Hey everyone! Im a lurker who just finished his first grow. I did a journal on growweedeasy.com for my first grow.

Link:


I give @nebulahaze tons of credit for her site. Its an incredible resource if you're just starting. Anyway, first crop went in on April 17th and was chopped June 30th.

I grew:
1x Dinafem - Dinamex (yield 219g) (front left)
2xMephisto- Chemdogging (138g, 135g) (front right, back left)
1x Northern Cheese Haze (233g)(back right)

Plus 330g of larf.

My initial inclination was to do 1 or 2 plants. It was A LOT of trimming . Lol.
Given that I don't think i can run my tent in the winter ( temp would drop waay too low venting outside) I think im better off just doing 4 again. Curing in the fall will be better for temperature control as well.

Since i bought packs of 3 seeds, i have 2 Dinamex, 2 NCH, 1 Chemdogging and a Canuk Amnesia freebie left. The Dinamex and Cheese were highest yielding. Therefore Ive decided im going to do 2 Dinamex and 2 NCH, tuning the grow based on what I learned during my first grow.

Some changes:

Not going closer than 24" in veg , while keeping power a little over 50%.

I ran them at 20" during flower (@95%)which might have been a bit too much. Ill make 22" the min distance, hopefully reducing/eliminating light burn.

I still have AN sensi coco left over for base nutes, but ill tinker with the additives.

I used BigBud coco @ 0.7mls/l, instead of 2mls/l because I only had the 125ml bottle. I have 1l on order, so ill be able to do atleast 3/4 strength (maybe 1.5mls/l?).

I also ordered some Overdrive, which ill add during the last 2 weeks.

I used the loose fill canna coco first time, but couldnt get it for this grow. Ive ordered the canna compressed bricks that you add water to. They say it's the same thing...

Once I get confirmation that the coco is shipped, I'll get the seeds germinating along with the first pics for the journal. Thanks for watching!

The most time consuming thing about my first grow was fertigation. I initially had a water jug pump that i used to apply it, but it broke in less than a month. It was ok for the 2 front plants, but hard to use on the back 2 since the control was on top on the water jug.

I ended up just bottle feeding them the rest of the way, which was faster, but still tedious. Im thinking of using a lower flow rate aquarium pump, sitting in a Tupperware bin. This would increase my reservoir 3-4x from the 15l jug I used last grow. I assume the pump will be more reliable, but they also only turn off if they're unplugged. I found this on Amazon:

Amazon product

I could use it to turn the pump off and on while watering through a hose off the pump. Has anyone done a pump system like this with coco? Ive read mixed reviews on drip rings and I had decent results applying it by hand last time. Im just trying to streamline it a bit. The company that supplies my nutes/coco has finally confirmed theyll ship my coco , so hopefully it's here by Friday. Soon I can get the seeds germinating.
 
Awesome.job man those are beautiful girls looking all dolled up for the green carpet
