This lil lady showed her head last saturday and shes chugging along. I think shes gorgeous but theres that little bit of doubt/nerves in the back of my head saying shes got issues.
Im doing my best to ignore that voice tho, we are gonna maintain the course! A little refresher for anyone who cares to read...
1st grow, im growing in a 2x2x4 tent with a 300w led(actual watts are somewhere around 125 i think).
I have 1x seedsman auto white widow in a 5gal fabric pot. Im using kindsoil topped with coco loco as the medium and will be attempting a water, or water + recharge feed. The only other nute i have around is megacrop which im planning on using for the next round of grows. More on that later.
I am checking ph with a little drop kit, water out of the tap has been maintaining 6-6.5.
For ventilation and odor control i am running 2 6inch clip on fans and a 4inch fan and filter kit. Temps and rh have been spot on thus far. Ill be popping some ona gels as needed for the smell.
Concerns- heighth is a concern, between the pot and the lights/filter i only have about 30 inches of room so i am going to attempt lst for sure, and im on the fence about topping. I have a lil bit of time before i have to make that choice tho.
The baby started with 30inches of space between her and the light and im letting her grow up to it, shes about 2.75 inches tall and 27.5 inches frkm the light.
So here we are on day 8. How is my baby looking? This is the portion of the program where i fish for compliments and such lol. To my untrained eye shes looking good. Color is a good green, the leaves look to be shaping up healthy and hale, her 2nd set of fan leaves looks like theyll have at least 2 fingers. The leaves are pointed up but not in a leggy straining way. Im feeling good so far!
Next round of grows-
I am going to be adding another tent to the basement here shortly. This one is a bit bigger at 48x20x60. For lighting im intrigued by cobs and will probably grab one to start.
Ive got a ton of coco loco left over so im going to grow in it using megacrop and possibly recharge if i have any left. Id like to grow 2 plants in that tent, and ideally itd be awesome to have staggered harvests so i can keep my med cabinet full!
As far as strains im going to grow 1x seedsman northern lights auto and 1x advanced seeds gorilla blue auto. I got a freebie photoperiod seed called black cheese that im very intrigued by but i wanna get a couple auto grows under my belt before i try it.
Anywho, thats enough ramblin for now Happy saturday morning afn!
