Do you have the Professor's 45 Day Plan in short form or a how to document that you could post?? I've tried to wade through the BS of the boards to no avail so I thought I'd ask. Please share with us the Professor's 10 Commandments.
I have a $3k investment and have setup my grow with a lot of the info you have shared. I am using a 4x4x6.5 tent ( in my defense I had already purchased the tent and it is perfect for my spare bedroom). I have the Lumetek 1000w dimmable, 6" Magnum xxxl, 6 site DWC, CO2 with a Digigro meter and regulator setup, Titan digital timers, I have a 720 CFM fan blowing (should I be pulling the air?) across the bulb and vented outside. It's a short run to the window from the tent. I also have a Aqua chiller 1/10 that keeps the water the perfect temp. I also a Sony IP camera that I can access from my iphone & ipad remotely from my SECURED wireless network. I can see the CO2 meter, the temp and humidity without ever going in the room. I can keep the room temp controlled with my home a/c or later in the year by opening the window. The temp inside tent running on the ballast at 50% is 78 degrees. I have run it at 100% and the temp never got above 86-89. The water temp is 68 degrees +- 2-3 degrees. The humidity is 50-55% now but will drop to 40% when I turn up the bulb.
In a nutshell, I have spent the money, done my due diligence and bought the right equipment and educated myself in the process. I am a NEWBIE but am not deterred. 5 years ago I got a wild hair in my ass and decided I was going to be a beekeeper. After ordering a shit ton of equipment off ebay and reading everything I could about beekeeping I was in the beekeeping hobby! 1 year later I harvested 9 gallons of honey and was certified by the University of Georgia. I have done the same so far in my quest to grow for PERSONAL use. Unfortunately, all I have access to is low grade dirt weed where I am. Its overpriced and smokes like an old burning tire! I dont like the risk of going on a goose chase for shit weed and have decided I can do better. THE VERY FIRST TIME!!! I'm a college educated veteran will a great job and good life. I am happily unmarried and live alone in the country. I have a very nice setup for the grow area and feel very confident that I can grow undetected. I have told no one other than my GF who is my assistant. She is an attorney and know the consequences. She is also spoiled and likes to smoke the good stuff!...I do too!!!
I have this entire eco-system setup and eagerly await your advice on what I have done so far. I have 11 Swiss Cheese ( I also have Hypnotic, Swiss Cheese & G13 in a house plant pots. I'm going to use them as mother plants for clones later.)
On Wednesday evening 9/21 I soaked 10 Swiss Cheese seeds for 4 hours in room temp RO and then put the seeds in paper towels in a dome with a heat mat. 20 hours later ALL 10 had popped and the root was about 3/16" long. I put them in super plugs and put them in the 6 3.5 gal DWC buckets running lights at 50%. Some of the buckets have 2 plugs. These are feminized BTW. I will have some beauties in just a couple more days. I am running at 50% on the light and I have it 4-6 inches above. I am using RO water at 135 PPM. I have added nothing! The PH bounces a little and I have practiced a lot prior to ever germinating. I have done many 'test runs'. I'm ex-Navy AirCrew.. kinda ingrained ya know? The lights, timer, CO2, water, chiller, etc.. everything is operating and working 100%. I have all the kinks worked out and keep the PH 5-7. I have 3.5 gallon buckets and a total system capacity of 25 gallons. I also have PPM meter and PH meter.
I am concerned about NUTRIENTS & PPM!! I need the skinny on the House and Garden line you reccomend. Can you explain step by step the nutrients and feeding schedule as it applies to my setup and your guidelines? Do I need all that Big Bud Bubble Gum BULLSHIT I see in the hydro stores??? What do I need? I WILL ORDER IT ASAP!!! That's another thing . . . I WILL LISTEN TO WHAT YOU TELL ME AND DO WHAT YOU SAY!!!
I would greatly appreciate ANY 'remote assistance' you could provide! How about a "How To" document on The Professor's 45 Day Grow !!! I'm serious about this grow and would be honored if you could share your knowledge with me. I would even be willing to do a video journal using my ipad2 and you could see my setup and follow my grow. I could upload the videos to DropBox and you could view them. If you have a webcam you could respond and leave in dropbox or we could even Skype and do a live video call. If you don't have a webcam I'd be willing to purchase one for you!
I don't need hand holding and my ass wiped. I just need some solid advise and a little guidance. I promise I will find my way quickly. So what'll say? You up for the challenge? I think I can harvest 9 lbs in the setup my first time.
Have a great evening!!!
