Where:
Indoors (stealth)
What:
DIY grow tent (from some left over aluminium tubing, plus new mylar film)
Size of tent - 88cm x 66cm x 120cm high (2ft 11in x 2ft 2in x 3ft 11in high)
Homemade potting mix - coco coir, vermiculite, perlite, compost, vermicastings, blood meal, rock minerals - all cooked outside in a black garbage bin for 1 month. Seedlings have been started in coco, vermiculite and perlite only. Will transplant to potting mix after 2-3 weeks.
300W Marso Hydro LED (mixed spectrum)
Why:
My girlfriend has been sick for a long time (+10 years) so we're trying various MJ treatments. Have an outdoors grow which will obviously flower, and be used for vaping, oil, edibles, etc, but wanted to try juicing as well as I've heard amazing things. By growing indoors, I'm hoping to have a constant supply of fresh leaves for a few juices each week. These plants won't be flowering.
Strains:
2 x CBD Blue Shark Fem
1 x CBD Critical Cure Fem
1 x Strain Hunters Money Maker Fem (cloned from outdoor plant)
These are mainly indica dominant, low THC/high CBD, with the exception of the Money Maker. This has been included because the mother is growing really nicely outdoors, and producing a lot of leaves.
Lighting cycle:
12 on / 5.5 off / 1 on /5.5 off
The tent:
Accidental pin hole camera (covered by zipper when tent is closed - so no light leaking out):
Money Maker mother:
I think that my biggest problem is going to be temperature. The tent is in my garage, which was 80 deg F yesterday (and summer has only just begun). Inside the tent was 90. Have switched over to having the lights on at night for the 12hr period, to help with the temps, as well as stealth. The fans (1 x oscillating and 2 x computer fans), along with the LED fans make it too loud to have on when people might visit unexpectedly.
And I'm looking at adding either another computer fan, or maybe a bathroom exhaust fan to help bring down the temps.
