Hi all!
Just started growing recently and wanted to keep a journal of it and maybe get some help when the need arises!
I had started another journal for this grow but it was kinda sloppy and I wanted it to be cleaned up!
Grow equipment/enviroment:
Box: 2009 supercloset deluxe. 24" x 36" x 72" ( 400watt HPS and dwc hydro model). I gave the light to the grow shop near me.
Fun fact: the closet was for $200 on craigslist.
The box fits perfectly with 0 room to spare between the doors. The space going left to right is the same after doing some work inside the closet. I really lucked out in that respect!!
Lights: 3x hlg100 V2 on a custom 3/4" PC rack. 2@3k & 1@4k timer on loose 17/7 or 12/12 when the time comes.
Fun fact: I made the rack to big about 3 times!! ****! The lights have to be as close together as possible to move smoothly in the closet!

Ventilation: 2x 4" ac infinity inline fans. One for intake and one for exhaust. The intake is pulling air from underneath the house, through 4 pre filters, then a ~hepa filter, before it sends air into the bottom of the cabinet. The exhaust is pulling air through a carbon filter, above the lights and out of the cabinet.
Both have a muffler on the open end and the noise levels even at max are very tolerable! Same noise level as my desktop pc.
Still some improvements to be made with this.

Pots: autopot 4 pot 'easy to grow' system, 3.9 gal (partially filled), with 16 gallon res, that sits on the air filter box, outside the cabinet.
Medium: coco

Nutes: dynagro mostly but I am wondering what would be a good complement to dynagro's 'grow', for flowering stages. Also, I have been trying to follow dynagro's feeding schedual for recirculating hydro and it seems good so far.

Water: SJ tap water @250ppm, r/o'ed to 22ppm. Ph'ed to 5.7 from now on as I only hear of it rising in the coco, so, I figure start at the low end of the spectrum!
Plants: gg#4, sherbert, napaili pink, strawberry cheese cake, (all from dark heart nursery), and forbidden fruit, from harborside collective (unmarked in small pot).
Day 9 (today)

Everyone is welcome to post here about anything. If it's okay by riu, it's okay by me!
Any help, tips, advice and etc. Always welcome and appreciated!!
P.s. just turned on the autopot system today with 550ppm nutes 570ppm total.
I thought they were overwatered on the bottoms (under watered on top), and I wanted to see if the autopot agreed. It did not and now the plants have more water on the bottom.
No real response from the autopot drenching, which I think is okay, I was (and still am) worried the autopot may drowned them!
