Hey everyone so I had originally put up a journal about my grow, but my title was way off, because I was originally going to go with a NFT system, with LED lighting, but before I started I decided to change up a bunch of stuff, so I decided to start a new journal.
This is my very first attempt at growing, after researching growing techniques and reading journals I have come up with what I need and want for my grow box. Everything I chose to put in this box was for a good reason, either shortage of cash, the limited space I had, or the fact I need it to be SILENT.
The specs of this box will be as follows:
-4 X 3 X 4 box
-3 plant Aeroponic/Drip system (DIY)
-15 gallon res
Lighting
-250W HPS/MH lights in a cooltube.
-200W CFL (Side) Just to help out with overall lighting. And also will use this for my clones and new seedlings, and the early stages of veggin.
So here is a list of my equipment that I chose.
Ventilation
- S&P 140cfm inline fan (heard these were quite quiet)
-DIY Inline Carbon filter (Easy to Build DIY Carbon Filter) Im going to use this method but also add my own tweaks to make it an inline carbon filter. just an extra 6" ducting piece and also a 4" to 6" connecting piece.
- Oscillating fans
- Computer fan intake (with a filter added to it)
Other
- PH and PPM and temp monitor
- Mag drive 500 water pump
- Mylar reflective sheets
Nutes
I decided to go organic, and go with the Botanicare line of products read some good reviews and they seem like a good company that knows what they are doing.
-Pure Blend Gro Pro & Bloom & Soil Bloom
-Sweet
-Liquid Karma
-Cal mag Plus
-Silicia Blast
-Clearex to flush
-General Organics Bio Root
-30% Hydrogen peroxide
Pretty much the entire line up.
So I started germinating all 5 of my GWS and all 5 germinated, but the problem is I only made 3 spots available in my aeroponic system, so I had to put two plants in one 6" net pot. Hopefully this wont be a big deal since I will be doing LST and SCROG, as long as there is enough space for the roots.
Anyways I am just starting my grow, its been 3 days since the first sprout came out of the seeds. They have been under 200W CFL (18/6) for 2 days now and are doing great (I think...) Been easy on the watering (5 min/ hour during lighting), they are in rockwool so I am just checking to make sure the rockwool is wet.
Here are some pics of the box, my DIY inline carbon filter and the early stages of the growth.
Thanks comments, advice welcomed. Haters can off.
