Hi everyone. New here and wanted to share my grow. We live in the Mojave desert, growing here has a learning curve, even indoors.
I like to experiment, and do things unconventionally at times. This is my first grow in 30 years, now that it's legal. Still not legal to grow outdoors here tho, so indoors it is.
Room is 11' x 11', 8' tall. There's a divider in process that will create a separate clone room within. Main grow space is about 7'x8'. The table is 4'x6', but only 12 buckets. Next grow will expand to 15. Started with a 7 gallon res, now up to 35. Note the flow thru tube low between the bins. Buckets drain into one, it pumps out of the other.
Lights- off brand Chinese LEDs, 3@ 1000w, and 2@ 1200 w (manufacturers rating, yeah, yeah). They are cooled by twin low voltage fans mounted in that massive DIY reflector. The room is cooled by a 2000cfm swamp cooler that also provides breeze (no sign of wind burn!) to help stem strength. The humidity generated makes the room 55-60% RH most days. Will have to get that down for flowering.
Plants are mostly at the end of week 4. Three of them are only week 3. A few just hit preflowering last night with little bumps, but it's too early to sex them. Maybe later in the day...
2 strains, both from bag seed, likely hermies, OG Cheese, and Dream Cookies. I damn near killed them a few times already, so they're not as big as they could be. Had issues with too small res, pH drift, starved them for the first three weeks, and had the lights way too high. They're recovering nicely, let's see if my pics will upload! Ah, they suck. Curse you blurple!!!
Oh, using Fox farms trio for the time being, grow big at 700ppm. pH now stays between 5.8 and 6.2 like a good boy. Started supplementing with big bloom 2 days ago, and switching to tiger bloom when I go to 12/12 next week.
Don't judge. Lol
