*this is completely fictional and a figment of my crazy imagination*
My story:
I have always been an up to date kinda guy researching and keeping up to date with all the newest gadgets and chemicals in the world of hydroponics. To be honest I have only witnessed a handful of friends grow in soil, which was pitiful to be honest which has steered me away from soil until now.
The few friends I have that have done soil grows before really had no idea about anything that went along with it. I was always misinformed until I had joined this forum a little while ago. I have been reading and reading and subcool has really enticed me to give it a go.
History:
I have four aeroponic grows under my belt as well as one ebb and flow I helped out with well pretty much set everything up and monitored the entire grow.
Set UP:
I am currently out of state right now, but I have all the supplies aside from a base soil to start mixing. The ingredients to be cooked are as follows:
(1) 50 lb bag of worm castings
(1) 5 lb box of bat guano
(1) 5 lb box of bone meal
(1) 5 lb box of blood meal
(1) 5 lb of rock phosphate
3/4 quarters cup of epson salt
3/4 cup sweet lime
1/2 cup of azomite
I am still hunting around to figure out what to use as a base soil for this mix. Does anyone have any suggestions? I know that subcool uses roots, but I am not sure if the garden stores around where I am have it. If anyone can suggest anything around the city of roses that would suffice it would be greatly appreciated.
Aside from the soil I have acquired two one thousand watt hps lights that have four inch spaces for ventilation. I am going to veg under a 400 watt hps in seven gallon pots and start training and typing after I have either fimmed or topped them a few times. I have done both but not sure which would be better for soil? It is winter though so I am not to worried about the temperature in the room. I have an abundance of ocsilating fans that will be utilized throughout the grow to keep air circulating.
I do have a space heater if needed and am working on picking up a cap timer that monitors the heat so if it drops below seventy the space heater will turn on until about eighty degrees.
The area I have to use is ten feet long and roughly five feet wide, with eight foot ceilings.
Yesterday I ordered some TGA subcool seeds from hempdepot.ca. I just oredered one ten pack of The Void seeds because they looked the most appealing and had a decent looking yield and harvest time.If anyone has any experience or suggestions with these seeds again let me know! I am having them express shipped to another friends address.
The state only allows six plants over a foot by a foot so I plan on creating some trees with a slower turn over rate. If these seeds turn out well I will keep two of them or so for mothers so I can acquire clones when I need them.
Any advice, reps, questions are welcomed
Cheers
