Hey everyone,
This is my first time posting so please bear with me, I will try to give as much info and be as clear as possible. Any helpful advice you have to offer will be greatly appreciated.
This is only my second time growing so I am no expert, but i like to think I've done enough research to come out with a quality crop. I am growing Pure Afghan seeds from DNA Genetics. (I love the stone you get from a nice hard-hitting indica strain.)
I'll start by giving a layout of my 'grow room'
- My light is a 400w MH/HPS with a switchable ballast, and my seedlings are currently under (4) 2ft. T5 fluorescent tubes.
- I have a flood tub (about 2' x 3') filled with hydroton expanded clay pebbles. There are (6) 6" baskets inside but I do not yet know how many of them i will use because there is not a huge amount of space.
This sits on top of a table and underneath the table i have a 14 gal. resevoir that i fill with purified H20.
- A small submersible pump pushes the solution up through 1/2 tubing and into the table for 5 mins. every 8 hrs. The table drains back to the res within about 10 minutes.
- Inside the res I put a 12" airstone that constantly aerates the solution.
- I made a DIY Co2 system using yeast and sugar water, which consists of 2L bottles with air tubes leading up to the plants.
I will be using FoxFarm GrowBig, BigBloom, and TigerBloom. I know their nutrients are very heavy so i dont plan on using more than 50% strength the entire grow.
I germinated my seedlings about a week ago in small 1" rockwool plugs, and shortly after sprouting I placed them into the clay pebbles under the fluorescent tubes. They are currently being fed a very diluted solution of organic BigBloom only.
I only started 2 seeds because i am still unsure of my final goal. Ideally i would like to grow a strong mother plant and continue to clone from her.
Should I attempt to grow a mother plant on this grow?
How many plants can ideally grow in this space?
Should i consider using a screen?
A few things i plan on doing in the next couple weeks include:
- Add mylar to the walls and possibly separate a second small space for clones to be kept or force-flowered to determine sex(as i am working with seeds).
- Invest in a pH/EC meter as i know how important pH and EC are when dealing with hydroponics.
