Hello,
As stated this is my first attempt at a Grow. I have been lurking for quite sometime now and made the plunge in posting. I have the 4 tote bubbler with the two base and main rez's. I am aware this system may be homemade and is quite small to actually utilize all 24 pots but i decided to go ahead and give it a try since im not looking to grow that big of plants and just give her a test run for the potential of this type of grow, learn and maximize on future grows.
I have done my preventive work in my growroom and have done as much reflecting as i can to say the least lol. There are two sides to my closet and i have made the system symmetric to the reservoirs. Each side contains 8 CFL bulbs ranging from 20k to 65k and 40w to 105w bulbs. It is an exact replica of each other as mentioned earlier. I also have numerous 20 watt bulbs i will be using underneath the plants so that they may obtain light from all areas. I have also "ghetto" built hoods that house 8 bulbs and have attached a fan at each end of the hood to help keep it cool as well as a fan on the plants and on the rez's themselves. The area has mylar all around and since its an open closet with no doors i made a mylar door per say that rolls out and encloses the area. I will upload pics soon just trying to explain what i got going. I will be attempting to grow mainly white widow and a couple pot of gold (i am aware it is not wise to grow different strains together) but my majority grow are white widow.
I am starting with clones and and am using CFL lighting with ordinary grow/bloom/micro nutes. I just picked them up to me and to my surprise they were transferred into little soil cups. So this is my first hiccup being that i was not ready to do a transfer from soil to my rockwool, or straight to my hydroton, nor have any idea how to correctly transfer if even possible. I have them at the time sitting under 4 cfl lights with a damp cloth to help in humidity so they may eat and root some more. Than again i am not sure if the best thing for me to do would just to transfer them now or wait till they root a bit more...I have also been told to not use any nutes at first so they may adapt to the new conditions and after 3 to 4 days to them give them nutes (water is at 5.8ph)
Anyway, i hope you all can partake and help me learn and hopefully pump out some butes in my first attempt. Pics will follow.
