Hello everyone,
This is my first grow ever so consider me as green as weed. I'm from Eastern Europe, english is not my native language, so bare with me (sorry for that). I'll try and post imperial and metric but forgive me if sometimes I forget.
After a lot of reading and a lot of changing my mind I decided to grow SSH in a home made tent.
70 * 90 * 170 cm ; 27 * 35 * 67 inches
I bought mylar diamond for it, and I had a old inflatable pool mattress which fit perfectly over mylar.
The carbon filter is also made by me from 2 PVC pipes, 125mm (7") and 75mm (3"), filled with 2 liters of active carbon bought from pet shop. I'll get in-depth if someone ask. The extractor is Soler and Palau TD-100.
The light is the LED panel from Hans ( BonsaiHero ). I don't know if I'm alowed links, so just Google it.
I also bought PH and EC/TDS meters ( Adwa AD12 and Adwa AD31 ), around 90 euros shipped from Hungary. I like them alot. I had a hygrometer and a room fan laying around, so I put them to work.
I didn't bought a complete autopot system, just the "smart valve" because it was cheap and the rest I made from a baby tub, a sheet of plastic cut to size, and 2 ordinary 5 gallon pots (20liters).
The coco was dry and compressed. I prepared a solution of 2 teaspoons of epsom salt to every gallon of spring water, then PH it to 5.9 with electrolyte , and then use it to decompress the coco. After that, I mixed coco with perlite at 65 to 35 ratio, added one tablespoon of dolomite to every gallon of medium, and mixed them all up .
OK, now to the girls. I put the seeds in a moist paper towel for 2 days.
This are the 2 seeds, seconds before potting. First 2 mistakes, the roots are too small and the pots are too big Oh well... Live and learn.
3 days after potting
6days after potting
Pictures taken this morning, 10days into the pots, with the second set of leaves showing
Fed them just PH 5.9 spring water 'till now. Waiting for the seed-leaves to tell me when to start with the nutrients.
Enjoy the ride!
LE: The pictures are blank so I'll post direct links to them. Sorry.
