Welcome everyone to my new journal, lets kick things off with the new setup shall we.
I have decided after my last grow that this time I am going to run just 1 strain and in a MUCH lower maintenance system. I learned in my 1st grow (DWC and Soil) that whilst I'm 'ok' at hydro I need something with a more stable reservoir than a single 15L res with 0% margin for error. For this reason I will be running a Wilma which has a significantly larger res and running it with coco to give myself a bit of wiggle room if I fuck something up .
So here we go:
What strain is it? Auto Colorado Cookies by Dutch Passion described as an Indica dominant hybrid.
What stage of growth is it? Built the room and put the seeds in water today.
Indoor or outdoor? Indoor - 3' x 3' x 6' Secret Jardin tent.
Soil or Hydro? Hydro:
-Wilma Large System with 4 x 18L Pots
-Added a large airstone to the Wilma res (always on).
-Canna Professional Plus Coco (no added perlite etc)
-Great White Mycorrhizae mixed into coco @ 1 x scoop per 18L pot
Light? Advanced Platinum LED P450. (I have more lights I can add if I feel I need to include more)
Temp of Room? 21-23°c - its so easy to maintain temps when not growing in a cold loft
RH of Room? 40-60% (I have a small dehumidifier I can add come flowering time)
PH of media or res? 5.8 (I generally plan to let it move around between 5.6 and 6.0, always adjusting back to 5.8)
Any Pests ? None (Woohoo
)
How often are you watering? To begin with once per day, will adjust to 2-3 as plants grow larger.
Type of ferts used? Ok so I got a whole collection of nutes and additives now, but for this grow I plan to be using:
Great White Mycorrhizae 1 scoop in every new res.
Ionic CalMag
H&G Drip Clean
H&G Roots excelurator
Blackstrap Mollasses (to feed GWM)
PH Down
Liquid Silicone (as PH Up)
Pro XL Veg A&B
Ionic Coco Bloom
Pro XL Quick Boost
Pro XL Flora Exploder
And I have shit loads more lying around that may end up getting used too we'll see I guess.
Air Circulation/Venting? RVK 6" fan (moves a lot of air, 700+cfm if I remember correctly) and a 6" Rhino Pro carbon filter (the big one) I also have 2 small cheap carbon filters setup on air intakes to keep any nasties out and keep my fans clean. I have the main fan and filter outside the grow tent, in a tent of their own sealed up for noise reduction. I also have a small 4" RVK fan for fresh air intake.
All this I guess I better post a picture eh...
The tent all ready and awaiting some seedlings:
The seeds taking a dip getting ready to pop:
I'm sure I've missed out loads, but for now this will have to do its been a long day getting set up, time for a smoke. I will update with more news and pictures tomorrow I'm sure.
In the mean time I welcome all friends, visitors, questions, answers, tips, insults and anything else you can come up with. Pull up a seat for the journey and hopefully we can all learn along the way.
Have a great day everyone.
