Hi everyone,
I've read alot of your grow journals and have gleened alot of growing information. I have very little left to do before I put together my rooms but I thought a journal would be good so people can see what I'm doing and point out or correct my posible noob mistakes as I don't have a mentor to teach me the in's and out's....I welcome all your input. I have a few pics of some bag seed I'm starting with - as it's a first time for me, I don't want to "pay" for my mitakes.
I have 2 seeds germinated and under led right now. I have daily pics which I will post later. As well as when I start putting my room together I will post pics of what I am doing and why.
I am planning a 3X4' veg room and 3X4 flower room. Veg room I'm setting up drip hydro and doing ebb and flow in the flowering room. Mainly the reason is I have watched "mr.greethumbs" and I will be honest and tell you I don't know what if any difference the style feeding has on the end plant, but I have the pumps and hoses, have to go get some totes and set it up yet. If I don't get too stoned today I will be going and getting the wood I need and setting everything up as much as I can tonight.
I have some Cali. Orange and Norhtern Lights seeds coming... Ordered from Attitude seeds based off the other forums I have read and not hearing much bad press, decided to go with them, ordered and paid for them on Thursday night, so I will also let you know when they come in to act as another gauge to them if they are good seed bank, they should have mention.
I have 6 X 50 watt LED 5MM panels so 300W of LED for veg and I have a 250W HPS for flowering. I am going to be rigging a light mover for the HPS to try and cover the flowering room. I know, I was going to go with a 400 Watt, but I want to see if I can get away with less hydro usage and less heat output through exhaust - as that seems to be a big reason that the ops around here are getting raided. Cops uing heat scopes and checkin' hydro bills. I do know it'll make a difference, but it seems a little safer to do it this way now and I may upgrade the light next grow depending on how well this works and how else I can lower my electricity bill... another reason is the electricity is included in the rent, but the landlord still gets the bill, and I don't need him noticing a big jump, he will question it before the cops do.. that's why there is such an importance on low profile. I have 2 years left on my lease, so, I figure I have time to run a room here and still be able to move it down the road.
I am going to try and ue LED as supplimental light in flower room as well, but I dont' have those yet and I may borrow from veg room if I need to.
I have ordered my nutes, GH 3 pack, basic stuff, if someone could make a suggestion as to a good nute set that works really sweet, I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one who appreciates it!!
I'll be making my own carbon filter from tutorials, and the light mover is going to be done from a tutorial from here as well to see how that works for me.
The rest is all going to have to come.. pics of the babies I will try and get up tonight sometime.
I am just finishing the plans to determine my needs before I go to the store to buy.
