Hi all
This is my first ever grow/post on this website, I have being reading a lot and I must say, reading it and doing it are completely different things haha. I have just about made every mistake there is (thank god for this website as it saved my plant about 10 times lol) but all in all I still think I came out on top
. I started out with a 2 36 watt 4ft fluro and put them it in my cupboard with a osculating fan. Turns out this hobby requires more than that and is awfully addictive, so over the past few months I have spent a bit of $$$ on some gear.
My set up is:
-1.2x1.2.2M grow tent ( I got this as my misses started bitching about the stupid bright light waking her up at night, god woman are selfish haha.)
-600w hps/mh light (ebay deal, but I bought lucagrow hps/mh lamps from my local hydro shop as I read the no name lights are junk )
-RS 150 can fan
-carbon can filter
-small desk fan
-Osmicote vegetable potting soil mixed with 50% perlite, PH has being stable at 6.5 through the whole grow ( I know this is bad soil now as it has slow release ferts in it, I am 4 weeks in flower and my plants have way to much N but are still looking healthy. Next time, I will be going just plain potting mix)
-Charlie Carp liquid fertilizer (for veg)
- Natures Own superbloom (for flowering)
- my temps sit between 70 at night and 75 when lights are on
- I am just using a seed I found in a bag for my first grow but my next grow I will buy some good genetics
I dont have any pics of when it was in seedling and veg stage (next time I will for sure). The main plant is exactly 4 weeks into flower (from when I switched the light to 12/12)and smelling great. The 2 clones are 1 week 4 days in flower. (could you please let me know if my main plant is looking well for 4 weeks flower?).
There is a 2" layer of perlite and yellow sticky sheets on top of my soil as I noticed a few thrips, I have no idea how the hell they got there but the perlite and bug catcher stickers seems to be working well as I haven't seen any in the soil for a week.
I think I'am going to do 1 more grow in soil and than considering a flood and drain system, as I hear plants grow much faster in a hydroponic system.
Anyway thanks for reading my rambling any feed back or advise would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry about the pics my camera is kinda crap.
