Hi All, here goes my official 1st grow. I had an unplanned grow with some bags seeds that produced crap so far (spider mites, transplant shock, males which I thought were females, etc..). In fact, the one plant and two clones I have left are still growing. They went to veg from flower twice already. Damn photoperiods lol. Anyway... that was grow #0. Together with what I learned from that disaster, doing research on the webs (420 Magazine included), and buying proper stuff, I am ready to start over now.

Ok back to the new grow and what I will be using...
Tents: Two 5'x5' from Apollo horticulture
Veg Tent Lights: Two T5 lamps with four 54W 4' bulbs each (Bulbs in each housing - 6500K, Actinic 460nm, Eye Hortilux PowerVeg, 6500K)
Flower Tent Lights: Perfect Sun 1000
Fabric Pot Size: 3 gallon
Medium: 80% Coco coir 20% Perlite mixed with 1/4 cup of sand
Nutrients: Cal Mag Plus, FloraNova Grow/Bloom, Roots Excelerator, Voodoo Juice, Superthrive, Floralicious Plus, Armor Si, & Monster Bloom
Auto Strains: AK-47, Mazar, Bluetooth, Critical Thunder, Electric Fruit, & Lemon Haze
# of Plants: 6 (+ 3 bell peppers - my temp/nutes/lights guinea pigs
)
Pic of feeding schedule. I may have to adjust a ml here and there depends on actual PPMs and how the plants are reacting to it.
I popped all of the seeds using the paper towel method with RO water (PH 5.8). I placed them in individual ziplock bags, put all of them into a paper bag, and then placed them in my Veg tent for 3 days. Interesting how some strains had longer tap roots than the others.
Then I prepared 1.5" and 4" rockwool cubes with 2ml Cal Mag, 0.5ml Floranova Bloom, 0.5ml Roots Excelerator, and 0.5ml of Voodoo Juice. The coco coir perlite mix (80/20) was prepared two days before with 2ml of Cal Mag plus and RO water with PH at 5.8. A week before that, I flushed the coco/perlite mix with tap water numerous times. The mix also has a 1/4 cup of sand (I hate gnats) along with a 3/4 cup layer at the bottom of each pot.
Once I got the rockwool in the coco, I added a layer of clay pebbles to the top. I wanted to add something to keep the coco from shifting around every time I water. Could not add a thick layer yet since the plants are too tiny. Hence, why the rockwool is visible.
Here are the seedlings in the veg tent.
My flower tent is a work in progress. The Light Rail is up, but I need to work on it a little more to make sure it does not come falling down after I get the PS1000 on there. Trying to get the light as high as I can in the tent. Since my 4" iPower fan is being used in the laundry room right now, I will see how the temps/humidity will be with just an oscillating fan and dehumidifier in there.
