Okay so I just read the “how to make a grow” journal link and I’m answering everything in the order it asks for, so if I miss anything please let me know so I can get the best help.
# of plants - 2
Strain - Silver Haze Auto
Indica, Sativa, hybrid? - purchased from msnl and they do not specify. Although I’m guessing it is a sativa/sativa dominant.
Veg or Flower? - Both veg. Both were planted on June 4th 2020. Tomorrow will be 2 weeks since I planted them in the soil after already doing the germination process of 12 hours in water and 48 in the paper towel and sandwich bag.
Soil or Hydro? - Soil
Soil Mix - FFOF
Pot Size - 3 gallons for both
Light size - currently under cheap Yintatech 600W (110 actual watts). Hoping this is enough for two plants at least till early/mid veg until I can transfer them to the 4x4. This light will be changing when they go to the 4x4. I have a maxsisun (290 actual watt) led that I’m also hoping will be enough for the two of them. I may get another
Light Schedule - 18/6 always
A/C - yes I have an AC window unit in between both of my tents in my spare bedroom. It keeps it cold set on low. Tents stay cool.
Temp - 75 F — 80 F
Rh - 59%
Ph of media - 6.6
Pests - not yet
How often I water - I’ve watered lightly 2 times after planting not including the initial dampening of the soil. When I water I also don’t get all of the soil wet. Only get the area a couple inches out from the stem, wait up until it’s had a few hours or more of dry time, then I water again. Yes I PH the water between 6.5-6.9 Also wanted to mention that since I don’t use RO water or even distilled. I let my tap water sit in jugs for about 2-3 days before watering. Then I add any ph balance or nutes. Nutes first then Ph. Saying that Incase it’s bad for the plants.
Types of fertilizers and strengths - fox farms big bloom, tiger bloom And grow big. I purchased cal mag but don’t know if I should use it. I am not feeding now, they are in what I believe to be nutritious soil and I don’t want to burn them. Will start at 1/4 strength.
Like I mentioned before. This is my second grow now and I really wanted to do a journal, but ended up waiting a little too long to germinate my new seeds I bought. I wanted to plant them so their harvest would be ready by the time I ran out of the last one. Lol. Maybe one day I’ll get there.
Equipment:
1- 2x4x5 grow tent
1- 4x4x7 grow tent
1- cheap amazon “600W” (110aw) LED
1- less cheap “1500W” (290aw) maxsisun LED
2- carbon filters.
2- extraction fans 150cfm and 440cfm with dials
1 - ac unit
1 - dehumidifier
1- humidifier
2 - oscillating fans
1 - tower ac fan
1 - trellis I haven’t the slightest clue how to use
And that’s about all in my grow tents. I have other miscellaneous things such as harvest equipment, droppers, ph meters, TDS and EC meters, outlet timers. I have enough to make a lil somethin happen I’m hoping. If something I’m doing or using is wrong please please let me know so I can correct it. Thank you for your time
And I’m only able to attach files so I just did the inside of the current grow.
