Hey all, I've decided to make a grow journal since I have nobody else to share it with around my area! This is my first grow so be kind .. Since I've got OCD real bad this journal will probably be updated every day with tons of pics, hop on and enjoy the ride. I sure am already!
To start things off lets go with the:
Grow Space: It's 19"W x 25"D x 60"H.
Lighting 400Watt MH Ballast with hood, with just a standard MH Bulb from the local agricultural store(next grow will actually buy a horticultural bulb). I Will be using this for my vegging. When comes time to flowering I will be getting a 400W HPS conversion bulb that will run on a MH Ballast, This bulb will actually be a horticultural bulb! (suggestions would be great as to what one to get and where!) Currently the bulb is 18-20" from the canopy.
My Temperatures average 78F. Lights on Temp is usually around 78-80F. With lights off Temp is usually around 74-76F.
My RH averages 45, Generally I'm not sure if this is right or not... but my RH during lights on is right around 40, With lights off my RH goes up to about ~50.
Air Intake: Fresh air intake from outside using a double window fan, 6" ducting running on High when lights are on, Low when lights off (just to maintain fresh air)
Exhaust: 250CFM Inline duct fan above the hood on the 400W MH. This fan is only running while the light is on, and for approx 15min. after the light turns off.
Air movement: I've got a 12" oscillating fan that is running 24/7 with air movement right above the canopy. This fan also acts as part of the Cold Air Intake System.
Soil: Fox Farms Ocean Forest, Fox Farms Light Warrior. Current blend is 1 to 1
Pots: 2# Deep Pots, Space is restricted so this is their home.
Nutes: Fox Farms Grow Big.
And now the girls!
Currently I've got:
1 Pitbull Clone (info on her is here. http://www.gro4me.com/pit_bull.htm ) In no way am I claiming that this strain is the exact as that one, I've recieved this clone from a friend.
2 Hawaiian Clones (supposedly Maui Wowie) one of them has had a very rough life and I will refer to her as Stumpy throughout this journal.
1 Bag seed, I've germinated just for shits and giggles.
Soon to be: 2 Trainwreck clones: I will have these on Sunday! 6-14-2009! Yay!
I Hope I've covered just about everything. In the following posts will be pictures Starting with the grow space, then from begginging to presant day!
Please feel free to post here, with usefull comments, tips and advice. This is my 1st grow and would love the help!
