OPERATION:TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT
Hello all, I thought I would write a bit about my first grow with the Amazon aeroponic grow system. This is the kit I am working with:
Green room tent 150X150X200
Sunmaster digital ballast
T5
Duel spectrum lamp 600w
Rhino cf
Amazon 8 hole (large)
Amazon 12 hole propagator
Water res heater
6”clip on fan
12” oscillating fan
1m parabolic reflector
Euro wing reflector
Green planet hydro fuel groel a+b
Green planet hydro fuel bloel a+b
Essentials pH meter
Essentials ec meter
The groom is in the box bedroom venting through the attic to the sofit on a shaded part of the house. Fresh air intake is the same but 3m away from the exhaust all with acoustic ducting.
Power comes from a dedicated circuit with its own separate trip on the fuseboard.
Put 5 AK49 autos from Vision seeds into pre-soaked Rockwool cubes into the Amazon propagator, lid on, vents closed, water res heater set to 22 deg into the tent. 2 days later all popped there heads so on with the T5 and the water spray system. I had been using the duel spec with the ballast turned down but with the UK having a bit of a heat wave we were still getting heat probs and the T5 helped a lot. The gro’om was a lot cooler so about 10 days later when the seedlings were looking a lot stronger and the heatwave calming down, I switched to the 600w duel spec, changed the water in the res with fresh pH’d water and a spash of Formulex seedling feed.
I was still waiting for the grow shop to get my Amazon large 8 hole lid so the seedlings were in the propagator for aprox 3weeks. The roots were too long to try and get them out of the small net pots so we cut the bottoms out of the large net pots and carefully threaded the roots through the cut bottoms of the large net pots packing aroud them with presoaked Grow Dan cubes.
Then into the amazon res 50L of water with the recommended amount of grow a+b or so we thought. Both myself and the Mrs had misread the instructions and we were putting in a fraction of the amount, after we put our glasses on we sorted that out.
I didn't write the start date but I am sure they went into the big Amazon on the 3rd of July ,the water gets changed every Sunday, add fresh notes and then pH adjust.
All plants are doing great, 2 are turning into monsters approx 1m700 (42”) high and I’m running out of room with the parabolic so I might have to swap back to the Euro wing. reflector to give me a bit more head height. 1 has lent over in it’s pot and the other 2 are straight but not as tall as the monsters, lots of bud sites and a divine smell
