Welcome all! Happy to be here sharing my first grow in 25yrs. Although I'm licensed for 25 plants, I think my grow setup is going to be a common thing happening here in Canada with the new 4 plants per household legalization. I'm going to put as much info as I can in this journal, comparison and education love details, should be a good ride.
Pertinent Choice Explanations...
I chose Amazon so I could have the stuff quick, have Prime.
I chose a 2in1 tent with the intention of perpetual.
I chose COCO for it's forgiveness in the ability to make fast changes and/or corrections in feeding.
I chose Advanced Nutrients because YouTube seduced me.
I chose the China LEDs for price, knowing I might have to buy more.
I chose cheap ass Ph and TDS meters because my theory was, equipment performance is often related to the user.
I chose Fabric Pots because they are awesome!
I chose Bagseed because online seeds are Stupid expensive.

Catch Up:
On Feb.12 I started ordering stuff.
On Feb.15 I started germination on 5 Bruce Banner seeds that came from a know bag.
On Feb.17 2 Bruce seeds were open and put into peat pods.
On Feb.19 the 2 Bruce broke soil, added 2 more Bruce, 2 My Unknown Bagseeds, 2 Brother's Unknown Bagseeds to germination.
On Feb.20 remaining Bruce germ seeds doing nothing, Brother and My Bagseeds opened and put into peat pods.
On Feb.21 Setup Tent and grow area.
On Feb.24 Transplant 6 peat pods to Solo cups in COCO. All seeds have broke soil.
On Feb.27 Time to get head around Nute Station, Fuggin PH Pen doesn't work, end up using PH paper, Grrrr. Decide on EC method of tracking feeding, mix 1/4 strength nutes(Cal/Grow/Micro/Bloom) to be diluted to desired EC as fed during seedling, Feed at EC 300 and what I think is Ph 6.2.
On Feb.28 Seedlings appear to be doing nothing, feed at EC 350 and Ph 6.2
On Mar.1 In the am, seedlings look lighter in colour, one is twisty, one has transformed into some ramhorn looking thing. Check EC of runoff and it's at 1000. Flushed all 6 till runoff at EC 400. Go over my chosen feeding schedule and info, discover that when diluting my feed EC I did not CalMag the dilution water Grrrr. Decide to mix new feed at near full strength with extra stuff recently aquired.
On Mar.2 Feed at EC 550, runoff at EC 550, woot.
On Mar.3 New BlueLab PH Pen enters the scene! Discover my PH 6.2 is really 6.5. Now aiming for PH 6, adjust my feed to PH 5.9, feed at EC 600, by evening plants look way better.
I will be editing this, far from done, I must sleep now....
