room
12 ft x 10ft main + 2X8 ft closet
table
4x8 homemade with 3in slant to drain running outside
( can make a bigger one if needed )
electric supply
#6 wire on a 50 a breaker into sub panel
2 20 a ckts on mechanical timers 2 20 amp ckts on all the time
venting (current setup)
2 squirl cage fans(one is hydrofarm other is scavenged ) each approx .75 amps and unknown cfm
input is from under house, output is from top of light and to outside
both run at same time 15min on 15 min off, and use 4inch flex duct
temp is running 72-79 and humidity 30-40% right below plant canopy at the moment
plants 7 lavender supposed to be mainly indica red pots
4 white widow black pots
1 blue dream little one in the front
currently in soil in 2.5 quart containers
soil is 'roots organics' indoor/outdoor potting soil
no supplemental fertilizers have been used yet
hand water with tap water every 2-3 days
have not yet, but plan on installing mylar on back wall
will switch to 2 1k hps's for flower
(noob) questions:
when and how often to transplant
ya i know "transplant when root-bound" but does that mean,
i can see a few roots coming out the bottom, or does it mean a mass of twisted white
when you pull it up by the stem...
-is it ok to transplant after bloom starts
- tall vs short and wide pots for final location
- how big should the last pot be? 7 gal?
pruning
-prune the small branches forming at the base of the stalk?
- my largest plant is already 2x+ the size of the smallest,
top the big one, pull it over and tie it, or just set the little one on a block?
When to go 12/12
-so.. im gonna have 2 1k hps for flower and i have an 8 foot room. how tall should i let the girls get before i switch,
currently thinking between 2 and 3 feet?
Fertilizers
- go spend big bucks at the hydro store or get something from the local super-sized hardware store?
- mess with micro nutrients since im using soil,
- specific products or brands recommended
- should i fertilize with a low concentration every time, or a normal concentration every 2 or 3 times i water?
what is the next step
probably not going to be able to invest much more money into our medicine until tax returns lol, but
what are the next major upgrades or changes that you more experienced gardeners recommend like for example...
-co2 and a closed ventilation system for the lights
-air purification system (activated charcoal etc)
- go hydro if so is the deep water culture the way to go in an area that can loose power fairly frequently?
thanks in advance for taking the time to look at our post and give us advice
