So, I will apologize in advance as I am OCD and this is my first ever grow after 17 years of loving the flower, so this will be an EXTREMELY detailed post. I will be looking back on it during each future grow to hone my skills and create top shelf Cannabis consistently.
First the tent, 300w LED, carbon filter and out fan (purchased from Amazon as a bundle and delivered the following day)
Amazon product ASIN B072QWGB6W
I set it up in an unused bathroom. I had one other person helping. It took under 10 minutes to get it together. It seems to be of very high quality and will be perfect for 4 autoflowers. I will use the 300w light for the first few weeks. then I will turn off the 300w light and use the 1,000w light for a few weeks. Then when she is looking "buff enough" I will use both lights.
These LEDs have the 15w 3 chip, which is supposed to be as good as it gets for Cannabis. Brand is iPlantop. they both have dual cooling fans and barely emanate any heat.
The additional 1000w LED grow light:
Amazon product ASIN B07F872N6Z
Growing Medium:
Fox Farms Ocean Forest
Fox Farms Happy Frog
High Grade Perlite
All purchased from Amazon. I will mix the
OF and
HF together with about 25% - 30% perlite.
The Seeds:
Auto AK x 3 from Grower's Choice. 1 didn't pop.
Fugue State x 2 from Mephisto Genetics. Paid for one, they sent me two FS and 2 x Sour Orange Diesel Kush. May get another tent setup. They also sent me a bunch of cool stickers I used to flair up my pots. Whoever is working their sales & marketing department is a genius! I will be buying my seeds here for quite some time. I follow their sub reddit: Meph Heads
I have a humidifier and small desktop fan coming on Monday. My humidity is low right now, but luckily I setup in a bathroom. I just run a hot shower and it gives the ladies what they need.
Right now I am on day 7 (day 1 being the day I put the seeds between wet paper towels)
I will continue to post updates every 2-3 days and if anyone has any suggestions, speak up!
