Hi newbie here. FEEDBACK WANTED..comments, criticisms, complements, tweaks, 'look outs', etc welcomed!
Setup:
Closet with shelf for upper and lower growing
(01) 6lamp 54W High Output T5 Fluorescent Fixtures Chain hung to adjust close to plant tops
box fans on either side that constantly blow plants and push hot air to the ceiling
(01) 210 CFM exhaust fan mounted in closet ceiling with 8" ducting to external vent
soil consists of 1part perlite, 1part vermiculite, 1part worm castings, 1part sand, 1part peat moss to 4 parts miracle grow potting soil with a layer of those rubber tree bark in the bottom of each pot for additional drainage
light schedule: 24hr
avg temps 70-80 degrees f.
soil ph right at 7
water schedule (see meter in picture) I usually let it get to the dry portion before I water (never sure, I know this plant does not like 'wet' soil', but with the killer draining soil I wonder if I am not watering enough..why you ask? because the tops totally POP when I water, which on the large orange 5gal pots is about 1 quart a day on average...comments?)
Strains: everything except in the small white pots is a clone.
2 Large plants on the right are GODBUD,
the 2 Large plants to the left are LSD,
the 2 smaller clones in the black pots are about a week in soil and are GRAND DADDY PURPLE
2 of the small seed plants in the white cups are CARMELICIOUS and 2 are UNKNOWN (they are fat leaved (looks like mint leaf!) and very stout, seeds came free with order)
upcoming mods:
going to add (02) 4' 2LAMP 54W HO fixtures vertically on either side of the closet
maybe add another 210 cfm exhaust fan
upcoming challenges:
how do I use the closet as both a vegetative grower and a flowering grower if I have to make one of the two areas 'light free'?
WHAT DO YOU THINK SO FAR? FEEDBACK VERY WELCOMED!
