Hello,
Just thought to share my progress since starting this project 8 weeks ago.
Started out with 10 Crop King seeds, 5x OG Kush and 5x Sour Diesel. Germinated seeds by placing in a cup of water for 24hrs on a propagation heat pad. Then another 24 hrs on paper towels on the heat pad. Had 9 of the 10 germinate. Placed in jiffy pellets and put into a propagation dome for 7 days on 18/6 lighting. Slowly turned down the humidity before removing from propagation dome. Then Transplanted into 1 gallon plastic pots. I did a triple Mix with 1/3 Pro Mix hp & 1/3 Happy frog Potting soil & 1/3 perlite. Placed freshly potted plants into a Piverto veteran 4x4 tent with 450watt led. Tent temperature was kept around 72-78 degrees lights on with a humidity of 65-70% Waterings between 3-5 days With tap water that had sat in a 10 gallon bucket with an air bubbler to clear up our city water with Chlorine. Water was balanced with bluelab Ph and EC pens. Our city water has a Ph 8.0 & EC 0.3. After 12 days in the 1 gallon pots I transplanted into 5 gallon cloth smart pots. The roots were looking very developed almost root bound? Started feeding nutes about 4 weeks into veg. I was at first using some nutes that I purchased from Piverto at the time of my tent order. They are in the form of salts. I fed them a little heavy! (finding out after doing some research) Used 2.0ec feedings and fed them back to back for 4 waterings over the next 2 weeks. I was kinda getting ahead of myself and not researching before doing as I was stoked to be growing
I noticed some of the leaf tips were browning and I started to measure the runoff. It was around 2.8ec! For all these waterings I was getting about 20% runoff.
This is where things get interesting. Over the last two weeks I was building what is to be my ultimate grow room. I’ve spent some time reserching grow rooms as I did not have intentions of long term use with the 4x4 tent. I built a 8’x10’x 7’6” ceilings shed package.
-1200btu perfect air Split AC
-4x spider farmer sf2000 leds
-Fresh air drawn in through 20x25x5 furnace filter box homebuilt.
-titan co2 regulator and rain tubing with 50lb co2 bottle.
-small humidifier and exhaust fan hooked to an inkbird humidistat.
- small heater hooked to Inkbird temp thermostat.
-4” suction fan from filter air box to shed( to reduce negative pressure while exhaust dumping.
-6” carbon fan filter air dump/humidity control/air exchanges.
-8” carbon fan/filter to scrub air inside shed at all times.
-2” thick foam from hardware store for interior. Almost like a Mylar material. I’ve seen a few people online use this so figured to give it a try.
Now that the grow house is ready, I worked at getting the temps/humidity dialled in and and stable.
The plants went into the grow house that is actually inside my heated shop. I had the temps around 78-80 degrees humidity 65-75% and started putting co2 in at 1300ppm. I now had given the plants an couple waterings with just tap water to flush as I figured over fed. I switched to Using Advanced nutrients 3 pack micro/grow/bloom. Giving them feedings now of only around 0.7ec max and only every second watering.not sure what is going on as the plants have some major brown spots and and looks like some leafs are dying and yellowing. This is where I’m lost and getting worried.
I have been slowly switching the time shift to flower from 18 hrs down to 12hrs. Looking at doing this over 7 days. As I’ve read you get less stretching.
Any comments questions or tips sure are welcome.
Thanks.

edit: I see you tried this, so I’m worried about your pH?
