Hi guys
I am working on my first indoor grow. I have done one outdoor grow this past summer. I learned lots from it but ended up having to harvest early because of bud rot. Was able to harvest a few pounds of early White Banner. I ran into all kinds of issues when they went info flower: PH\deficiencies, spider mites, aphids, gnats, under and over watering but managed to get through all the issue.
Grow Info:
Strain: Barney Farms LSD Autoflower (This order was an accident, thought I was ordering their photo strain. Figured I would run them to get rid of the seeds. I will only running photos going forward.)
Pots: 5gal soft pots
Soil: Sea Soil Container Complete
Soil additions: 3/4 cup dolomite lime (Tried adding as an amendment to prevent a PH drop. I had the same soil require a top dressing to fix low PH when going into flower in my outdoor grow and was hoping this would prevent that issue this time around.)
Nutrients: Full Remo Line - trying to find a good feed level currently feeding at 1/4 strength about 2ml pre gal of each bottle.
Veg Tent Info:
Tent Size: 2'x2'x4'
Light: Mars Hydro TS600 - 100W
Grow Room Info:
Info: My grow room is located in my garage. I have fully insulated the walls, floor and ceiling. Currently using a passive intake to cool the room with air form the garage.
Room Size: 5'x6'x8'
Lights: 1000W Meijiu 10 bar (MJ-1000H-V2). Currently dimmed between 700w and 800w
Fan: AC Infinity T8 - setup to keep the temperature at 80F
Carbon Filter: AC Infinity 8"
Heater: Oil heater - setup to warm room to 70F when lights are off using inkbird controller
Dehumidifier: 20 pint - setup to keep humidity below 55% using inkbird controller. With lights off I end up between 55%- 65% humidity with lights on I sit around 40%-55%
Seeds were popped on Oct 15th and sprouted overnight. Sprouts were planted directly into their 5gal pots and put in the veg tent getting about 200lux of light.
Day 19: I have watered once a week with plain water so far. No training yet.
Day 22: Still watering once a week with plain water. No Training yet. Have seen a couple fungus gnats so I sprayed with neem and put up a sticky trap.
Day 27: Had first feeding with the veg nutrients at 1ml gal several days ago. Did a bit of LST and tied to main top to the edge of each pot, seems to level the canopy out nicely. Side branches should catch up quickly now as they are not far behind. Still spraying with neem to get rid of any gnats.
Day 29: Had second feeding with veg nuts, still at 1ml gal. Side branches seem to have already caught up. Tent is getting tight now but I will have my new grow room ready very soon. Hoping I still have enough time to get these autos under a SCROG. Plants are getting about 450lux at the canopy now.
Day 31: Moved plants into their new home. I have dimmed my lights so I am getting around 500lux at canopy. Temp is set to 82F and humidity it sitting around 35%-40%. I put my SCROG net on the plants and have started to spread them out under the screen.
Day 36: Have noticed some deficiencies since moving them into their new room. Found the PH sitting in the low 5s so I added more dolomite as a top dressing. Also added a TSB top dressing of kelp to each pot, was probably a bad idea. Gave first feeding in the new home, this was closer to half the recommended amount and came to about 500ppm, this was also probably a bad idea.
Crap: The day after this picture I had nut burn on the tips of some leaves and also had some clawing and cupping. I assume I over feed them here, especially since they are probably locked out from the low PH. I have also bumped up the humidity so its closer to 40%-45%, leaves seeming very dry. Then I waited a couple days and gave plain water to flush the nutrients.
Day 41: Still noticing some curling / drooping in the new growth, not praying like I would expect. I have since moved the temp down to 79f as the leaves seeming a bit dry wondering if its not to hot for them. Still tucking and bending to fill the screen out as much as possible. I have given one more plain watering to continue flushing nutrients. PH has started to bounce back now, all pots are between 5.4 and 6. I have added a three more Tbsp's of dolomite lime to each pot.
I can only attach so many pictures so I will finish brining this thread up to date in the next post.
