Hello everyone! Will get pics up tonight or tmr morning.
After a couple of less than satisfactory grows and a lot of research I decided to adopt a method that I saw on this site and do a 2 liter SOG.
I'm using cut off 2 liters, juice bottles, milk jugs, anything I could get my hands on to start with. Now I'm at all 2liter Pepsi bottles for the most part cut above the label and bottoms painted.
This is not new or original but I could not find a good write up of anyone doing this with T5 floros. My space constraints prevent me from using HID and so I've rigged up the best setup I could.
I'm using 12 T5 HO bulbs (6, two bulb high output ballast). Of those bulbs I have (6) 6500k and (6) 2700k T5HO that all run together.
In those 2 liter bottles I have the beloved Miracle Grow potting soil and MG Perlite. One 2 cu ft bag of potting soil to one 8qt bag of perlite which I believe is about 7:1 soil to perlite ratios.
I have some lovely KMart brand KGro nutes. One reg plant food and one super bloom. Will have to get the npk ratios off them tonight. Also molasses from grocery store and some epsons salt.
Watering every 2-4 days. Nutes every other watering and molasses every watering and epsons salt as needed.
This journal will follow some newly cut clones as I am just learning how to grow from clone and want feedback as well as showing everyone my set up and hopefully spread some info about flowering under T5s.
Room temps currently are about 75-85 and RH between 50-65.
Light cycle is 12/12 for clone and seeds alike.
Moms are under 4 bulb T8 set in a box under my flowering plants that you will see in pics.
They stay under about 14 hr light.
Did I miss anything? I feel like I'm leaving stuff out.
Hope to have some experts follow this journal and give their input where I drop the ball. This would be what I consider my fourth grow but first really with clones and I am far from an expert.
Looking forward to it! Thanks!
