Hey everyone I just started my first grow a few days ago. I picked up 3 clones on 3/1, and then a 4th on 3/4.
The 4 strains I got from a local dispensary are:
Chiesel (Hybrid - Sativa)
Chem Dawg (Hybrid - Indica)
Sour Tangie (Sativa)
Remedy (CBD)
Here's my setup:
4x4x6.5 Grow Tent
600watt HPS/MH Adjustable Grow Light
4 square 1 gallon pots, 4 5 gallon Smart pots for the future
Grow Medium is FFOF
6" Inline CanFan
Carbon Filter
Temperature/Humidity Monitor
6" Lasko Fan for air circulation
Lots of bungees and zip ties
I still need get a good extension cord (inline fan cord won't reach), some nutrients (got any recommendations to go with FFOF?), a pH test (did ya'll like strips, or a tool?).I'd like get a bigger oscillating fan for when the plants a are little bigger, another temp/humidity monitor for the top of the tent. I need to do a bit more research, but there was something I've seen people add to the soil to help with microbes of some sort?
Here's the current timeline for everything:
Day 0 - Purchased 3 clones from dispensary at night.
Day 1 - Was going to plant in Solo cups, but decided that I'd just go straight to 1 gallon square plastic buckets. I planted the Chemdawg, Sour Tangie, and the Chiesel. The Chemdawg is noticeably bigger than the other two. Each plant got the same amount of water, about 36ozs each, until each had about the same amount of runoff. I topped off each with a little soil and water after it had settled from watering.
Day 2 - My inline fan hasn't been running yet as I need to get a good power extension cord. Thankfully temperature has only peaked at 82 degrees. The window in my tent is next to the window in the room so I can easily cool the room off if I need to, or ventilate exhaust out.
Day 3 - I wanted to grow 4 plants in total, and I wanted to get a CBD strain so I can experiment with some topicals and edibles, maybe some pills. The dispensary was out the first time so I went back. There was only one person in line the first time I went, this time there must have been at least 12 people, not to mention everyone else purchasing flowers and edibles. I went ahead and planted the Remedy when I got home. It was already well rooter. It's smaller than the Chemdawg, but bigger than the Chiesel ans Sour Tangie.
Day 4 - That's today, I'm starting this journal. Currently I have the tent open and the temp is 77 degrees, 46% humidity. When all closed up, it gets up to 82 degrees, with the window cracked. I'm just letting the breathe a little until I can plug in my inline fan. I've had my small 6" fan in the corner, lightly blowing over all 4 plants.
I've had the light on 50% from the beginning, as the clones were under fluorescent bulbs at the dispensary. I also had the light all the way at the top of the tent, and have been slowly lowering it to give the plants time to adjust. They seem to be adjusting alright. For some reason some of the fan leaves have been snipped back on the Sour Tangie and the Chemdawg. The ends of the snipped leaves on the Chemdawg have turned brown and died.
All help is welcome, along with any tips you may have. I'm learning still and hope to be able to harvest from all 4 plants.
My guess is I'll water again on Wednesday or Thursday. People have already mentioned mixing FFOF with another starter soil next time around as FFOF is a bit hot.
Does that mean I should wait a bit longer to start adding nutrients, or should I start introducing them slowly this next watering? What are some good nutrients to start with?
I need to decide on a growing method. I should have plenty of space with 4 plants and 16sqft. I may need to top my Chemdawg soon, but I have no clue to what degree or what time is best.
Here is the current state of things. The lights are about 30" above the plants. I'll be dropping themagain tomorrow. Let me know what you think. Thanks!
Here's the full grow setup. Not sure if this will be the final design. Will probably experiment over time to adjust temperature and humidity.
A little more up closer and personal. Front right = Chemdawg, Back Right = Remedy, Front Left = Chiesel, Back Left = Sour Tangie
Cheers,
