Hello everyone
This isn't going to be too wordy but I've recently fallen in love with horticulture and thought why not keep a diary of my first grow, nothing too fancy I'm just starting with 1 small plant mixed in with some ACTUAL Vegetables! (Pear Drop Cherry Tomatoes & Sweet Peppers) I wouldn't call it a micro grow but it's a lot smaller than your average set-up, this is what you might call a practice run before I get 4 plants on the go ... here's a quick break down of the specs...
Hardware
0.75 x 0.75 x 1M Bud Box Pro tent in White
Mars Hydro Eco 49 LED on a manual timer (Supposed to replace a 200w HPS however I will be upgrading to a Maxibright 200w LED at some point)
4" TT pro fan for Extraction moves up to 187M2 & Varispeed manual fan controller (Upgrading to a better quality fan & SMS controller with temperature probe at some point)
4" Passive intake (made larger than normal due to the small area and large fan, also covered to prevent pests)
Rhino Pro 100/300mm Carbon Filter
4" Black combi ducting which feeds outside
Agro lab Temperature and humidity sensor
Media
I decided to go with a soil media as all of the medicine I grow will be for myself so flavour, quality and terpenes mean more to me than weight
0.5L"ish" Seedling pots - 75% BioBizz light mix 25% Canna Coco Professional for added drainage
I will only be re-potting once into 2.5L"ish" Fabric pots 75% BioBizz All Mix 25% Canna Professional Coco
Nutrients
Going to stick with the BioBizz range of organic liquid nutrients including Grow, Bloom, Root Juice, Cal-Mag, PH down & Top Max apart from using some Plant Magic Silicon, some Root it First Feed, some Neutralise to remove the chlorine and chloramine from my tap water & Flawless Flush at the end.
The plan is after a short veg flip early and train hard to keep that beautiful girl nice and low, height is going to be my major problem with this run and even though the Mars Hydro doesn't put off LOADS of heat I will still need to watch my temperatures so my lady doesn't BURN!!
Today is what I'm classing as day 1 so wish my little Cherry Gar See-Ya girl a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!.. let's just hope I don't make too many stoned mistakes.
(I have some more seeds en-route to be safe)
Temperatures - Day - 24-27C
Night - 19-22C
RH in tent - 50 %
RH in propagator 80-100%
Current Light schedule - 18/6
I can't think of anything else to include in regards to specs but if I've missed anything off or if you have any questions or comments then get involved as I'd love some input and advice!!!
In the Meantime everyone I'm going for a smoke!! Stay High, Stay Happy and keep Growing!!!
PEACE!!!!
