Welcome to my journal!
This is my first grow and started it about 20 days ago from seed. Right now I have 6 plants growing in a 4x4 tent under a 400w MH. The 6 plants include:
I have no previous growing experience so this will/has been a learning process from start to finish. Fingers crossed I at least make it to harvest. I started out with no equipment and probably should have waited, but they already take long enough from seed as it is. Below is all of the equipment that I am using:
Hood - XtraSun 64 Air Cooled Reflector - 6 inch
Lightbulb - Xtrasun 400w MH Sky Blue 7200k
Ballast - SG Lite Switchable MH/HPS 400w Magnetic Ballast
Tent - 4x4 Vivosun
Bucket Size - 2 gallon
Medium - Fox Farm Ocean Forest
Lights - (1) 400w MH
Nutrients - None yet
# of Plants: 6
Yield : Fingers crossed for more than 10...is between a HP and P a "pipe dream" without experience?
So the plan is to veg these 6 plants under the 400w MH and then switch to a 600w HPS for flower. All of which will be taking place in the single 4x4. I may try and start a second veg tent and appropriate my 400w for that since its more suitable. Then keep the 4x4 for flower. Still waiting on the ventilation system in the mail and a thermometer (IK Ik, I should wear a scarlet letter for not having one in there already). I've been going off the "if its to hot for me it too hot for them" thing and it gotten me by thus far.
As far as water is concerned I am watering every 3-5 days with a PH between 6.5-6.8. I haven't checked the soil PH in 10 days but it was 6.5 when I did. I have not fed them anything yet, or even decided what I wanted to use. Any recommendation would be a big help. As well as when it would be optimal to start feedings.
Here are pics of the ladies from this afternoon:
White Widow #1: Day 20
White Widow #2: Day 20
Mystery Bag Seed: Day 20
Maui Wawi: Day 11
Critical +: Day 11
Red Leicester Tease: Day 9
Group Pics 5/14/17 Days 20, 11, and 9
I'm open to all and any feedback so lay it on me and let me know what you think!
Best Regards,
T
