Ok ...I visit this site like 5 times a day just to get a little more knowledge. I decided to write about my grow box set up and say THANK YOU, to all of you. I read where one person said that they liked to sit back, read and listen instead if ask questions and such and that is correct. READING IS FUNDAMENTAL. Most of what you need to know is here for the taking. So here is what I got.
Grow room
4x4x5 Plywood box
White painted walls later covered with Mylar
600 HPS vented hood
600 CFM Can fan
Hydrofarm CO2 injection system
Hydrofarm 150 watt CF for starters
I took a trip to Amsterdam for the Cup and got my beans. “The fellas” at Paradise seeds were very helpful with getting them back.
Beans
Greenhouse-White Widow
Paradise-Sensi Star
Paradise-Bella Donna
Magnus-Warlock
Monkey Butt-hey my homeboy said it was some fire bag weed so I planted it.
Nutes
Fox Farm Everything - Honestly I just like their labels.
Tiger bloom
Open Sesame
Grow big
Bloom Big
Fox farm Ocean Forest
Fox Farm Light Warrior
I am a dirt bagger I travel a lot and when I am away it is easy to tell my “friend” how to water opposed to trying to explain res. temps, aeration, Ph up and down. Besides I like to natural aspect of it. Don’t get me wrong I have 2 Mega Gardens and a homemade Aeroponics cloner with fogger I will be busting out next fall.
I started on Jan 31. I let my ladies go under the CF for about a month. I know way to long but my 600 HPS digital Ballast was back ordered from our friends on the east coast. Besides my box was not ready. The first batch of beans I put in water for 24 hours and planted in soil under a humidity dome and heater.
I have planted 3 out of the 5 Greenhouse WW and none have sprouted. I will talk to Arjan about that at this year’s cup. I think I got a bad batch.
From the original batch I put down 8.... I got 3 females … I know.. I know I was f***king up.
The problems
I brought some BS soil from my local Hydro store and it was way to hot (TDS).
I brought Fox farm Ocean Forest and mixed it with Light Warrior and this also has enough go go juice in it to last a plant for 2-3 weeks.
I got the “claw” Nute lock up.
I flushed my pots and the run off was like Coca-Cola. The TDS was off the charts and the PH was 10.
The Fixes
I brought a ph and tds tester and became a mad scientist.
After I flushed I waited and watered with no nutes for 2 weeks my plants came back.
I planted 8 more 7 are females. Yeah baby.
I will post pictures Sunday.
