Hey folks! This will be where I put my first ever Auto grow log. I just ordered everything except soil/seeds. Equipment is:

Solar Flare 200W Full Cycle
Secret Jardin DR60II (24x24x63)
Oakton Ecotester pH tester
HM Digital TDS meter
Can RS4HO 4" fan
Can 33 filter
Acurite RH/Temp monitor.

I'm still undecided on a seed. I think I'll be picking between:

Dinafem - Critical Jack
White Label - Super Skunk Auto
Royal Queen - Northern Lights Auto
G13 Labs - Auto AK
Dutch Passion - Think Different

If anyone has any input on seeds I would love to hear it.

edit: Also I forgot to add that I will be purchasing the TLO Starter Pack from The Rev.

Items are slowly being shipped. Most of the stuff will come tomorrow with a few stragglers arriving later this week. I've finally decided on a 1st grow seed. Drumroll please.....



Think Different!

After doing tons of reading I've determined that the yeild/potency on this auto will be superb. I've heard you need to keep your RH low in order to avoid mold with this strain.
 
Howdy Al,

Soon as you get some pics up, peeps will be checking this out for sure. Seems like you have done oodles of homework. Great job. You will be happy with the TD, I have seen many great grows with them.

Be back soon

Peace

The Can 33 filter came in yesterday and it's HUGE (16" Tall w/ flange, 12" Diameter)! I'm not sure if it & the fan will fit. I'll wait until my tent comes in and mock fit everything before I make a decision. I'm also contemplating using a 24" T5 2 bulb salt water aquarium light (with new plant-friendly bulbs of course) during flowering for supplementary lighting.

My TDS meter, pH meter, & light hanging kit also came in. I have a Mighty Might RO/DI system (also from my saltwater fish tanks) but need to check the TDS to see if the membrane/canisters need to be changed. If they do it might be cheaper to just replace the system with one from Spectrapure. They have really good stuff.
 
The light came yesterday! This thing is ridiculously bright. All I'm waiting for is the tent & fan. I'll upload some pics of equipment this weekend.

Update time. Germinated seeds last Wednesday. All 3 popped so now I have 3 seedlings in 3 gallon smart pots. I'm itching to over water them but I'm holding fast until they absolutely need watering. I'll get pics of the babies up in the next day or so.
