Whats up folks! First time grower in the Midwest, where sadly, it is illegal to grow your own herb. After getting sick of a unpredictable black market and a high priced legal market I decided to join all you wonderful folks!
I will be growing in my unfinished basement in a relatively new house. Basement stays around 68 degrees all year round and relative humidity ranges from 40-60 percent without a dehumidifier. I will most likely be purchasing a dehumidifier come flower. Basement is moderately used.
I choose to go with blue dream auto from Humboldt. I purchased seeds from North Atlantic Seed Company, service was great.
Gear:
2x4x5 Vivosun grow tent
4" vivosun exhaust with carbon filter - exhaust blows to the other side of the basement. If needed I do have the option of venting outside
HLG 260x xl V2 Rspec
2x small clip on fans
RO Water pHed to 6.5
Advanced Nutrients
70% biobizz lite soil, 30% vermiculite that was presoaked with RO water with voodoo juice and cal mag at 100%, and some of my backyard compost.
5 gallon fabric pots
Seeds were directly sowed into the soil on 9/10 about 1cm down and lightly covered. All seeds germinated and have broke the soil as of today. Humidity domes will he left in until the first set of leaves form.
Have to use RO water as I have liquid rock coming out of my taps. 430 ppm average with a pH of 7.5 - 7.8. Luckily, I already had an RO system for my aquarium room.
Light is currently at 50% 24/7 at around 20 in above the surface of the pot. Will be ran 20/4 throughout the cycle once leaves form.
Any feedback or tips would be appreciated!
Toke well my friends!
