Hey guys,
I am new to the forums and love the amount of info and friendly advice on here, so I thought one of the best ways to get to know some of you is to create a journal.
Set up.
This is my first grow in soil and a completely different room(shed). I have run into so many unforseen issues with growing in a shed that I cannot go through all of them, so right now my main concern currently is heat. Winter is fast approaching and temperature control has been a battle since day one but my first crop wasn't bad but it wasn't to my standards.
I am growing in pro mix soil and currently 5 gallon pots for veg. I am currently trying the lst method, I usually topped my plants then scrogged during flower but after a test run I can see lst is the best imo. The fast recovery of the plants is by far faster than the topping method. Now I have 7 girls under florescent lights and once in flower they will be under 2 1000w lights. For veg I am currently just giving them water as I do not really know all that much about the soil, I know it has micro and macro nuits and do not want to burn them(suggestions). I'm not entirely sure how long they have been in veg, from clone to current point I'd say 1.5months. Currently using an industrial space heater with thermostat and have a 720cfm fan for air movement and pulling heat off the b g lights. Couple oscillating fans to keep air moving.
