First off. Hi everyone!
Total noob to growing and to RollItUp so if my questions are blatantly moronic and not well thought out feel free to berate me and slag me off... just kidding. I do appreciate true criticism though, especially from those with a higher understanding of the art/s i'm trying to lean about.
So for my first grow I've gone with some decent bag seed I got from a friend, these will be using to learn how to take cuttings, clones, topping/fimming and all that jazz so even if I screw up it won't matter to much
and some WSS fem skunk** as my non experimental 'Master' grow.
Pots and Mediums:
I have decided to run a 1 (uk) gal DIY Hempy bucket for each plant using a coir with a medium grit perlite reservoir.
Grow Spaces:
The grow spaces are 100cm x 50cm and 50cm deep (per plant) each containing 4 x 35W 6500k and 1 x 35W 2700k CFL. The 6500k lights are on each side of the plant and the 2700k above, both are adjustable to match plant as it grows (more lights can be added later in the grow should they be needed). I have 5x 80mm pc fans (3 intake and 2 exhaust) hooked to a universal plug which allows my to vary the voltage/speed of the fans. I have the intake fans at the top of the grow space and the exhaust fans on the opposing wall at the bottom of the grow space.
My seedling box is a smaller set up of 30cm high x 20 cm wide with a depth of 20cm, this only contains 1 x 13W 6500k and 2 fans (1 intake 1 exhaust).
Nutes:
I'll be using the BioBizz** range of nutes at 1/2 strength once seedlings have got to veg stage then upping to full strength incrementally over a few weeks.
Questions:
Now you know the set up it's time for those questions the title mentioned lol.
1: What do you guys think of my choices for my first grow? (CFLs are my choice because it's cheaper and easier to have them rigged to an emergency battery set up should my lecky go out lol).
2: Would adding a coil of highly perforated aquarium airline to the reservoir and an airpump pumping air through it like a... wassname (bubbler?) have negative effects on the roots?
3: If the answer to question 2 is 'yes it would have negative effects' (or similar), what if I had the coil of airline in my reservoir and used a syringe to manually agitate and aerate my reservoir only a couple times a day?
Sorry for the wall of writing lol and I look forward to hearing from you all
Highness and happiness to you all.
