I have been growing indoors for almost one year and I love it especially as I have been bed ridden for last 3 months but as im writing this from my hospital bed so a few more weeks and ill back on my feet but I'll be home tomorrow and the medical benefits from my grow has been fantastic.
I have done few things different in this grow as the previous grows I was in partnership with a "person" that I once knew until I packed up all his stuff and showed him the door.....a word from the wise if your going grow do it on your own!
Alright because I got rid of the tight wad I was able to get the lights I wanted to have so I bought 4 x 600w digital cool tubes and my room is 2 meters wide x 3 metres deep and 2.2 metres height.
Fans x 3 and they are 150mm inline fans, I have one on the inlet, two on exhaust and I am also using thermostat controller which is worth it's weight in gold....makes keeping the temp right too easy.
I have 20 plants, 14 of them is a strain I have growing from the start, it is great to smoke and yields in 8 weeks but it is a smaller yielding plant and this will be its second last grow, I have also been given some seeds from my mate which he had for over 20 years and it could be an Australian land race so I'm pretty excited but we will see and I only got 2 seeds to sprout and both look to be female. I have another 2 plants that I have had from the start and this plant is one of the prettiest plants I have ever seen and smokes great but again another low yielding plant so this will it's last grow.
I bought some seeds from Attitude seeds and their service was awesome, will be buying from them again.
Ok we bought Dinafems Blue Hash and Holy Smokes Thunder bud, I bought a couple of others but they died as it was my first time growing from seeds...I'm also about to sprout Barneys farm G13 Haze and Dr Greenthumbs Freedom 35.
Medium: I have traditionally been growing coco/perlite and using a 50/50 mix but this I thought I would try a few different ratios as I have been a lot on here about other peeps success so it is as follows.
For the most part I am using plastic pots except Iam trying out two 20 litre Geopots and one of them is running 100% coco (which is not doing as well as the other one) and the other Geopot is running a 70/30 mix and is doing real well.
I like the 50/50 mix as its difficult to over water and for flushing as I like to be able to give fresh nutes daily.
I was reading an article on here a little while ago and someone recommended lining the pot with weed matt instead of using the Geopots as the cost saving was significant and he was right, I have 7 with no weed matt and 13 with weed matt.
Will post pics of the root systems when it's done, cant wait to see myself.
Nutrients: previously I was using GH organic single part base nutrient and produced some high quality smoke but looking to increase the yeild so with a lot of reading and questions at my local hydro shop I decided to go for the GH three part base nutirent as I know a few growers that are using it but they are using aeroponics or ebb & flow so this will be interesting.
I started to follow the GH nute chart but it does say you can be aggressive as you like so in the veg stage I was using 4 mil per liter on the Floragrow, Micro and the Bloom was 1 mil per litre....also I am using Cali magic 1 mil per litre, GH root treatment (Rapid start) 1/2 mil per litre, GH Silica (Armor Si) 1/2 mil per litre.
So one week ago I put them into flower so lowered the grow to 2 mil per liter and upped the bloom 2.5 per litre and the micro is the same, I have added liquid Kool Bloom 2 mil per litre and did a flush with GH Flora Kleen.
I have been using Sensa spray almost from the start and won't flower without it as I did the tests and it does double my dry weight every time and it makes my flowers look amazing.
Looking forward to the feed back as this forum has been a wealth of information and Iam excited to share and learn some more.
Pics are to come asap once Iam home and a bit more mobile but I'd kill for a bowl right now.
Stay safe and bake daily

@ Musgand im not concerned as he has no idea what Iam doing or not doing now and is not welcome back here, besides I dont want to sound like a hero but if he knows what is good for him he will get on with his life and I will do the same but thanks for your concern.
I think you mentioned using 4 600w lamps, what extra four did you add? Is the heat easily manageable? Cool to hear you're making hash, I just did an extract, on, of all things, my grinder.
Iam using 4 x 600w but as they are adjustable ballasts I have them on 440 atm as iam having trouble with overloading but have a electrician mate coming over today to help me out
I know once I turn up the ballasts the temp will rise but i have ballasts outside the room so that helps dramatically, I am running 3 fans 150mm inline so im running one on the intake and the other 2 on the exhaust and also running a therm control on them so atm no problem with the heat. But we will find out if I have enough ventilation in the next couple of days.
