Hello there and welcome to my inaugural journal here at 420 magazine. This journal will be documenting from the very beginning of the crop and so the seeds have just been planted lets begin.
The first thing I did was wash and sterilize my containers as well as do the same to the growing area. Off the top of my head the space is about 4.5 x 6.5 square( kind of rectangular). Since the space is a bit smaller then I like space is at a premium and since I am using bagseed vs feminized seed I grow 2 plants per container since I will be culling out roughly half which will be males.(I may grow a single male in a different location utilizing 2 150 watt cfl. This would be for the pollen as I am almost out of viable seeds of this unkown strain which I like)
There is no room here for a perpetual harvest that I would love(I may love growing even more then smoking) I have no separate flowering and veg areas no mother and no clones.(so sad)
The lights I am using is a
450 watt 3Watt diode LED (Used in conjunction for 1 grow so far and In my opinion LED are amazing just remember to wear sunglasses or you will be seeing the color white as green )
600 Watt hps/mh combo setup( I love versatility and so do the plants)
2 150 watt cfl (Haven't used in conjunction with all the others just yet. I'm not sure it is needed even.
1 90 watt all red/far red led(Only turned on for flowering period)
My containers are Square plastic buckets that used to have 22 lbs of kitty litter in them(Kitty litter sold at walmart) The smaller ones are white the larger ones are blue and the biggest is yellow. I chose this way since it recycles them over and over instead of just tossing them also, you can fit more square containers in a space rather then circular containers which will leave a lot of wasted space.
This space is not ideal in my mind for reasons I wont identify but suffice it to say it all has to be torn down within a minute or 2 if that situation arises. If Anyone has any ideas on how to implement some sort of wiring to feed the plant through to train the canopy to be all even with a nice profile I'm all ears. Remember the fast breakdown required so I cant alter the walls with hooks or ducts or things of that nature. Looking forward to hearing all your thoughts. Until then have a great day.
