New medical grower

[Amiro]

Hi all, just started growing 1 week now and wow it is a lot of reading out there!!! LOL but it seems to pay off as I got the plant in the pot and about 3 inch tall already.
Growing indoor in a tent is new to me and being a bit of techno freak I got this thing automate pretty good!!!LOL
Right now only got 2 plant of CB Dutch Treat Fem. This thing is fast growing it got me by surprise.
Anyway I will look at the journal part of the forum maybe start one myself and since I’m new at this feedback for experience grower do help a lot.

Photo taken a few days ago 5 days after I put the seeds in water!

Welcome aboard

A journal is yer best bet for sure

I've grown 3 of the CB Dutch Treats, great smoke and med

Good luck

 

[Amiro]

Thanks!! Got the journal started!

 

[Amiro]

How tall did your CB Dutch Treat get at harvest time?

 

[Chris Scorpio]

I'd say 4' or so, was pushing the limits of my tent then with my hps light

 

[Amiro]

Ya thats what I’m afraid of, I got 2 in there 3x3x6 and with the light hanging, did you go the full 9 to 10 weeks to harvest.

 

[Chris Scorpio]

You will be fine with two in there
Don't remember the time, but probably about that

What light do you have

 

[Amiro]

1000w led picked up at Amazon 12.1 x 8.2 x 2.4 weight 5.2lbs
100 leds at 10w each full spectrum

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Probably like 300w at the wall, should be fine for that space

 

[Amiro]

With LED it’s hard to know for sure and it gives just enough heat out to keep it at a pretty good level, I know it draws 101.85w at 120.82v for 0.84Amps so it is a bit easier on the light bill!! LOL
The De-Humidifier draws 631w
Fans draws 33w for 2 of them
Exhaust fan .52 amps

Nutes??

Right now I used a Pro-Mix organic soil and I have not put any Nutes in yet, it was recommended after the 3rd week but I have the FoxFarm Big Bloom, Grow Big, Tiger Bloom
The tent temp is at 77deg at 66% humidity with the change I made in the basement room

 

[Amiro]

The room the tent is in is at 74deg with 49% humidity using a de-humidifier on an automatic Sonoff relay with humidity sensor, it seems to work good right now at that level.
The tent exhaust Is. Set. At 5min every 30min to keep levels down

 

[Chris Scorpio]

I started with fox farm nutes

Keep em below half strength and you'll be dialed

 

[Amiro]

I did read that somewhere the half strength but how often did you put it in?

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Been awhile since I did soil, I'd say about every other water
Meaning
Nutes monday
Water Wednesday
Nutes Friday

But don't over water, that's a big thing too, especially when they are young

 

[Mr. Magoo]

I use foxfarm and use them every other watering. And I don’t water till the pots feel light when I pick them up. I also use 1/2 strength.

 

[Amiro]

1 week in the soil!!

Nice job! Everythings looking good man. Ima tag along. I use air pots too and they are pretty awesome. They dry out fast but def improve the plant growth in my opinion. Its just easy to over water them when they are small. Have you thought about starting them in solo cups? Thats what im currently doing.
