Hey folks, I'd like to start off by stating I am a grower in california and this setup is nothing special, just some personal stuff I've decided to do with the help of having my medcard.
My setup currently exists of:
4- 6500k single fixture t5 lights (these are daisy chained together, and attached to a makeshift fixutre. its pretty ghetto. lol)
1- 3 gallon dwc-(Currently using the lucas formula with GH nutes)
1 air colled 400 wattt hps
First I'll start with the picture of the veg area, obviously, it looks like shit. lol
In the black pot on the left is a bubba kush clone from a friend that was topped and is being lst'd. In the little cups and shotglass are some cuttings that I've taken, beleive it or not, thats how I clone. Nothing but water, and indirect light. No cloning gels, no hormones, just tap water thats been properly ph'd.
The dwc bucket there is my feeble attempt at using the lucas formula. Most of the damage seen is from a week back, when my ph went haywire and fucked it up. For the most part this plant wasn't anything special so it will probably be scrapped in a month. My point of keeping it alive? well thats to keep it alive. This is the first time I've done a dwc/hydro bucket, so I decided to use this one as a tester. I don't want to actually try really growing with it until I have a better understanding of it.
Now moving on to the 400 watt section.
There happens to be a hydro store a few blocks from me, so I checked the website a while back and found a 400 watt hps deal for a kit that had the enclosed ballast sunystem for 135 dollars. I spent 7 bucks on the pro grip light hangers, 5 dollars on the glass used in the hood, and 4 dollars for 2 of the 4 inch duct adapters. Then I purchased a 75 cfm duct boosting fan for the exhaust. At home depot I purchased my duct tubing for 20 dollars for 25 feet.
My grow space is a sliding door closet that measures 4 feet wide, 2 feet deep, and in height I have about 6 1/2 feet of grow space.
Since I upgraded to a 400 watt, I decided to run a scrog this time around and do some expirementing. I ended up using an old guineau pig hutch and some other materials to make, and yeah it looks ghetto but I'm proud of my own ingenuity lol
Both of the plants in the closet are Green crack teen/clones that were purchased 2 days back(their both about 12 inches tall right now). The light is a bit far from them as of right now, but I didn't want it to be too close while they are trying to root in the soil. As for the temperatures and humidty? It is at a consistent area of 76-79 degrees and 35-48% humidity.
So my plan is to veg these 2 green crack clones for 3-4 weeks while I start training them under the screen. then switch to flower, does that sound about right you guys?
I'm open to any feedback/comments/tips/suggestions. Like I said this isn't anything more than a personal grow that I'm slowly expanding, but how does it look so far? Any tips on the dwc, would be greatly appreciated.
thanks for reading.
