Hello and 
to my first journal which also happens to be my first organic grow. Ive grown in perlite/vermiculite hempys for about 2 yrs but have decided to go organic.
I recently moved from the midwest to the beautiful northwest and am living in an RV so space is limited to the shower (54in X 23in X 70in) which will be turned into a grow tent using pandafilm for veg/flower for the time being then i plan to build a small tent (36in X 24in X 32in) to fit on the dash for cloning/vegging in the next month or 2.
Due to a much higher chiropractor bill than i was expecting i wasnt able to get my soil mix so i currently have 8 seedlings in solo cups of earthgro organic potting soil from walmart.
I plan to use the following soil mix 6 parts FFOF X 2 parts Perlite X 2 parts EWC and Powdered Dolomite Lime @ 2 tablespoons per gallon or 1 cup per cubic foot of the mix. This is a mix i found on another site so if anyone has anything to add or take away from that for any reason id be glad to hear it but the FFOF is what i will be using for sure.
Lighting will be an air cooled 600 watt hps for veg and bloom for the time being but the veg lighting could change once i get the 2nd tent built. Currently im using a 150 watt hps all in one light till i get the 600w the 150 will go in the small tent at that point
This is where things get difficult for me cuz ive never worried about it before. Im going to use a 4in Hurricane inline fan with 4X8 phresh filter and 4in phresh duct silencer which im hoping will control heat and odor issues. My question here is will that be enough to pull in fresh air thru the air cooled hood down to the floor level via ducting and then thru the filter to exhaust out of the top of the tent or will i need a 2nd fan for that to work. I will have 2X 6 inch clip fans for circulation inside also.
Since this is an existing shower there wont really be any structure to build ill be taping the pandafilm to the walls of the shower and use the adjustable shower curtain rods at the top and front of the shower for support so the front and top are my only options for intake and exhaust. Here are pics of the space
The cups at the bottom of the shower contain seeds which i believe to be 3 Purple Kush on the left, 3 Super Skunk on the right and 2 Purple Power front and center. I say "believe to be" because i did not order them myself from a seed bank. The PK and PP came from a friend of a friend in B.C. The PK came as about 20 seeds in a baggie corner which i have grown for 2 yrs now and and the PP I did receive in a plastic tube with cotton inside and had 10 seeds which ive also been growing for 2 yrs. Both resemble write ups and pics ive seen online regarding the strains so i think theyre legit. The SS i got a clone from a lifetime friend of my dad and it hermied on me so i got a buncha seeds which ive used a couple times and they turned out great.
OK so theres the rundown lets get on with the show and PLEASE post any questions, concerns or suggestions you have this is my first time with organics and a tent with climate/odor control so i know im gonna run into unforseen issues because things just never go as planned
9-8-12) Dropped 2PP, 3PK, and 3PP seeds into shot glasses of tap water
9-10-12) All beans popped so planted each in a pre wetted party cup of earthgro potting soil from walmart
cups were marked PP1,PP2,PK1,PK2,PK3,SS1,SS2,SS3 then put in tub under 150w hps on 24/0 light cycle
9-12-12) morning PP2 was peekin out of the dirt by early afternoon SS3 peeked out to join the party late evening SS1 and SS2 joined the party too.
This morning i took the following pics to show where were at for the start of our journey
this is PP2 after shedding her shell
3 SS babies
OK there we are Ill be getting my soil mix Sunday or Monday that will go into 3 gal smart pots for my ladies to live in and also will be ordering my BPN Farmers Pride on Monday also.
for stopping by and taking the time to read this and i look forward to any and all input that you may have
