Okay guys, I've been a creeper for long enough. This is my first grow and I'm starting off with something different than the traditional HID route that many swear by. Will I do well or fail miserably? Only time, and this thread will tell. If they die, you see the pics. I'm not bailing on this thread until dry weight, or total plant-etary armageddon. (I love puns)
First off, This wasn't my choice setup for sure. I'm working with the limited space I have, which is a hot (110 at times) small room with no ac. I chose the co2 to save me cost on running the portable ac unit and decrease flowering time. I chose the lights for similar reasons. What I really would have liked to do was a vertical scrog stadium with 2 bare 600w HPS and 1 400w CMH, but the space was an issue and heat was already a huge limiting factor. (As is my
horticultural experience, lol) The vertical guys are pulling off amazing GPW results with low power and are my inspiration for lurking the forums like some creepy weed pervert well into the night.
I chose the SOG method for this grow so canopy penetration wouldn't be an issue with either of these lights and I could still pull dense full sized buds covered in trichs. I'm not doing this traditional route per se either. I have x12 1gal pots per 61qt under bed storage tote.Those 1gal pots aren't going to be loving me come next month, but i have a plan for that as well.(more on that later) I will be shuffling these daily 1 over. (e.g. Mon=12345 Tues=23451 Weds=34512 and so on). that way each plant will benefit from the fuller spectrum of both the t5 and led.
I currently have 23 green crack little girls that vegged about 7 days. WAY too long for my plan, but I'll work it somehow.I will have another tray ready of x20 Green Crack,x20 rocklock,x5 l.a. con, and x5 hindu skunk that are headed into the flowering room in FFOF with a little added perlite as soon as they are all rooted.
Here is what I'm using:
1x 4x8 tent
1x 9,000 btu portable ac
1x quantum badboy 12 bulb with quantum ho fluorescents.
1x stealth grow 602
1x sentinel chhc-4
1x 20lb co2 tank
1x hydrofarm regulator
Soil is FFOF in 1gal pots
