Hi guys !
I m starting my second journal. I think only few people take time to read entire first posts, so I will jump straight to this grow.
4 x Green Crack (HSO feminized)
4 x Blue Dream (HSO feminized)
Grow space is a closet around 4x2x6ft
Lights : 4 x Toplanet 600w full spectrum (200w actual power draw). Maybe I ll add 1 x Toplanet 300w during flowering but will dépends on if I really need it or not and how much heat it would add to the grow space
I kept Those useful upcoming links cause they helped me a lot when I was looking for a good cheap led and rockwool :
How to Use a Cheap Lux Meter to Increase Yields | Grow Weed Easy
converting lux to par - Reef Central Online Community
Best Par Meter For LED lights
This helped me have better understanding of the importance of measuring PAR and LUX and not just trusting sellers recommandations.
I won't debate again here bout led lights and LUX as anybody as its own opinion but I highly advice anyone open minded and looking for new knowledges to take a look at each of those links
2 Pots :
In my first journal I was advised to put and airstone in my reservoir even if I m not doing DWC. So I Googled for the best solutions.
Pictures of results with absolutely massive roots :
Medium :
Nutrients are Advanced Nutrients line except I ll be using Biocanna Biovega during veg. I ve started at 1/4 dosage for all except piranha, tarantula and voodoo juice at recommended dosage.
Day 6 from seed update :
Automatic Watering timer for now is :
- Each 2 hours during 10min
- Exceptions : watering for 30 mins at 7am and 11pm then no watering between 11.30pm and 7am
My drippers are around 6L per hours which is 1L each 10 mins. I choosed 1L cause it represents mostly half of what a 6 inch cube can take. Then as my cubes are sitting on slabs, I guess the slab tend to absorb humidity from the cube helped with earth attraction. So I thought the cubes dry quicker than if they were alone. When I check them they never seem very moist. For the moment it looks OK 80% of the girls have sprouted and look great . I'll adjust as time goes by.
Only 2 out of 4 green crack have sprouted. I ve tried to check the other two seeds. They look OK but just maybe slower. Too avoid risks of loosing time, I ve planted 2 other seeds in two little rockwool starter cubes so that i can use them if the others don't make it. This grow will be a lot about good management of timing and trying to keep everything going amazing!
EDIT: Upgraded drip system :
