I'm making plans for my next grow and would like some advice or a critique.
I have a 4x4x7 tent with 400 watts between a cob and quantum board led. I'll be growing in an organic living soil that I will making from 1 part each of worm castings, perlite, and coco. I'm also going to sprout in the final pot hoping for seed to harvest without any transplanting.
I'll be amending the soil with Dr. earths 444, kelp meal, azomite, and mycorrhizae, in addition to nematodes to deal fungus gnats that I expect to run into since I did with my last grow.
I also have on hand high nitrogen bat guano, high phosphorus seabird guano, langbeinite, Dr earths 394 bloom, liquid seaweed , unsulphered black strap molasses, and urb. The urb is a microbial inoculant to kick start the bacteria.
I'll be watering with de-chlorinated tap water ph'd to 6.8. Supplemented with liquid seaweed each watering and making a tea with the urb, molasses and some of the other fertilizers once a week.
I'd like to use just 1 smart pot, I know I won't be able to fill out the whole 4x4 with just 400 watts but I'll be training for a 3x3 canopy using a trellis net. I'd also like to get into a couple weeks of flowering before needing to amend via top dressing with the bloom ferts. I'm expecting between 6 to 8 weeks of vegging with a 8 to 9 week flowering strain.
I'm using 1 pot because of where the tent is, I only have access to one side and it's a pain to reach through the closer pots to water and train the pots that would be behind the closer pots. I know it will take longer than if I did 4 smaller pots.
Assuming all goes according to the timing, will a 7 gallon smart pot be sufficient? Would using a 10 gallon smart pot be better for the longer veg time?
Also is there any other advice anyone can give me with how I will be going about with the setup and soil? Any other amendments you can recomend also.
Thank you.
