Hey All, welcome to my first proper grow attempt. After years of lurking various forums and gleaming knowledge, i've decided to see how I go. I'll try to be as in depth as I can, and hopefully if you have advice and criticisms it'l help us be on the same page.
SETUP
box
I've constructed a box out of wood with a 70x70cm base and a height of 170cm. I have started my grow before painting/lining the inside white but I will soon.
It has a passive air intake at the bottom to let air flow in, and a 150mm inline fan with a rate of moving 240 cubic metres of air/hour attached to a 4 inch/300mm carbon filter for extake. After taking the photos i've added a 30cm fan inside to push air around too.
For lighting, I have a 400W Ballast and light, with a SOLARMAX 400W with a 95,000 lumen output. The light shade ended up being a perfect fit in the box, I have it suspended on hooks with rope ratchets to adjust.
seeds
I got my seeds from SeedSupreme and chose Auto LSD-25 and Auto West Coast OG, both by Fast Buds. I chose them for the variety provided between the two, and thought it'd be interesting seeing them mature together. They also have similar heights and lengths of lifespan so they should be compatible.
THE GROW SO FAR
I germinated the seeds in a glass of purified water then transferred to a paper towel in plastic bag, they popped 24hrs later. I put them in dissolving plant starter pots and after 48 hours both had surfaced. West Coast OG had a hard time losing its shell casing and i had to help him out, but it seems to have had no effect. LSD is growing taller, but it is to be expected according to its genetics.
Currently they are mid Day 4, I have placed their dissolvable pots into 15L pots filled with 70% organic soil sourced from an organic gardener friend and 30% cutting mix for drainage. They seem to be happy so far, and their roots had outgrown the 5cm depth of the starter pots after day 2.
They are running on a 18/6 light cycle
LSD-25 is currently 4cm.
West Coast OG is 2.5cm.
The temperature sits around 27 degrees Celsius in the daytime under the lights, which is 60cm from the plants.
I appreciate all advise! Thanks for visiting and have a nice day
