PICS ADDED!!
This is my first grow. I've done some research over the past two months on the A/G. I feel like this is the perfect set up for me. I decided to keep a journal on my progress. I ordered 5 feminized lowlife auto ak47. I'm only planting one as I hear the A/G is only good for one plant but others will say you can do more. I feel the reservoir is to small to grow no more than two plants but that's just my opinion.
This is my set-up:
-A/G with 6 pods..4 pods are covered with electrical tape and the other pod is covered with a golf ball (will explain later in the grow why I did this)
-4in airstone with air pump. I have a valve to regulate how much air is being pushed through the airstone.
-2 23w(100w equivalent) 2700k
-Fan
-Advanced Nutrients Micro, Grow, Bloom(NOT using the A/G nutes)
-I have everything on a 20/4 schedule besides the fan and airstone I keep them on 24/7
I just started almost 72 hours ago. It has grown about 1 1/2-2in. since I have planted it in the sponge. The germination process was simple and I placed the seed with the tap root facing down in the sponge.
I have been monitoring the ph levels daily. I have been using walmart ph adjusted(5.8 )distilled water.
Here is my journal so far:
Oct. 19- Put in glass of water for 24hrs. for germination(8pm)
Oct. 20- Put in moist paper towel with a paper plate underneath and placed it on my cable box(turned on) for another 24 hours when the tap root pops out
Oct 21- Put in A/G time was 7pm......5.8PH NO Nutes
Oct 22-Checked PH it was @ 6.1 got it down to 5.8 time was 7PM
-Observation: Top of seedling on top of the sponge
Oct 23- Checked PH it was at 6.5 got it down to 5.6-5.7 time was 6 PM
-Observation: Seed/stem is a quarter inch out of the sponge
-Checked PH it was at 5.8 time was 6:35pm
Oct 24- PH was 5.9 time was 12PM. Didn't have to adjust PH
- Observation: It has sprouted 1 1/2 inch time was 12pm
-PH was 5.8 at 8pm
