missing any type of reflective surround. But by the time We go to 12/12 I will have it wrapped in mylar. also plan on installing a nice vent fan into my attic. Any other improvments will have to wait for more $, Over $600 in one day was painful, yet somehow absolutly enjoyable, if you know what I mean.......
I will try to post every couple of days or so..
Thanks for reading, and if anyone see's something I missed or has any questions just reply to the post.
Day 2
Had hi/lo temps of 86F and 82F. Started the A/C brought the temps down to 83F for the high will have to wait till tomarrow morn. to get low/light out reading. I may have to find the $ soon and get a vent fan going to lower the temps.
The humidity is still LOW...between 34% and 28%. Any ideas on how to raise it????
Gave each plant 3 1/2 cups of water, they each drained about 1/2 cup out of bottom. Misted each plant w/ water. Should I do this during light on or off?
When I brought the clones home they showed a little nitrogen burn, but now it seems to be getting better.
Each plant is now turning towards light and standing tall.
Since I am writing this on day 3, we are currently getting ready to move all the furniture out of this room and the entire room will now be dedicated to the grow. I have the best wife in the world, she gave up an entire room in our house for the grow and then she went out this morning and bought me a set of shelves for the grow room!!
Day 3
Hi/lo Temps 85F/76F Hi/Lo Humidity 30%/24%
Lowered the lights to 23" above buckets.
No water today soil still quite damp.
Day 4
Hi/Lo Temps 84F/75F Hi/Lo Humidity 29%/25%
All plants got 1 1/2 cups of water today, Clone OG "A" was droopy gave extra 1/2 cups.
OG Kush clone "A" is a fat three leafer, will try to adjust watering.
Added Two CO2 generators to grow room "active yeast and sugar water"
Also switched A/C fan on to full time for added ventilation.
Day 5
Hi/Lo Temps 84F/74F Hi/Lo humidity 30%/25%
Gave all plants 1/4 turn and raised smaller plants as so to equallize plant tops.
Each plant has grown 1 1/2" except OG A"the fat three leafer, she is still the same height as she was when I brought her home.
Will post pix as soon as we BUY a camera LoL
Day 6
Hi/Lo Temps 83F/75F Hi/Lo humidity 32%/26%
No water today, Misted all plants.
Adjusting A/c to 76F and leaving the fan on 24/7 has equalized temps to average high of 83F and a low of 75F/76F.
Day 7
Hi/Lo Temps 83F/76F Hi/Lo Humidity 30%/27%
Eveyone got 2 cups of water and misted.
All plants got 1/4 turn, clockwise.
I am seeing 1-2 new leaves everyday now,I'm so Stoked!
What kind of growth is average?
All above way copy/pasted from my thread on another forum. As time wears on I'm a little less longwinded and will try to keep it interesting. Please repond to any Questions or if you have any suggestions.
