hello AFN :cheers::headbang::smoking::smoking::d5:

i currently have my first grow going that i'm already documenting elsewhere- 3x tyrone special in a 2x4 closet w/324w t5. going very well and am using that to learn and prepare for this grow, the main event.

i want to be 100% self sufficient. i don't ever want to buy weed again. like ever, ever again (unless i'm on vacation somewhere or something xD). went with the amare se450 and the 4x4 gorilla shorty tent. using 2 and 3 gallon smart pots and roottrapper ii's.

got it all put together this weekend and hung the light, n spent tonight mixing soil and planting seeds. everything should be in place for now, don't wanna hit the seeds with the cob's just yet so only have the mono's on the amare turned on yet (that should be enough for them to sprout n stuff yeah?).

so i know 9 plants in a 4x4 is overkill but just taking caution that enough will germinate n all that - if i end up needing to figure something out later that's fine xD

in the tent are 3x auto blues, 3x deep blue c, and 3x fastbuds blackberry (if having non-mephisto plants along for the ride makes this not an appropriate thread for the mephisto section let me know!). all the plants are in roots original and roots original amended with mephisto mix in the bottom (aside from two of them in kindsoil instead). i'm gonna just be watering with distilled water and hoping to keep it as simple as possible. 24/0 for the first week or two them blast them with the cobs 18/6 or 19/5 for the rest of the run.

just checked on them to make sure they're staying moist - humidity is high 50's in the tent and temp said 68 so i opened the tent a bit and aimed a little space heater at the pots, i'll check before i go to bed to make sure that's getting it warm enough in there. the first seeds i sprouted were super easy with the t5 keeping it all warm lol. in the future i'll probably just use the 2x4 space as a germ/sprout/early veg room and send the plants to the 4x4 once they're ready to take off. attached are some pics of the setup! i plan to keep the tent open like that until i get ventilation set up. from here til the end, please let me know if anything seems off, won't hurt my feelings, we're growing plants and having fun :D :vibe:oughta be able to not take it too seriously:vibe:.

back to the volcano for now :hookah:

nice intro, and nice light. Your probably going to have space issues, but no worries. Hope you grow some nice buds. You have good genetics so you should get nice smoke. You might want to get some ph down to drop the distilled water to 6.5 ph and maybe add calmag if you see deficiencies. Good luck I'm subbed.
 
right on. i'll make a trip to the hydro store sometime this week or weekend for the supplies - luckily distilled has been working well on the other grow (as long as i use just distilled and not mixed with filtered tap water) but for sure you're right. want to invest in a decent ph meter but so many of them get awful reviews so just haven't yet -had a cheapie from home depot that one was not decent lol - and good call i need to remember calmag. i know a lot of people run into needing that and i'm sure i'll be no different xD

and yes, space issues, i'm feelin it too. wouldn't complain if that's my biggest problem though lol
thanks man
 
thanks, super stoked. :bow: so lucky that i came across mephisto without having much exposure to the growing world yet. i've paid close attention to a lot of people's grows with mephisto strains and the plants just always look dandy. love the attitude of the company (and they send freebie seeds even if you just buy soil mix from them? fuck yeah i'll grow those). i'll post some updates once some of the seeds sprout up :D
:growing:
 
5/9 seeds have sprouted above the soil as of today, I'll get a pic tomorrow

in the meantime, here's some tyrone special @ 19 days from seed

cobs turned on and they're loving life. keeping the tent open with a couple fans keeps the temp just fine, 79-81 in there, but time to start looking at a fan and carbon filter. pretty sure I know the fan I want (s&p td-200s), just gotta look at filters too. any recommendations?

6 days since I'd planted them, sprouts looking healthy! I'd been leaving the window behind the tent open a crack but brings temps down too far at night when the light's off (going 19/5 for now) so same as before, I really ought to figure out sealing the tent and venting/filtration.

was hoping I could wait til they started to smell to get it goin but guess I'll be making some decisions soon. the main thing holding me back is that the fan I planned on getting needs to have a plug wired to it and not sure if I should just find a diff one or what. are there no quiet/quality/plug and play inlines out there?
