Greetings everyone, Jah New Garden here. Just started my first legal grow here in Washington, D.C. and wanted to start my first journal. Looking forward to your feedback!
My Setup:
I'm growing in a small hidden storage room built into my den, deep water culture hydroponics grow using rock wool and air stones through a compressor hose system. I have a couple of friends well versed in growing who have helped me set up my grow and I am following their advice for most of the choices that have been made regarding the grow. They have recommended Skunk Labs Hydroponics for nutrient scheduling and this is what I'm using. (Schedule provided below)
Strains: So I'm not entirely sure what strains I might have actually popped, my friend studying abroad in Amsterdam brought back some seeds from a seedery there over Christmas via a bag of rolling tobacco and as a result the 3 strains of seeds he bought were mixed up. It could be any of these 3 strains he purchased: Jacky White, Durga Mata, and Delahaze (Kind of a bummer but next time I'll be sure the seeds are separate so I know exactly what I'm growing). I do know that all 3 strains are an Indica / Sativa hybrid.
My grow currently has 2 plants in their first week of their vegetation nutrient schedule and 2 seedlings I just transplanted into small rock wool cubes that just popped. I'm going to keep it to 4 plants for the first grow as I feel out the amount of space the room has to offer. The 2 older plants are in 5 gallon buckets and will later be moved into 7 gallon buckets. For lighting I'm using a Diamond XML 350 LED with specs as follows: 10 x 10w USA Made Cree XML LEDâ€s, 144 x 3w High Output LEDâ€s (single chip), Total Coverage 4.5′ x 4.5′, Core Coverage 4′ x 4′. (Pictured below)
I have 2 fans setup in the room for air circulation along with one humidifier. I've been successful in keeping the room temped between 73-79 degrees with an average humidity of 50%. I am currently not using any reflective material in the room but am thinking to add this down the line. After I've been nuting the water I PH it down to 5.5 per my friend's guidance. At the current veg stage I replace the water in the bucket (1 gallon) once a week with the new nutrient mix for that week based on my Skunk Labs schedule provided below (using distilled water). For veg weeks 1-3 I am giving the plants 1 spritz a day of "Vital Boost". I have had no issues with pests to date but today I've noticed some little redish brown dots on the leaves of the smaller of the 2 plants, read this could be from over ferting or water PH and was wondering if anyone had some insight based on my photo.
(plant with small redish brown dots and slight minor discoloration mostly towards tip of leaves)
