Back in the saddle again...
The plan was to wait until September, but I just couldn't take it anymore. New growers: the line about growing weed being addictive is NOT a clever joke. I managed to figure out a way to run both the tent and the AC if it's needed, though it has been a very mild summer so far. Now, using the microwave, toaster, etc. at the same time is a bit tricky. Basically only the AC or the microwave can be plugged in at the same time. Still, anything for weed, right?
I set up a new tent for this year. Gone is the One Deal (remember that name and avoid at all costs) and in it's place is a Gorilla Grow Tent. I started out with a smaller one, so I was familiar with the quality. I also replaced the carbon filter, though I'll bet it really didn't need replacing yet. What good is a fan and filter if your tent is falling apart? The only other addition is one of those automatic fire extinguishers. So now I can act like I'm all responsible, or at least I can as soon as all of you stoners forget that I grew a for a year without one...
The Set-up:
3'x3'x7' Gorilla Grow Tent (approx. 90x90x210 in centipedes)
Hydroponics Hut PG-260 LED panel (259.2 watts output; 24/7)
150 Watt Sun System HPS light, primarily for heat, so it won't be on until later in the grow.
4 yellow-base Air-Pots
4 inch inline fan with carbon scrubber and variac for speed control; passive intake
2 small spring mount fans for circulation
fire extinguisher
The Soil and Nutes:
Soil is mixed in the following ratio: 6 cups Fox Farms Happy Frog, 2 cups perlite, 1 tablespoon Azomite
Entire Fox Farms Dirty Dozen kit except for Flower's Kiss, plus Kelp Me, Kelp You and Wholly Mackerel
Cal/Mag and Silica Supplement
The Line up:
Mephisto Genetics Fantasmo Express.
Sweet Seeds Red Poison
Sweet Seeds Sweet Trainwreck
Mephisto Genetics Toof Decay
Our story so far:
Seeds were soaked overnight then just dropped in the soil on Wednesday the 3rd, and all four popped up on Saturday the 6th. Still got a week and a half of the slows...
