Hey all, Bloo here from Australia, Thought I'd share my first indoor CFL grow, I'll start out by saying I am almost a complete novice at this, I have a little info which I have picked up here and there over the years, but never put it into practice, This little venture is both a test of my skills and also a chance to save some money and grow what I would like to smoke, instead of the lucky dip that it is with buying it, and also to experiment a bit with infusion, But lets get down to business,
What strain is it? Unsure, Its a bit of a bastard strain, acquired from a random bag of outdoor
Is it Indica, Sativa or Hybrid? What percentages? I would lean towards Sativa, As it is coming from an outdoor strain
Is it in Veg or Flower stage?Veg
If in Veg... For how long? 2 months
Indoor or outdoor? Indoor
Soil or Hydro? Hydro 50% perlite 50% vermiculite
Size of light? 40cm 130w CFL tube
Is it aircooled? Has small fan for circulation and body building *flex*
Temp of Room/cab? 20-32 deg c, will be climbing to around 30-38 deg c over the coming months
RH of Room/cab? as above
PH of media or res? on fresh water change 6.8-7, after balancing with nute get it back to between 6.5-6.8
Any Pests ? None that are interested in weed thank god
How often are you watering? Drip feed 24/7
Bucket Size 12 litres
Lights (1) 130w CFL
Nutrients Ionic Grow, Proganics Bloom A + B, Proganics Yield Plus
# of Plants Just the one, For now
Ok, so thats the fun part out of the way.. now for the fun part ;P
I will say before I start posting pics, This system is designed to be compact and easily taken apart, I dont plan on growing constantly, Because,
One - I don't have the room spare for a bigger grow
Two - I live with other people and want to be respectful to them
and Three - I rent, so its good to be able to pack it up easily and not have big containers lying about etc, I'd love to get a stable setup in the near future if I can secure my own house, but we'll take that as it comes, Back to the topic at hand, small setup, by no mean professional or even amateur, this is back yard knock up 'yep she'll do' goodness
Ok, So these are my nutes, Have been working a charm so far, the bloom throws the PH out in the water a bit, but nothing major
Unfortunately, this is the only pic I have of her as a baby, I did have others, but the fact that I had an aquarium light running for the first week kinda makes me wanna keep em private , I can upload em if anyone wants a laugh at my expense
This pic is 16 days in, not doing to much wrong by the looks of it, very healthy and growing stupidly quick
These were taken 9 days later (or 2 days ago ), after I got a bit trim happy
And these last few were taken tonight, Felt like some fresh current pics of the situation were warranted, will get the macro out and take some close ups of growing tips later
And my Light, Just a Light ;P
Well thats it for now peeps, Hope you enjoyed the read
Stay Tuned for more updates
Peace
