About the yellow spots on my two plants:

I have now been told they are in need of Mb and that the reason he says so is the fact that it is only the middle leaves.

My nutrients were sent today so it seems the plants will be fed on Friday or Saturday.

Now I will start building the grow room. It will be finished tomorrow and I will let ya all know how it turns out.

Happy growing.
 
Just a quick reply to let you all know:

Tomorrow it will be a one month celebration of my 10 ladies.

The ladies seem to be doing fine, between 48 cm and 60 cm.

More detailed report and photos from my grow room tomorrow.
 
Hello again.

One day late, but here I am.

My plants are doing good and my grow room works just fine. After the first grow is finished I will paint it inside and build a better solution for the entrance.

I had some wrong numbers in the grow room, but here are the final result: Two grow areas - each of 1 square meter with 3X T8 with two 36W tubes each. This gives me 19.800 lumen for each grow area (3300 lumen in each tube) Between the two grow areas it is a passage for me to have the fans and work on the flowers from. I will grow three plants under each light, giving me a capacity of 18 plants. Since I will only grow for myself and my closest ones, this gives room for experimenting and make me able to be selective (I want to learn how to do this right and make great tasting, potent buds)

My grow room are 1,60m tall. This gives free space for plants up to 1,20m. I will build a drying room on top with the same air in/out and homemade carbon filter solution. This because I want to grow several types in one grow and therefor will harvest multiple times during a grow.

If my homemade carbon filter keeps working as awesome as it does now trough this grow (all the smell is gone for now) I will put up a DIY about that one. Never seen my solution when I looked online so it could be it will not work when the really heavy smell sets in - or maybe my :smoke: and thinking together did some serious results :D

Costs:

Frame: 15 Euro
Wooden plates: Free (had some old ones lying around)
Fan: 15 Euro X2 30 Euro total
Fan in/out: 20 Euro each, 40 Euro
Homemade Carbon filter: 14 Euro in total (works like a charm)
T8`s: 15 Euro each, 90 Euro in total
T8 tubes: 2 Euros each, 48 Euro total (12X 3000K and 12X6500K)
Duck tape: Empy - must buy more. 5 Euro or there about.
Total cost: 242 Euro + what ever the white paint will cost me.

Found an old hygrometer and a digital reader for the temperature.

The grow room is built within a small room in the basement. The room keeps a steady temperature and the grow room does too as it gets the in-air from this room. This grow room will be easy to keep at 60/70% in air moist at the same time I am able to have around 40% in the drying room on top.

I expect my nutritions to arrive tomorrow and I am quite exited about that. It is Advanced Nutrients grow, bloom, micro and big bud.


A few photos from the grow room:

Grow area 2: (empty for now. My next grow I will hang up the T8`s and use both grow areas)

I am out of ducktape and therefor need some more taping. Then painting and build in an airtight door. Other than this, it is finished.

HELP ME:
Under every post many of you have some statement or url that comes automatic in every post you put up in the forum. Can you please help me explain where to find this so I can put my grow journal (and future grow journals) in that place?

that`s it for today. Time for some bonding with my :bong:
 
Hey man badass set-up. I forgot how to set up the signature and I'm two brownies deep so I probably wont remember anytime soon. :smokebuds:
 
Go to settings in the top right corner to the right of your screen name click there and scroll down and to the left you will see edit Signature and it won't show up on past post only post you do after you edit and when you post to the bottom you will see "show your signature" Make sure it's marked and all your post from then on out will show your sig
 
Thanks, Dishu.

I have received my nutrients and my ladies have been fed.


The only thing I find strange about my nutrients (AN grow, bloom, flower) is that in the online chart and on the instructions on the bottles it is stated that I should use all three of them from the beginning to the end.


I see that every grow I have read about use the grow and micro first before switching it to flower and micro. Why would people do it different than what is stated on the bottles and in the chart? I personally think grow and micro, then flower and micro seems to make more sense, but the bottles says for all of the products to be used from start to finish.


I put up a thread about this issue here.


Seems like nobody really knows much about this one.


Since my plants now was 1 month and 2 days old with no feeding I gave them a full dosage of micro and a full dosage of grow. Even as it is stated to use all three of them, I will do what others seem to be doing until I have an answer.


Also I use Big Bud and for my next grow I will add Bud Candy, overdrive and some root stimulator.


I will come back with a grow report in about a week or so.

BTW: I checked my water today for the first time. My tap water have a ph of 6.8 and it is soft water(25 ppm)
 
Yeah man I can tell you one thing wait on the bloom for a while if you read that artical that muddy wrote he says not to use them for a while so you can get all you can out of the Veg stage .. I came up with my own schedule. But AKs are hardy so as long as you dont over do it you'll be fine and the Co that makes those nutrients of course they want you to use all them cause they want u to buy more ASAP. Fox farms says the same thing

I bet you are right on the dime here, thank you.

Yeah, I have read the Muddy guide and I will do roughly as he stated with of course a personal twist to it as experience comes along.
