Hello all!
Firstly i would like to say that i have never grown cannabis before! so all pointers and tips are Helpfull!
But what i'm hoping to create here is a post where other people who are thinking this could be the hobby for them, but have a few holes between the blank spaces, can find all the answers they need and at the Same time i can learn for my first grow!
So here we go!
My grow has not currently started, but i am in the process of setting up for it!
My main grow chamber is slightly restricted in terms of space, I have Hollowed out an old set of draws, and but it in my wardrobe. (i have lots of wardrobes :3).
The Dimensions of this box are as follows:___
/ /
/____________<95cm>________________/|
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
^ | | |
70cm | | |
| |___________________-________ | |
| / | |
| / | /
| /_ | / 40cm
|/________________________________|/
So its 95Cm Long, 70cm tall and 40cm wide.
Container is a reflective white, and i stuck some shiny side up tinfoil around some of the edges as well. i know its not mylar, but it helps right?
Within this box, i am going to mount (already Ordered) a 450W Grow light.
The growlight is 40cm long 7cm tall and 21cm thick, So should fit perfectly to the roof of the cupboard And distribute light fairly evenly within the container.
For a Growing Medium, (a.k.a - The substance i'm gunna grow my cannabis from, i've decided to go Hydroponic.
Now i know a lot of growers don't recommend growing hydroponically for the first time, but i'm determined to do it as have heard a lot of good reviews about hydroponic growing, and how hard can it be!
So i've ordered a gt205 NFT Grow Tank.
The grow tanks dimensions are 70cm long, 20cm tall, and 39 cm wide!
This grow tank will fit very snuggly in my container, leaving me 20 cm at the end of the container for storing equipment? or other misclanious tasks.
I have also ordered a PH Meter with the solutions to Adjust the Ph of my Tank, as well as a small green desk fan, and a thermometer.
Thermometer shall be mounted on the inside wall of the container, as well as the fan, probably above the 20cm gap on one side of container. I have heard Airflow is important for gaining the most out of your crop!
I am planning on using this type of cannabis seed:
Cream of the Crop Crop Circle Auto | 800 gr/m2, 55 Days Total
So now that we have a better Understanding of The Grow Space that i am working with, Im going to talk myself through the stages of grow that i understand, asking questions along the way to fill in the blanks!
I have bought an auto flowering Indica Dominant Seed.
(Autoflowering means that the light cycle can remain consistent throughout the grow)
(Indica Dominant because i want a fast harvest and short plants)
When i receive my seeds, i want to start the process of germinating them. I was planning on doing this in a saucer with some wet tissue paper until the seeds are showing a centimeter or maybe two of root growth. At which point i am going to insert them into some rockwool cubes. I will be using 5 seeds
QUESTION NUMBER 1 - What is the best conditions for the seed to spend the first -lets say two- Weeks of its life?
Do i need to add any form of nutrient in this early stage of growth? Should i keep the rockwool cube in a propogator? How much light is efficient for the seedlings?
Basically Please clarify, in possible, the process of getting those seeds to nice small MJ plants from a seed in rockwool, to a small plant in a rockwool cube, and mesh basket, with roots that are ready to be used with the NFT Tank
Once i have my little plants, in they're little mesh baskets with a nice web of roots through the rockwool, i want to space my plants out evenly along the tank, leaving each as much room as possible to grow!
Now for my plants to grow and be nice and big and healthy! Im going to need to keep the nutrient solution in my Tank at the right levels.
So as a beginner my questions are!
What Nutrients would you guys Recommend for The Growth and Flowering Stages of growing my crop?
What Should the PPM of my nutrient solution be? (parts per million)
And what should the PH of my solution be? (acidity levels)
ALSO
Looking at the seeds i've bought, it says 55 days from start to finish! Brilliant nice and quick right!!
However At what point for an auto flowering seed should i swap between the two nutrient solutions?!
And how often should i go about changing the nutrient solution? and how is that done?
Once all the above has been answered and seen too! I believe its just a waiting game, making sure they get 18 hours of bright light, followed by 6 hours of solid darkness every day! until around the 55th - 60th day, at which they will be harvested. Not gunna talk about harvesting here though.
Do i have this all figured out correctly?
Final Questions:
-Will the 50cm of grow room be alright?
( would i benefit from LST?)
-What Nutrient soloutions do i use and when? also in what "dosage"?
-How does the Fan actually help my crop? will it strengthen it?
-do seedlings need nutrients?
-If i where to attempt to clone this plant ( despite it being autoflowering) any recomended methods or tools?
-What is the correct temperature to keep inside the box ?
-Correct PH of solution
-Assuming this grow goes pretty well, plants are healthy and kept stress free, nutrients is ballanced, air is right - What kind of yield Approximately can i expect?
Hope this post answers my Questions, and i hope it is usefull to somebody else who has aquired knowledge like myself, but is still missing a few gaps!
Thanks for taking the time to Read!
