Kylesidious First Time Grow Journal

Hello all! I’m new here. I figured I would try to start making myself acquainted with a forum as i started my first grow a few weeks ago and wanted to share my progress as well as have a place where I could get some constructive criticism. Please feel free to comment on this thread whenever you have feedback or suggestions as I will appreciate it! So now I will get into the details of the grow itself and provide some pictures for context.

Tent - 5x10
Temp / Humidity - AC Infinity 6in inline duct fan with automatic temp/humidity controller and AC infinity filter to go along with it.
Flood tray - 4x8 botanicare full size flood table
Fans - one 16in hurricane oscillating fan
Nutrients - Full Cyco Platinum Series nutrient line with Ryzofuel and Suga Rush. As well as Photosynthesis Plus for beneficial bacteria.
Reservoir - 40 gallons
Water chiller - EcoPlus 1/10th HP
Lighting - currently running 2 Spider Farmer SF1000s but need to upgrade to two 4000w or equivalent for this tent, and move these two SF1000s to my 2x4 tent. @MarsHydrofactory sponsor the 5x10 tent maybe?

Here are some pics from the last two weeks. After this first post I will post new pictures every day or two throughout the whole process.








Really excited to see how these babies do. This are 4 seeds I popped of Roasted Garlic Margarita. These were regular seeds so I’m not sure which of these (if any) will be female but I hope to see some pre-flowers in the next week or so if I’m lucky and I’ll remove the males, veg any females in this tent till I can cut roughly 40 clones and then do a 32 plant run with this tent. Please let me know what you think!

Nice looking setup mate good job I’ve always struggled to grow with grodan blocks hence the reason I now go with coco/perlite will be watching with interest

Awesome thank you so much! I've never grown in anything other than these grodan blocks in the past for a commercial grow I used to work for so I know more about these than the other grow mediums so I figured I would try with these before anything else. I'll keep updating here so you can see how it goes

Also what is that co2 box never seen that before don’t think they sell em in Aus

This is the product.


HOW DOES EZ CO2 WORK?
EZ CO2 houses a non-fruiting mycelial mass (fungus) and enough organic matter to sustain it for approximately 6-8 months. The fungus works opposite a normal plant: it breathes in oxygen and breathes out carbon dioxide (released 24 hours a day through the breather patch on the bag), essentially creating a natural, self-sustained, inexpensive CO2 generator. EZ CO2 is odor-free, produces no heat, and is already giving off CO2 as soon as you purchase it, there's nothing to turn on or set up. Simply place the bag of CO2 for your plants in your greenhouse and then leave it alone!

INSTRUCTIONS for CO2 for Your Plants
After purchasing EZ CO2, place it in your growing area (1 EZ CO2 bag is recommended per 4' x 4' area) slightly above plant height. CO2 is heavier than oxygen, and will fall downward onto the plants. That's it! There's no need to refill anything or make any adjustments. DO NOT REMOVE THE BREATHER PATCH ON THE BAG OR OPEN/PUNCTURE THE BAG IN ANY WAY.
After approximately 6-8 months the CO2 production will gradually decrease, and your EZ CO2 will need to be replaced. When you are ready to dispose of your EZ CO2, you may open the bag and dispose of the contents in your compost pile or mix it with soil, and the plastic bag can be recycled.


So far it seems like it's working really well. I opted for these because I'm not in a sealed room so I don't want to use C02 regulators. I figured these bags are better than no Co2 at all and they are pretty cost effective.

Looks the goods might have to get 1 myself 6-8 months of co2 for 35 bucks is good value imo
