Here is my personal grow log for my entry in Twenty20 Mendocino Grow&Show 2022.
For this grow, I decided to try growing in Coco coir, using the Canna range of nutrients. I also switched from a fabric pot to an Air-Pot.
To work out my feeding amounts, I used Cannas own Grow guide, using "Light feeding" as a base. As my water is very soft (EC 48us/cm3), and Canna nutrients are deigned to be used with water that has a standard hardness rating (EC 400us/cm3), I was aware that I would need to add CalMag, so I ordered the Canna Coco starter kit and Canna CalMag.
I created a spreadsheet for 25%, 50% and 75% of the "Light feeding" amounts to aid me when feeding (click thumbnails for larger views).
Equipment
Tech-Garden Grow Tent - 50 cm x 50 cm x 100 cm
AC Infinity Cloudline S4 Extractor Fan
Rhino Hobby 100 mm x 300 mm Carbon Filter (outside the tent due to space issues)
Spider Farmer SF1000 Grow Light
Mini Tower Fan
2 x 120 mm USB fans for air circulation above area where Mini Tower Fan operates
Mini Dehumidifier
2 x 3D-printed Silica Gel holders (with Silica Gel inside obviously) within the passive intakes.
VegTrug Bluetooth 4 in 1 Soil and Light monitor
9 meter, 80W reptile heat belt
Meross Smart plugs to control equipment within an App
Meross Smart Hydrometer/Thermometer that interfaces with the Meross Smart plugs
Wi-Fi Security Camera, that is connected to my PC using iSpy software, where I have set up to take a photo/frame grab every 3.5 minutes (210 seconds) for creating Time-lapse videos.
Day -7
The seeds arrived from @Twenty20 Adam on Thursday 20th January, but due to a minor delay with delivery of my nutrients, I was not able to start until Saturday 22nd.
Day -5
I mixed 10 litres of Coco with 2.5 litres of Perlite, and filled up my 12.5 litre Air-Pot. As it was an off brand Coco, I rinsed the Coco with about 20 litres of pH 5.5 water.
I then mixed up 2 litres of Week 0 - 25% feed (CalMag, Coco A&B and Rhizitonic) and used this to give a final rinse to the Coco.
Due to limited space, I am only able to grow 1 plant at a time, so I chose to start with Whiskey Zulu. My next grow will be Triks.
I dropped a seed in a small bowl of water, and placed this in my grow tent (with lights off) for 48 hours, switched on the Wi-Fi camera in the tent, and started the iSpy capture software to make weekly Time-lapse videos of the grow.
Day -3
She has a tap root, so I dropped her into the Air-Pot, and gave another feeding from the Week 0 - 25% spreadsheet. Switched on light at 50% on an 18/6 hour schedule.
Day 1
She's popped up
Time-Lapse of week 0 now live on The WeedTube
The Weed Tube is now closed. I have now uploaded a Supercut (complete Time-Lapse video) to my YouTube channel - DaveR1974 Grows.
I will keep this log updated every few days, and the Official Grow&Show log weekly.
