New Grower First grow ever started on 420 with Mephisto, Bio Tabs, ChilLED, Auto Smart Pot etc.

Awesome setup, man! Good luck to you. My only other thought is that 11 seems to be a lot of plants for the space.

Thank you @Iriee Vibez , the initial plan was 9, then i wanted to test the air pot as well, so i ordered one, and i did find it quite larger than the fabric auto pots!, then i ordered by mistake 1 autopot 15L so for just comparison reasons i planted them all!
I will top, train and defoliate them all so we shall see how it will work out! Iam going with a 50 plant setup in the next 2-3 grows and i need the info of the 10 plants to better calculate numbers.

DAY 5!

Update time!

I chopped a bit from its tail from another one but it did survive and its starting to open up a bit although its the smallest so far!

Lights at 30 - 35%
Temp at 77 - 79F / 25 - 26C

DAY 6! Update time!

Tent status:

Lights at 30 - 35%
Temp at 77 - 79F / 25 - 26C
RH at 65% - 70%
Light from seedlings at 25 inch / 65cm


The new Ripley OG seedling popped root so now its in its new home under soil i think it will pop up next time i visit the tent.
The first time germinating in a way i followed Mephisto guide on germinating, wet paper, in a plastic cup, in the tent with lights switched off with Temp at 77 - 79F / 25 - 26C , RH at 65% - 70%
It took them less than 38H to germinate and popped tails. I left them one more day before planting.
This time due to lights being on in the tent i put the seed in a cupboard with lower temps.
It took it 3 days to pop its tail but i did forget to wrap it up with a towel for insulation. That must have been the ma
I have noticed that the larger seeds popped first with larger tails and now they are the leading ones.

I started training 8 them.
The Ripley OG i accidentally cut the tip of the root survived and its slowly going up so i will let it be for now.
One of them is too thin so i will let it thicken up a bit before bondage sessions start! It was the smallest seed - a Ripley OG.

Hello, fellow growers, @MedCzech , @Autobot-J , @MassMom , @autobeast , @mephisto , @Biotabs F69 , @TheArchitect i would like to invite you to my first attempt to grow ganja!

I would appreciate if you would follow along with information from your experience and know-how!

Bellow, there is information about the setup.


Seeds: 9 Mephisto Ripley OGs & 2 "Toof", that was written on the freebies container , so it might be Toof Decay! we shall see!

20.04.19 (happy ganja day to all!)
I have put the seeds in toilet paper, wet them and in a plastic clear cup, sat on top of the lights (switched off) inside the tend where the temp is 25C and RH 70%

22.04.19
Nearly 36H later they have all germinated and planted in their new homes!

Their new homes are:
9 - Autopots with 18.9L SmartPot & 8 Airdomes
1 - 20L AirPot with Airdome
1 - 15L Autopot

7 Ripleys in smartpots and airdomes
1 Ripley in 20L AirPot with Airdome
1 Ripley in 15L Autopot
1 Toof in smartpot and airdome
1 Toof in 15L Autopot

All their new homes consist of:

A base of Atami Hydro Roks (Clay pebbles) around the air domes, then;
Plagron Perlite 2-3cm on top of the pebbles sprinkled with bat guano;

and the rest is a mixture of:
Atami Coco 50%
Biobiz Light Mix Soil 20%
Plagron Perlite 30%
Bio Tabs Startrex 70g
Bio Tabs Mycotrex 3g
Bio Tabs Silicium Flash 70g

They also got 2g of Bio Tabs Mycotrex in the seed hole.

0.5 L of tap water that read 280ppm and 7.9 PH (not worried as the soil acts as a buffer)

Tent: HomeLab Pro 1.5x1.5x2.2m
Lights: ChilLED Logic 100W Puck V2 x5 + ChilLED Logic Royal Blue Puck V2 x 4 + Mean Well HLH-480H-C2100B x 2 with dimmers on 2 rails.

1 heater fan
2 clip fans
1 humidifier
1 dehumidifier
1 portable air con that acts as a heater too
1 ink bird controller for temperature
1 ink bird controller for humidity


That's all for now! I will take some photos of the setup asap.

I will be topping, tying them down, up, sideways, etc with love and respect!

Peace and love to all! Happy growing!

Thought it was time to check in here. Great set up for sure.

And a way we go...

Thank you @MedCzech for visiting!
What do you think about the following soil mix?

A base of Atami Hydro Roks (Clay pebbles) around the air domes, then;
Plagron Perlite 2-3cm on top of the pebbles sprinkled with about 40g of bat guano pebbles (i got the idea from you) ;

and the rest is a mixture of:
Atami Coco 50%
Biobiz Light Mix Soil 20%
Plagron Perlite 30%

The 20% soil in my mind is to feed the plants until their roots reach bottom to turn on the water and to give home to the "trex" live organisms of biotabs.

Bio Tabs Startrex 70g
Bio Tabs Mycotrex 3g
Bio Tabs Silicium Flash 70g

They also got 2g of Bio Tabs Mycotrex in the seed hole.

Iam thinking about cutting 3 biotabs in half and inserting them into the soil mix in equal distance and different heights at 5,10 and 15cm. I thin What do you think about that? Or iam i over thinking it?

Since it looks like you read my thread, I will say no, you are not over thinking it. That's just great prep and thinking ahead in detail.

I am not the biggest fan of coco, especially if you have hard water, as it causes issues. It doesn't buffer like soil does, but with the soil and all the other ingredients, you should be fine. I would switch the soil and coco mix if I were you.

Other than that, it's all systems go bro!

 

[Happyganjafarmer]

Thank you for the advice @MedCzech ! Will do that on my next grow!
I will install the RO filters asap.
I have some soil left to amend when they pre flower.
Happy growing!
