So this is my very first grow. My mother grows, but she is a bit more traditional and just uses soil and some florescent bulbs nothing special. I decided to one up her and went out to spend a few hundred bucks and got my supplies.
I am doing a K.I.S.S. method on my nutes so any advice would help me lots.
Equipment:
Sunburst 400W HPS/MH Lighting. MH for Veg, HPS for Flower
Custom Ebb and Flow Setup
General Hydroponics Maxigrow for Veg, Maxibloom for Flower.
I am currently germinating some seeds I got from a friend (as a test, I ordered some real ones already) as a test. After germination I will put in rockwool and place under lamp. After the roots pop from the rockwool I will transplant into some coco-loco.
Veg will be 18-6 from 6AM-12AM, Flower 12-12
Watering times will be 4 times a day as I was told this coco mixture retains water fairly well. Once at 5:45AM, 11:45AM, 5:45PM and at 11:45PM.
Maxigrow is currently mixed at 1tsp per Gal in a 12Gal res. Maybe that is too strong but I will watch plant and adjust as needed. PH is kept around 5.5 as much as possible. Will prob flush res every other week not really sure on that, need to keep reading.
Looking forward to having people from this great community help me out as I learn!
PICS! Sorry for the sideways image.
