QuickSmoke Hydro First Grow 2023

[Quicksmoke]

This is my first grow and I’m starting my journal from the absolute beginning.
I’m still in the process of getting my stuff around for my setup (I’ve been working overnights 7-12’s) for the path month. My seeds have finally came in however!!!!!
I have also created the outer shell for my DIY carbon Charcoal Filter. I’m an insulator by trade and wanted to see if I could accomplish a build of one. Don’t mind the sticker on the car. It’s my new work beater and I haven’t had the energy to get the sticker off (…I keep forgetting lol)

Welcome Quicksmoke Best of luck on the new venture! Nice genetics!

Did you source the carbon for the filter yet? I'd like to find a good source.

Nice start to your grow journal @Quicksmoke

Tell me a little about your plans? Will you be doing DWC or SIP for your first grow?
What every you decide, let's make this a big success.

Have your received your light and tent yet?

With your current work schedule you may want to start out with a SIP grow, DWC may require more time then you have?

Stay safe, and grow well my friend,

No I didn’t but now I need to!!! I had a delay in putting it all together (life/ being a father) lol.
When I finally did put her in the tent (may 7th) she had sprouted.
Now she is entering pre flower. IT ALREADY STINKSSSS sooo good!. I really need to find a good source as well. (I wanted to find an affordable source was my biggest setback)

I will be updating y’all the moment I get home……it’s been a busy 2 months, but I am on track and she is looking amazing.
I just have some questions in regards to “pruning or LST/ HST”
I’m sadly on a lay off and life has never been better to be honest! I have had time to get on this idea of mine and I feel like it’s better than expected given the materials (I specifically chose to prove, that I may be able to grow decent grade medicine at an affordable budget that most could accomplish).
The tent was a “green house” I picked up on Craigslist- $45
My light- $60 (eBay)
- Air pump and hoses $23 (ebay)
-Amazon list ( Mylar sheets $5, rock wool cubes $6-$8 bucks, digital humidistat $6)
-Walmart ( $5 usb c fans x2, light ize tensioning clips for easy light manipulation $19, two water stones (I forgot the price)
- Salvaged:
carbon filter shell from work
Cooler to sanitize and use a vessel for my nutritients.
