Alright guys take it easy on me I'm new! I recently purchased some Bubblegun beans from Spliff seeds. I plan on growing these in a DWC system which holds 4 plants. I planned on only using 2 plants in my dwc setup due to it only holding 4 gallons of water and spacing between baskets is minimal. The lights I will be using are a 400 watt mh during germ and veg, and a 400 watt hps during flower. Onto the actual schedule and guidelines though.
Humidity- 50%
Temperature of water in res- 65-70 degrees F
Temperature of enviroment- 75-80 degrees F
Ph of Water- 5.5-6
PPM- begin at 100 end around 1000
Nutes- Unsure what brand I wanna use but heard it should be 20-5-5 during veg and 5-20-20 during flower
Water level- (First two weeks)- even with Hydroton (Weeks 3^)- Inch below baskets
All of the above I will check daily
Germination - Dampen a paper towel and place the seed inside the paper towel. Fold the paper towel onto the seeds and place on a plate. Cover with bowl and place in a dark warm area (80*F) and let sit for 2-3 days. Fill rockwell cubes with water and gently shake some of the water out. Place seed root down in to rockwell cube and place cube under light. Check moisture of cube periodically to make sure the seed is properly hydrated. When roots begin to show through the cube I should then place cube into DWC Setup.
Week 1-(VEG) 24 hours of 400 watt MH. Adding no nutes and keeping ppm around 100 (tap water). During week one I should check moisture of rockwell cube to insure it is staying moist from dwc. I am under the impression that during the first week or so the water level in the dwc should be level with the bottom layer of hydroton. Change water, checking daily to make sure they have the correct amount.
Week 2- (VEG) 24 hours of 400 watt MH. Adding minimal nutes to gradually increase ppm to 200(by end of week 2). During week two I should be checking to insure my roots are healthy and continue to keep the water level at the level of hydroton.
Week 3- (Veg) 18/6 hours of 400 watt MH. Adding some nutes to gradually increase ppm to 300.
Week 4-10-(Flowering) 12/12 with 400 watt hps. Adding some nutes to gradually increase ppm 100 per week. As said above I plan on checking my plants health daily as well as the humidity, ph levels, temperatures and ppm.
Drying - Begin by using one branch at a time and never let bud lay on flat surface for prolonged periods of time. Clip off all fan leaves and dispose of them, leaving a small stem, clip the buds and hang for a week or so.
Curing - Place buds in jars, wait a week and check the moisture of the buds. If wet take buds out and let dry a little longer, if damp leave lid open and seal at end of day.
As said in the beginning, Take it easy im new, but I think Ive done my research. Any/all helpful suggestions are greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you think Im missing something or if I was misinformed on any of the steps. What do ya think, am I ready to grow?
P.S. I plan on growing in the crawl space beneath my house. Its temperature is usually around 60 degrees, do you think the lights will heat the area up enough, its about 25 ft wide by 15 foot long. I am also concerned about the amount of space in my crawlspace (about 4 ft of plant room). I can dig in my crawlspace about 5 ft, and I planned on placing res about 3/4 deep in dirt to keep water levels cool. What are some tips to keep my plant short? I know about the scrog method, is it simply putting chicken wire around the height you want it to stay? I know I missed so much shit so please inform me experts! THANKS
Also- Plants are for personal use only and max yield is something I obviously as a first time grower am not expecting.
