Hello! Welcome to my first grow!
Lets start with my setup :
-4x4x7' grow tent
-400 cfm 6 inch exhaust fan
-6inch carbon filter
-200 cfm 4 inch intake fan (not sure if I will keep it yet or just use passive intake)
-4 x 304 boards LM561c (from alibaba- 2 per heatsink)
-2x meanwell driver hlg-240h-2100b
-A few fans for air circulation
-A humidifier
-White widow seeds from crop king seeds
-PH pen
-Thermometer/hygrometer (for both temp and RH%)
-Soil is promix organic vegetables and herb mix. From what ive read I will be good to use that soil for about 3 months without added nutrient. During flower I plan on adding nutrients
The grow tent is in a closed room with 2 doors. The size of the room is about 16x9x7.5'. Therefore to increase the temperature in the room I am using the room electric heater.
I did some testing before I started and I had a constant 20% Humidity at 22 degrees. Therefore I bought a humidifier and ran it non stop for 2 days and was able to increase humidity in the tent to 55-60% and 50-55% in the room outside the tent
Goal is between 1-2pounds (500g-1kg)
Started the seeds on February 1 in water for about 24h then used paper tower method.
I planned initialy for 4 plants in the tent so I decided to germinate 5 seeds just in case one dont work.. ended up dropping an additional one by accident in the water so got 6 seeds and they all germinated.. i even have a seeds who looks like a twin seeds so I may either scrap one of the two or split them up and end up with 2 plants (for a total of 7) what ive read on twin seeds is that usually one will be a mix of father and mother and the other one a clone of the mother so im interested on keeping both just to see but not too sure yet how to split them.. one thing at a time.. it will be a bit more watering but should cut some of the veg time with more plant I was planning for 6-8 weeks veg to get a full even canopy and possibly SCROG
Im starting with small pot (cheap pot and I drilled holes on the side- i saw someone do that and thought it was a smart idea) then looking to move into 1 or 2gallons pot and end in a 5 gallons smart pot
I put my seeds in soil on February 5 and mist water on them. Ive put only 2 boards with light for now at the maximum height at one side of the tent and the pot in a corner on the opposite side.. it allows me to get them just a little lights (18/6 cycle) while they reach out of the soil while allowing me to monitor temps and humidity for day and night. Ive put the thermometer on the ground beside the pot and got about 21-22 celcius with light on (about 24 degrees in the middle/upper part of the tent) and I looked this morning and the lowest was 18.5 celsius with lights off. So far it looks good but ill try to increase the temperature a bit especially for day time. I am in eastern canada and its currently winter. Regardless of outside temp I think I can maintain a good inside temp. The room is in the basement.
Feel free to follow my journal, I will certainly need your helps and feedback as I grow my girls. I plan on keeping you updated very often with pictures and comments! If you have any questions please let me know!
Thats the set up exhaust and intake fan are outside the tent. I also have additional fans not showing in the picture and the humidifier.
Thats before I put them into soil - you can see the twin at the bottom of the picture
That was the reading right when I put them into soil but dropped to about 22 degrees and stayed there until light went off. You can also see the drilled hole on the side of the pot
