New Grower BxElmo's Auto OG KUSH

[Bxelmo10]

It's BxElmo10 formely known as Bxelmo05. It's been some years since I was on here. We all know the rules here so don't break them. No trash talk, No my tech is better then yours and etc. We all have different ways in doing things. So with that being said let's start this party.

I got some Auto OG Kush by Nirvana and scored 4x free GSC !!! Not sure of the seed breeders so I'll vault those. Any who Im starting off with DIY due to budget issues but upgrades shall come along. I built my own 3x2x8 tent with a lower veg and upper bloom.

Tent: 3x2x8
Strain: Auto OG Kush by Nirvana
Pot Size: 5 gallon
Soil: 60% Generic Organic 10% Miracle Grow 30% Perlite
Nutes: General Hydroponics Go Box
Lights: 4x Walmart 60w Led Plant Bulbs

So far I got two seedlings going to the moon at the moment sitting at day 6. Light quality is poor but I shall upgrade when money is right.
I feed every other day jus enough to drench the soil with little ro as possible. 1/4 strength so Less is more...that's my Moto. Some say don't feed first week but I'm a bend the rules type of guy. Ph is around 6.6 with temps 76 degrees in day and night. No humidity reader so I don't know as of yet. I ordered a TDS Meter but shit didnt work so my best advice for all is to invest the big money for good quality testing tools. Glad to be back so Sub in. Here on my journal shits like Gerber...We learn and grow together.

Pic quality is not the best. I rather invest in my setup then to buy an iPhone X

Ya know, somewhere around here is a discussion on using regular full spectrum screw-in LED lights to grow. I’ll go fishing and see if I can find it. Might help you save some money over the LED grow lamps in the event that you ever need to replace the ones you got.

Lots of great information in there by a guy who used to build these arduino-controlled automated space buckets... @Mr. Sparkle the dude is a genius and a mad scientist.

Thanks Bro. Forsure I'll check it out. I plan on getting a Viparspectra 600w Reflector Series within two weeks. Then also some COB lights for siding. The lower part of my tent I'm gonna be doing DIY light kit due to my budget issues.

eBay does citizen cobs 1212 for £10 /$15 a decent heatsink for the same again and a Chinese driver all for £30 $45.

Welcome back and as a fellow budget guy, always intersted in watching budget grows. Sometimes they surprise you with final cost/yield.

Subbed and definately checking in time to time. Best of luck.

Think on it:
Would civilization get better or worse if humans focused on what was going well rather than what’s going wrong?
