Indoor Dinafem and Mephisto Auto Grow

[SHRED]

3 CBD Kush from Dinafem 16% CBD 0.6% THC
3 White Crack from Mephisto >25% THC

315W Sun Systems CMH/LEC
3'x3'x7' Gorilla tent
6" exhaust Hyper-Fan

5 gallon "squat" Root Trapper II containers
Mother Earth "Groundswell" soil
1"-2" of Hydroton at base of containers
Roots Organics Uprising Grow and Uprising Bloom
ReCharge
Molasses
R/O water then transitioning to rain water.

I'm keeping this grow real simple.
I most likely will remove two plants and place on the balcony outdoors when they get too crowded.

19/5 light schedule to save on electric bill. The 5 hours off is during peak hour rates.

I have a 20"x20" germination heating pad under the containers on a separate timer for lights off to help keep them warm.

2 weeks from seeds going into the soil.
Just R/O water so far and one dose of ReCharge.

And now for my "secret weapon".
Rain water.

I have a large germination heating pad under my containers. It goes on 1 hour before lights off and then off when lights go on.
It's helping maintain warmth in my chilly grow tent area.

So far just water, ReCharge, and a watering with a little molasses mixed in. I decided to not use this current batch of rain water I collected. It doesn't smell right.
I'm starting to tuck leaves for better side shoot growth.
I'll probably give them a light top dressing of Roots Organics "Uprising Grow" soon.

For being 21 days old they look mostly on target.

Looking good. Strange that the rain water smells off. Is the container holding the water in fine shape? Good luck the rest of the way.

I cleaned the tank out well before the rains came. And the roof. I even added a little bleach as it was filling.
I'm going to drain it before the next rain and see if the next batch is better. We don't get much rain but this is the season.

Hey,

How are you collecting the rain water? Are you letting it run off your roof, from the rain gutters, straight into your barrel? When I collect rain water it's from running down my roof and thru the gutters then thru the screen, 3 sets of mesh. 2 aluminum mesh and 1 cheese cloth.

I ask cause certain methods will give certain results. Running without any type of filtration may give you that off smell. What ever in the sky at that moment with be in your rain water. Just a heads up!

It runs off the roof through a fine mesh stainless steel strainer that came with the tank. I then filter it at the spigot with an RV water filter canister.

looking good winters can be tough,if i had any sense id give up growing for 3 months of the year.insulation,reducing the extraction(speed and timer)tube heater 60w,another tube heater 120w connected to an inkbird.sure i could stick a 500w heater in....but id have to get rid of a plant/and if the light is only 180W is it worth all the extra energy costs
good luck n keep er lit
