Hi everyone at RIU
I've posted a few questions on here, and people have been kind enough to answer, many thanks to those who have already taken the time to do so, and also to those yet to come.
Welcome to my first indoor grow
First, the setup
The clone/seed box is 8' long x 4' high x 4' deep in which I have a 250w grolux HID mixed spectrum or 2 x 125w CFL blue spectrum.
This is divided into 2 compartments, one for mothers and one for clones.
The main Growroom is 12' x 12' x 8', completely insulated with 50/75mm Celotex/Kingspan.
In this space there are 6 x 600w grolux HID mixed spectrum above metre square trays, ( one per light).
The room is very well ventilated by an 8" inline fan mounted in the ceiling feeding a heat exchanger to distribute the heat around the building via a sealed system of insulated ducting. Abundant fresh air inlets whilst maintaining a very good negative pressure.
120 litre reservoir with 2 airstones.
Using Canna coco professional, Canna coco A+B, TNC calmag, H&G Roots Excelurator. Got some Rhizotonic, PK 13/14, a ph meter and an EC meter on their way.
So, to the plants. A friend of mine took 50 clones in lots of 15+ and gave them to me, so there is a size difference between the clones. The bigger ones are 12" tall now and look healthy, showing pre-flowers and raring to go 12/12, I think.
The smaller clones are about 4" atm and suffering either a nitrogen or mag def, but should be fine. Gave them some calmag & H+G today, hopefully that will sort it out.
These pics were taken 5/8/13
Roll on and prosper
