Ok so since i had to trash the previous grow i figured i would start a whole new thread for the second grow. This is White widow from Green House Seed Co. I purchased a stealth grow box from Unique Hydroponics online its the Yield Machine Max with the UfO LED light package. the box's dimensions are 4ft tall by 17.5in wide by 13in deep.
it came with a 180 watt UFO LED that is 60x3.
this is what it looks like assembled
The Reservoir is a 5 gallon storage tub that has been painted black on the outside. it has 9 2in netpots that it holds in the lid. ( I however do not recommend growing all 9 ) In my first grow which was a total fail on my part, i only used 3 out of the 9 slots available. this box would be excellent as a cloner! but for this grow, temporarily ill only be growing one in there so i covered the rest of the holes with tin foil to also help reflect the light.
In less than a week I will be changing the entire system up.
Just got paid and ordered a whole new setup and it will arrive in less than a week. so I will describe what i bought and once it gets here ill update with pics of the whole setup but until then ill keep posted with what i have growing in the box.
the new setup includes:
1- Grow tent Dimensions 4ft x 4ft x 6.5ft
2- 4in vent fan with carbon filter for the grow tent it recycles the rooms air every .14minutes according to the dimensions of the room and the rate of the fan.
3. 4 Black Widow Grow Buckets from ModularHydro.com (3.5 gallon bucket with 6in netpot lid, drain and fill spouts with plugs, extraction syringe for checking ppm ph and adding nutes, and new Air Induction Technology to increase the air bubbles inside the bucket essentially putting the roots in a cloud of air. and all required air pumps and tubing.
4. Ordered a marshydro 300 watt full spectrum 9 band UFO LED light, so i will be using both UFO LED lights for this grow once it arrives. that will be a total of 480 watts UFO LED lighting.
5. And last but not least Im using CALMAG+ and General Hydroponics 3 part series FLORAMICRO, FLORASGRO, FLORABLOOM.
I germinated 1 white widow seed using the paper towel method, placing the container with vented lid on my cable box on 5/30/2015 at 5pm. On 6/01/2015 the seed was transplanted to rockwool cube and placed inside the grow box. the base ppm of my water is 100 from bottled RO water. I added 5ml of CALMAG+ to 2.5 gallons of water, PH was 5.7
Seedling sprouted today 6/04/2015 around 1pm.
one of the Cotyledons was pulled off as the seed emerged through the rockwoll the seed shell was still holding onto it. so it only has one of those now and another small leaf already growing inside. I added nutes to the water started with 1.5ml of each nutrient. the ppm now is 357 so im going to add 1ml of each nutrient more to try and bring it to the 400-500ppm range. ill post later when i check again and post the results afterward.
Once i get the shipping info for the items I will germ more white widow seeds .
