New year, new start, new grow!
I've been lurking on here, UK420 and Reddit - absorbing loads of helpful advice through osmosis! I found Hans grow diaries an inspiration
And wanted to keep a diary of my 2021 grow. Any advice or questions appreciated
I've grown before, but this is a step up from window grows/CFL/first generation LED blue. I want to be self sufficient, stealthy, affordable and fairly low maintenance.
I'm starting small with 2 auto power plant seeds from dutch passion. Seeds popped in on new years day after following cotton pad technique (took just 24hrs). Just showed their heads this morning (2 days in). Still under DIY hydration domes to help keep humidity/temp up whilst they're fresh.
My set up is:
+ 80x80x160 grow tent in 90x120x165 insulated box providing room for reservoir adjacent to tent (50mm all round with 100mm roof)
+ 100mm/4" duct with appropriate carbon filter and inline fan (latter outside tent in insulated box hanging from bungees - huge noise reduction)
+ two EnFun EF-2000 LED Grow Light (200W)
+ 800w oil filled rad (keeping tent circa 24C)
Growing in two pot autopot system, with canna clay pebbles in bottom 2" (2.5ltr per pot) with 12. 5ltr canna coco coir medium. Prior to popping seeds I soaked each pot in 1.5ltr rainwater warmed to temperature with added Vita Link 1ml CalMag and 0.8ml Silicon Max, using pH down to 5.8.
My next steps are to get EC/ppm pen working for next proper water (2-4 days depending on coco moisture), and a clip fan (plus a few other goodies including rubber plant ties for LST) now I'm paid! Wondering when to remove humidity domes and then turn on clip fan, thinking domes at next water and starting fan at top of tent to help circulation a few days after that. I'll post some snaps shortly once there's more to see!
