In this grow - I am starting from (basically) free seed that I received as promotions. I have them, so I figured I might as well use them. So this grow will start from seed - and progress all the way to harvest.
Here are the vital stats:
Germination Station
Seeds were placed into Rapid Rooters on May 9, 2013.
Rapid Rooter Germination Tray
Rapid Rooter Plugs
Seedling Heat Mat
Digital Thermostat For Heat Mat
Indoor Grow
Basement of single family home.
Ambient temperatures 60 to 66 F – Grow Room averages 72 F
Relative humidity depends on the time of year – been running right at 70 to 80 recently. Grow Room averages 50 to 60% RH.
Grow Room is a separate room in the basement.
Secret Jardin DarkRoom II Pro 120 - 48 x 48 x 80 Inches
Heavy Duty Dehumidifier
1000W GrowMedic Ballast
Sun Master Blockbuster Air Cooled Reflector = 6 inch
ActiveAir Charcoal Filter / 440CFM Fan Combination
Home made RDWC System – holds up to eight plants in 6” Net Pots
ActiveAqua Chiller, refrigeration unit 1/4 HP
Grow Stone planting media
Nutrients, Additives, and Amendments
The major change in this area is that I am going to be using Blue Planet Nutrients this time through. Historically, I have used GH, and most recently I have been using Advanced Nutrients.
I will post my intended usage information later.
Instruments and Meters
CO2 Equipment
Seed Strains
Multiple strains – mostly free seeds. I paid for the Bay 11 and the Reserva Privada Seeds. All seeds are feminized.
Obviously, I have way more seeds that I am starting than I could ever use in an 8 bucket DWC system. I typically start many more plants from seeds than I want, this allows me the option of picking the best plants for the veg tent. Sometimes, even when seeds germinate... they just aren't healthy.
If you have one of these seed varieities that you have grown before and particularly liked or disliked - please post up and let me know. It could make the difference when it comes time to cull.
