Hello fellow growers. First post and straight as a journal. I have chosen to start growing for the first time, I don't smoke or consume cannabis products but would like to test them for their medicinal benefits (migranes, wifes menstrual pains, as a muscle relaxant due to back/neck pain).
I have previously grown hydroponic lettuce and failed with ebb and flow and DWC but made a lovely score with NFT system with gullies. So I will be using what I have learned up to now to employ a hydroponic grow. As I would like to minimize the amount of light/electricity/heat I have opted for SCROG with the assumption that I would get more g/m2 and g/kWh used.
The space I have assigned to the grow is 130cm wide and 76cm deep and 270cm tall(obviously using the metric system).
Here is a picture of the space:
And this is what I am aiming to achieve:
What strain is it?
1x Auto Purple by Pyramid Seeds, 1x Auto East Rider by BulkSeedBank, 1x Auto Bubblegum by BulkSeedBank
Is it Indica, Sativa or Hybrid? What percentages?
No idea.
Is it in Veg or Flower stage?
Just germinated.
Indoor or outdoor?
Indoor.
Soil or Hydro?
Hydro, top feed, coco as main media but will need to have a layer on the bottom of something that will not wash away.
What size pot?
Starting with 5cm net pots to migrate to 3l bucket to 10l buckets.
Size of light?
Currently 4 x 60cm neons 6400k about 30cm from pots. Plan to add one more 4x60cm (which I have) and to go to CFL for bloom. Planning on 2x larger CFLs.
Is it aircooled?
No cooling no ventilation at the moment. Will need to consider a filter as it is right next to my apartment entrance door.
Temp of Room/cab?
N/A
RH of Room/cab?
N/A
PH of media or res?
N/A
Any Pests ?
No.
How often are you watering?
Twice a day dip them into a 1:1000 of rooting solution from Advanced Hydroponics of Holland
Type and strength of ferts used?
N/A
Questions:
As seen in the drawing I am hoping to achieve 130cm x 40cm SCROG canopy and would like to use CFL for flowering. My assumption is 2 x 125/200/250W would be sufficient just not sure how strong I should go? The plan is to position them slightly skewed (left to right): skew to the right from plant 1 and skew to the left from plant 3 like in the picture below:
You will see in the drawing estimations of size that I had to make, all three plants are classified up to about 1m so I assumed due to SCROG 60cm from media for the plant + 20cm of buds and have the lights on top of that. How close am I to the real sizes?
Filter wise (odor masking) I have no current availability to push air out of the room, if I put the filter to push/pull and leave the air in the room will it do a good enough job?
