Hi all,
Just a couple of questions for a noob. Im on day 14 of my grow. Its my first time and a bit of a learning process, although I am loving it! Just to give you a background of my setup. I have 10 girls, currently in a wilma 4 pot system, 4 will remain in one of the wilma 4 pot trays, 4 more will go in the other 4 pot tray i have and i have 2 plants in one big pot (these 2 in the big pot are just 2 extra that Im going to hand rear, kind of a bonus if they grow well).
All 10 pots (11 litre) fit nicely into the one wilma at the moment, they are approx 7-8cm high and are on their 3rd set of leaves. Although i have 2 600w MH lights, because they are small, I have them all under one light (600w SuperVeg) which the guy in the shop recommended to start them off.
I have 2 other bulbs, Sunmaster 600w (dual spectrum). My first question is, at what point do i split the 8 pots into the two 4 pot wilma systems and hit them with the Sunmaster 600w bulbs? Should I wait until they are a certain height?
My second question is to do with feeding. There seems to be a few methods on this. Im currently hand feeding them with a 1/4 canna mix at the moment as they are still young. I plan to install the wilma drip feed system in the next couple of days. Am i right in thinking I should feed them twice a day ie. when the lights come on in the morning at 6am and then again when they go to sleep at midnight? Next week, i plan to put them on a full feed as per guidelines from Canna.
My last question is to do with my extractor fan. This thing is really noisy. Ive got people living in the flat upstairs and a little concerned that they can hear it. My room is actually located where the boiler is kept. It does not get that hot in there, even when the heating is on (stays at around 25 degrees Celsius). Its attached to one of the walls with my ducting venting outside. You can certainly hear the hum from inside the flat but because its attached to the wall, i used some floor linoleum folded up several times to act as a buffer between the wall and fan. Just wanted to know what else i can do to limit the noise from this fan. I read somewhere that some people put their fans in a box with insulation. Maybe remove the fan from the wall and hang with bungees? Just wondered what experienced growers have done to combat this?
Thanks for reading, apologies its a bit of a long one
Peace.
