Alright I'm planning out my first grow. I've been reading everything I can and still have a few questions.
I will be growing in a utility area under my house. I'm going to use a grow box, not sure what size (suggestions would be appreciated).
Will either start seedlings in small cup, or transferrable pot to 3 gallon pot.
I'm going to go with 400w mh/hps system.
I will use the mh during vegging and hps during flower. Will it bother the seedling or have any negative effects if I use the mh then too?
Light Cycles will most likely be, 24-0 for first few weeks, then 18-6 for few more weeks, then 12-12 to flower. Any take on 24-0 vs 18-6 during veg?
Going to go with two 4-5in fans, one bringing in fresh air, the other blowing out used air through a carbon filter to eliminate odor.
I will be growing ak47 x northern lights probably around 5-6 plants for 2-3 females.
Anyone have any experience or tips for growing this strain?
Should I use the same soil from seedling to flower or switch? And any soil reccomendations? I can't get foxfarm btw.
At about 3 weeks I will start using nutes, probably just some organic miracle grow, unless other suggestions? lol
Buying pH test kits from wal-mart.
Plan to veg for 35-45 days, flower for 50-60 days.
Will germinate in moist paper towels, in a plastic bag, in a dark place.
Will monitor temperature and rh with gauge. Might invest in a heater if it gets to cold during dark time.
So, my main questions are:
Soil suggestions? and should I use the same soil from sprout to flower?
What kind of light to use for seedling, will mh be okay?
24-0 light cycle vs 18-6 during veg?
Best nutes after 3 weeks or so?
Grow box size suggestions and cheap reccomendations?
To produce some seeds for future grows and to get the best bud, should I just try to pollenate one female or all of them?
Sorry for all the questions, just wanna make sure I have everything planned before I start.
Will probably have follow questions and thanks for the time and answers
