Hi everyone
So I have recently joined the site as I've been coming here to research info for my first grow so I thought I'd share my experience to help others in my position and gain any advice along the way. So if you guys will be patient with me as I'm new to forums and growing that would be great, if I miss anything please let me know and I'll try get it up for you as soon as I can.
So here goes...
I'm growing 9 Critical impact from vision seeds which I chose mainly for the price and the yeilds as I expected to lose some along the way. When I bought my seeds I was given a free seed in a clear bag that I was told was cherry amnesia which I've germinated too. My set up is in the attic which I have put black white sheeting all around and have my pits on gardening trays on the floor boards so I don't ruin the plaster boards on the ceiling, I am running two 600 watt HID omega lights with Euro barn reflectors, with 2 omega 600 watt metal halide bulbs that I plan on swapping out for HPS in flower. I have a speed controlled inline fan and carbon garden carbon filter both rated at 400m3/h for my out take which is directed in ducting to my soffit boards, I also have a 490m3/h voted inline fan for my intake and 1 oscillating fan that I intend on upping to 2 for air movement. I also have a digital thermometer and humistat that I use to track temps and humidity, which I like to keep around 22-28degrees C and 45-65% humidity. I believe that's everything about my set up apart from the obviously being on heavy duty timers 18-6 light schedule which I run 6 at night to 12 the next day to help keep my temps in check.
So I germinated all 10 seeds in a cup of tap water for 24 hours then into a paper towel for 24 hours. I then checked them after the 24 hours in paper towels and they all had nice healthy half inch tap roots, so I planted them in plastic cups with 100% canna coco. And watered with tap water and quarter strength canna start. I followed this watering regime for the next 6 days. One the second Monday so my eighth day I upper the canna start to half strength and added canna rhizotonic at half strength. I also followed this until the next Monday which was day fifteen from seed. On day fifteen I upper the start to full strength and the rhizotonic to full strength and added canna cannazym in at half strength, I also transplanted all 10 plants in to 7.5l pots.. I have continued watering like this every day until now which is day 18 from seed.
I have pictures from day 16 I will post some more up to date tomorrow. I plan on posting everyday with pictures and once a week explaining what I've changed and what I plan on achieving this week.
