New Grower Fromseed2weeds Sweet tooth auto grow journal

[fromseed2weed]

I have gotten tons of great advice here at the AFN and I hope you guys keep it coming because I know with your help this will be my first truly successful grow Now for the details.

SPACE My grow cab is an old dresser that measures roughly 2ftx1ftx4ft.

LIGHTS 322W off cfls (7 2700K and 7 6500K)

SOILPromix Bx in party cups then they will be tiered into my pots filled with ffof.

NUTRIENTSI don't have any yet... I can't decide between Trio Or AN ph perfect, please let me now which one ya'll think would be better.

WATER I'm just using Tap water, I tested the ph and it is 7.2 straight from the tap and 7.4 after sitting for 24 hours and then I tested tap water that had been sitting for over a week and it was 8.4 what should I do?

SEEDS!I have 3 feminized Barney's Sweet Tooth auto's germinating using the jar of distilled water at the moment, It has been about 24 hours and nothing has happend yet

POTS I am using 1 gallon square containers that I made from tupperware

VENTILATION I have a small but pretty powerful fan built into my grow cab and I have just ordered a 4 inch inline fan to replace my other intake fan that couldn't keep my cab cool, you can see it in the link http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-4-Inch-...720?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c0f7747e8

Please feel free to post any and all advice you have, I am completely open to any opinions or idea's that you smart fellas have and thanks again for the help so far

I'm glad you made this post i just dropped the pot my swt tooth auto was in so im eager to see if it does anything for you

Be warned, sweet tooth auto has not been autoing for other members. You're definitely going to need that four inch fan with that much power in such a small space. If your tap water is testing that high I'd check with your water supplier to make sure it's not from chloramine. Otherwise you can drop it with vinegar.

Thanks piggy, I just tested the water runoff from a cup of promix and it was 6.9.

 

[fromseed2weed]

And what type of vinegar can I use to drop the ph?

Quick Update Ok so all 3 of my sweet tooth beans germinated in about 48 hours so I planted them in 18oz party cups filled with promix bx on 4-8-12 and today they shed their shells (with some help from me) so I officially have a grow on my hands :dance: I got some apple vinegar and used it to bring the ph of my tap water down and I have decided to go with the AN ph perfect line of nutrients because I hate having to constantly worry about ph levels... Please help me find the cheapest online store to buy the AN nutrients from because the only place I can find is HTG supply and they only have 4 liter bottles that are 33$ a piece and thats just not affordable to me at the moment, I'll post some pics once they get bigger, I don't wanna bore you guys with little seedling pics

Hey man. Glad to see you have a grow going. Guess I missed it the other day. I'll sub up and follow along and see if I can help, if you don't mind. Not sure about the AN prices. I'll look around.

You live in the States?

 

[fromseed2weed]

Yup squid I live in the states but don't worry about looking because I found what I wanted on ebay thanks to the help of slightlystoopid, I guess I don't need the nutrients for a few weeks though right?
