First of all, thank you to the wonderful people that make this site possible and the great resource that it is. This includes the great members as well as staff. Specificly you Xlr8. I was happy but not suprised in the slightest to see you won MOTY. You deserve it ten times over.
All that said, here's a bit about me so that those offering advice can help me the most. I'm a new grower. Iv hade one successful run of big bud. And one of pine apple express auto. And a failed run Big Bang auto. That was my last one. So I'm coming off a loss and could really use a win here. Last time everything seemed fine, but only the tippy top of the buds finished after 14 weeks. I think it was high temp. But they looked great, just didn't finish. Idk. Iv resolved the temp issue. I'm open to all advice. I have no ego on this subject and happily invite the wise people here to educate me. Also, I chose the bloombox because I have more money than time. Including resevoir changes, I spend less than an hour a week dealing with my grows. I'm all about the automation and plug and play. So any advice geared towards time consuming techniques like LST or even misting daily, forget about it. I barley have time to wash my own ass everyday. But this a place to share knowledge so just because I won't personally use it dosent mean somebody else reading won't, so all relevant info is welcome.
Just the facts, ma'am
440 watt HPS and two T5's for flower
125w CFL for veg
DWC system
1/10 HP chiller
6 inch Can Max 435cfm inline fan
11000 BTU portable AC
Auxiliary air pump to supplement stock, and manifold to select veg/flower/both or between pumps.
Blue Cheese cloned from my mother. First attempt with cloning
The girls are currently on week 2 of flower. I cloned 14, and all 14 made it! 12 went through two weeks of veg, and I picked the most even 9 for flower. One was taller than the others, one was all crooked, and one was much smaller. So I tossed those three to get my nine.
Week one was hot because I couldn't get my AC to vent properly. So installed a 6 inch Can Max fan. I put a Y on it that splits to the AC and to the exhaust from the HPS. Man does that thing move air! I don't even need the AC now. It stays plenty cool in there with that fan sucking the heat out. The fan is in my attic. Room temp is 70-75. Interior box temp is 80.
I have a chiller, but a slow leak has increased so shut it down. I'm buying a new one soon. Next time i refill my Co2.
Week two and pistils are showing. I have scrog net in there but its mostly just to help seperate everything as it comes up. I'm training them underneath in a true SCrOG fashion. I plan on defoliation at day 21 and 45 as outlined in other journals iv read here. Theyr at 1000ppm this week. No burn at all. I start co2 next week.
Pics will be up by end of day. Thanks joining!
