Hello fellow growers! Recently for my 32nd birthday I purchased my first proper grow show tent, lights and equipment. I am super excited to finally be able to grow Cannabis in a controlled environment with good equipment. I played around with outdoor growing in the past battling poor northern British Columbia coastal weather, bugs, deer, and strict parents who destroyed my plants that I would try to sneak into their greenhouse. This has been a long time coming, and because of the state of the world with the COVID-19 lock down I have a lot of time to finally dedicate myself to this project.
So what strain is it? Good question. I was told the seeds are from the the interior of BC from a grower who developed his own kind to his liking. It was given the name Teacup? I myself have never heard of it, and I can not find anything online about it. One thing I do know is that the clone I was gifted is a Healthy Rockstar cutting from a hydroponic store up the road, and HAZE was scribbled onto the red solo cups I received the mystery Teacup seedlings in.
Is it Indica, Sativa or Hybrid? What percentages? More questions then answers here.
As of today my plants are 2.5 weeks old in the vegetative stage. I have been low stress training the Rockstar Clone, and today I tied down the two other plants.
So now that I am caught up on the back story, I will elaborate a little more on my grow tent and equipment. My grow tent is a three chamber 36''x24''x53''h Growneer Tent. The main chamber is 24''x 24'' x 53''. The other two chambers are smaller more better suited for seedlings, clones, and may be a small mother or vegetative chamber. My light is a full spectrum LED 600 Watt Mar Hydro TS. It has an aluminum housing with no cooling fan. My exhaust system is a 4'' topolite inline with a carbon filter, a generic fan speed controller, paired with a Growneer LCD screen temperature controller set to keep things between 68F and 80F for now. Inside I am also running two 6 inch clip fans. One for the canopy, and one to run above the Led light to help it stay cooler. To measure humidity I have a generic no name temperature/hygrometer that came with the ventilation system. My humidity says around 40-45 percent. Mid forties to low forties after a watering, but it generally stays around 40 percent.
Too keep things simple for this first run I am using a generic Miracle grow potting mix with a moisture control feature. The only nutrients I have at the moment is a all purpose Miracle grow liquid fertilizer mixed with a 18l of purified water from the store to hold things over until I purchase some good stuff, after that it will be used for my house plants. In between feeding I have been using bottled water. I do not trust tap water, and I only water once every 3 days or so, I keep a watchful eye on my soil dampness and that determines my watering.
I am yet to purchase any kind of ph tester, eventually down the road I may. As for now I am very careful, Vigilance is key! I like to watch my plants very closely for any signs of stress, nute burn, and pests.
My plants are reaching the 3 week mark on Thursday, and I am contemplating on Switching them to 12 and 12 then.
Any pro input or pointers are welcome I am stoked to be able to share my experience and learn from some seasoned growers.
Cheers happy growing.
