Hey guys wuts up? Today I am posting a journal of my first grow ever. Well actually this is my first post of a forum of any kind so lets give it a shot! Bear with me as I am a Noob to everything here lol.
First off the strain I chose was to go with Berry bomb, from bomb seeds. I will give you the honest opinion on why I chose this specific strain... the picture looked cool.... lmao... i kno... that chances are it wont come out like that especially since this is the first grow but that was the reason.... i wont lie..
I know for sure that i will only be growing indoors so when I first had this idea I built a 3 plant DWC in a 55 gallon tote. I will post pics of it. I will use this along with 1 27 gallon tote with 2 plants for my first grow. And even thought I feel this would have gotten the job done, but after doing researchi have found that given my grow space (8'x6'x8') i have decided to change the plan and go ahead and go with a RDWC system to completely maximize my grow space after this grow.
Here is a list of materials I have gotten already:
Currently I have soaked the seeds for 24 hours in water in dark room covered and put them in Rapid Rooter cubes that i also had soaking overnight in the rapid start solution. I placed them under my 1000W HPS light dimmed at 50% and raised the light about 5 ft. currently the humidity is 60-70% and the temp is 75-80F.
I have no experience in this so please dont be too critical of my setup, but with that said... constructive criticism is definitely welcomed. I know there is tons of room for improvements so feel free to help me out. The tent itself isnt all the way set up (exhaust fan and air ducts have to be installed but for sure will be ready by the time they are ready to go in. Right now its a chilly 55 in my garage with no light on and 70 to 75 with it on.
