Hi All,
After several (about 9) weeks of my first grow i managed today to flush to water for my final week before cutting early next week. I have encountered so many problems it seems untrue (although i doubt it is uncommon amongst first timers!) from ridiculous temps, to algae, to seriously fluctuating pH and EC readings and finally an INFESTATION of spider mites - yep they were eating my crop and like a freakin' dumb ass that i am - didn't spot it soon enough! So i've got a hot shot no pest strip in there and they are dying rapidly - albeit too late too have an impact on this grow.
Anyway, coming to my point, i've posted pictures of my ladies and despite all the turmoil i've actually got some bud, although obviously not what i was hoping for!!! So firstly i'd like you to comment on the ladies (please dont be too harsh - i love my kids no matter what!
)
Secondly i have learnt a lot from this first grow, so much so that i think i'll be much more successful, however i have also posted pictures of my unit and would really appreciate your advice on what would improve my grow in all areas, growth, greenery, bud size, yield (i know this is somewhat dependent on strain) and lastly i've posted a couple of pictures of a box that came with the 'kit' and i've got a feeling it is to control my extractor fan (which is really weak!! and hardly cools so must be able to turn it up?) my question with that though is where and how does it work/fit???
Anybody have any ideas of what/how many plants/weight could be achieved in a setup like this?
My setup;
cabinet - HEIGHT =201cm DEPTH =40cm WIDTH = 92cm
ventilation - 1 x 4" Rvk Extractor Fan - 100 mm A1 = 175 m3
1 x High qaulity 100/250 175m/3 4" Carbon filter
1 x 5 Meters of flexible metalic ducting
4 x 100mm steel flexible ducting clips
1 x 40mm turbo inlet fan with powerpack
1x air stone (thought of adding another stone??)
1x 600w HPS
1x cool tube
As always your help would be greatly appreciated!!
Cheers guys!
