Hi guys,
this is my first experience as a grower. I've been reading around here before starting my adventure for quite a while, but the time has come to share my happiness with you all
Notice that I started this project with "cheapness" in mind. I'm struggling to find the cheapest solutions to every problem that might show up in the process.
I recognize I may not get optimal results but I still believe it's worth a try. At least this approach will make me learn the basics of growing and give me the opportunity to learn from my mistakes without wasting a huge amount of resources.
Details:
Strain: Jack47 Auto - a Hybrid between Jack Herer and AK47, 25% Indica, 75% Sativa
Stage: Seedling
Beginning: seeds planted directly in soil on 15/03/2014
Location: Indoor, Homemade Cardboard box 1,40 x 70 x 35 metres.
Medium:
- Germination: Soil (pH 7)
- Veg/Flower: Soil (pH 7) mixed with perlite (yet to be decided)
Pots:
- Germination: 1/2 litre bottle cut in half
- Veg/Flower: 14 litre pots
Light:
- Early Growth: 2x 25w 6500K CFLs + 2x 25w 2700K CFLs
- Vegetative: 5x 25w 6500K CFLs + 3x 25w 2700K CFLs
- Flowering: 5x 25w 2700K CFLs + 3x 25w 6500K CFLs
Aircooled: No cooling at the moment, but I'll add it in a couple of weeks, probably
Room Temp: ranging between 21°C - 25°C
Watering:
- Germination: about 2 times a day as soon as the soil surface dries out
- Veg/Flower: N/A
Ferts: None at the moment
This is it! I'll be using the next post to upload some pictures and ask for advice from the experts around here. This post will be updated as soon as I add/change something in my setup.
Thanks in advance for your help!
