Hey Everyone,
While a long time partier, I am brand new to the board here and a first time grower as well so could really use everyone's experience as I find my way through my first grow. I am not an overly talkative guy but I need to opine a little on my setup so you can help me better.
Basics:
I have one major concern, odor. Simply put, one whiff of this in the house and she will need to come down. I have her in a discrete place, she won't be found unless she gives herself away, and I don't anticipate problems during veg. However, during the later days of flowering, I am nervous that the carbon filter wont be good enough, especially with this strain. I thought about buying a second in-line fan and carbon scrubber and running it in the room, outside the tent, if the smell cant be contained with the single system.
Please comfort me with tales of how you have seen this work before....
While a long time partier, I am brand new to the board here and a first time grower as well so could really use everyone's experience as I find my way through my first grow. I am not an overly talkative guy but I need to opine a little on my setup so you can help me better.
Basics:
- Indoor Grow
- I wanted to grow a Girl Scout Cookie Gelato cross but it didn't germ so as Thanos would have it, I am growing a Bruce Banner #3, from Sensible Seeds.
- BB#3 is a feminized, sativa dominant hybrid, ~65day flower cycle, susceptible to early CA/MG deficiency, fussy about temp and RH to get max potency/yield (so I read), and stinky
- Equipment: Spyderfarm 2'3"x2'3"x5' tent with 170CFM/m exhaust fan and carbon filter and SF1000W LED w/dimmer (note: the carbon filter is mounted inside the tent and the inline fan outside the tent due to space constraints)
- Environment: As a new grower this is where I am spending my time, trying to learn the tent, exhaust and oscillating fans, and humidifier to control temperature and RH. Averages over past 3 days: Temp/RH: 78.5/65.2%, 77.6/67.7%, 76.8/66.6
- Soil Mix: 3 parts Fox Farm Happy Frog to 1 part washed, coarse Perlite + .5 TBLSP fine dolomite lime. This will mix up to scale
- Containers: Peat Cube to 4" peat pot to 1 gallon fabric pot to 5 gallon fabric pot
- Fertilizers: FoxFarm, Fertiloam Root Stimulator
