Hey guys, I have been reading up for the past 1-2 months now. Ill let you all be the judge of how much I've learned. Be honest, harsh answeres are also appreciated as long as they make a good point.
OK
I want to set up a grow area to grow 10 White widow babys. I have a 6x4x8 area... Since i have the space to make them grow pretty long I was thinking of Flowering them once they were 2.5-3 Feet(76-91cm) tall. This way I max them out and take advantage of my space.
This is what I had in mind. Growing in Soilless mix.
Equipment:
- 1 600W HPS Bulb/ Complete system with ballast and hood
- 1 600W MH Bulb/ for veg
- 1 Reverse Osmosis water system
- Inline Fan 200-300 CFM
- Carbon Filter
- 3 Indoor Fans
- 50gal Resevoir
- EC/PH Tester
- 10 Peat Pelletes
(these are the most important)
Wee1-Week3 Seedling
- Using 4 34W (cool) Fluorescent Bulbs for the first 3 weeks.
- 150-250 ppm (low amount of nutrients)
- PH @ 6.2
- Nutrients + Root Stimuliser
- Peat pellets transplant to Soilless mix
- Flush Weekly and raise PPM (amount of nutrients)
Week4-Week12 -> Transplanted to bigger containers (3qt)
- Under 600W MH Bulb
- 328-900 PPM
- PH @ 6.2
- Nutrients are raised 50-70 PPM per week
- Week8 Transplant to 2 Gal Containers (8qt)
- Flush weekly and raise PPM
Week13-Week21 -> Transplant to 5Gal container (20qt) [no more transplanting]
- Under 1 600W HPS light
- 900-1500 PPM (raise nutrient amount)
- PH @ 6.2
- Nutrients raised weekly
- Weekly flush + raising nutrient amount... Last 2 weeks Lowering PPM (nutrient amount) to 0 and last 2 days no water.
This is what i have so far, What do you think about this set up? Any kind of input would be appreciated
Does topping lower the quality of the plant? and would it produce more?
Is a 600W system really enough for 10 plants in a 6x4 area?
Is this a good set up?
What quality am I looking at and yield?
Thanks In Advance... This would be my first grow
