Live Stoner Chat Hello from middle of nowhere Illinois

[Illini4life]

Hi everyone! My name is Evan and I'm from Illinois, USA. I lived in Chicago for the majority of my life but relocated for a master's program further south. I have been lurking this site for a long time and I am all set to start my first grow ever. Literally ever. I will post up a grow journal in the next few days in the rookie section and I am looking forward to growing with all of you! There is an amazing treasure trove of information on this site and I thank you all for that whether you realized you help me or not!

I will be running an indoor 3x3x6ft tent in my garage with an adjustable inline fan that can go way above the capacity of my tent if I need to pull humidity, heat, etc from the tent. I am planning on running a 2000w led, 370w actual, and having that be my sole light for the entirety of the grow. I will be popping 3 white widow autos as soon as they germinate, currently 10 hours in a glass of water then on to the paper towel so I can see them pop before planting. I am running the fox farm trio and botnicare cal mag +. I am a rookie so I am low in nutes and honestly probably won't be investing in more til my second grow.

Soil medium I am using is 40% fox farm ocean forest, 40% fox farm happy frog, 20% perlite, with 1 tbsp oyster shell per gallon(added buffer because fox farms has issues with going way acidic, oyster shells are 100% calcium carbonate without the extra magnesium to make the soil rock hard like dolmite lime can) of soil in 4 gallon aeration bags. I will keep you all posted when I get em potted and the fun truly begins.

Are you missing the letters ston from your name? We could call you "Mr Illinois, the Baseball God" if you add those simple four letters. Ok, maybe not.

Hopefully the oyster shells will be enough to assist with that 2000 watt light and you don't get dinged with a calmag deficiency. Good luck with the grow.

Haha my brother lives in Evanston I never pass on a chance to let him know it's the best place to live because it's named after me.

As for the oyster shell comment... What do you mean? I want any criticism or suggestions, I can take it like a big kid

Thanks for the warm welcome all! Like I said my seeds should be planted in the next 2 or so days. I will send out a post and if any of you want to follow and offer some help I would most definitely appreciate it! I am planning on going in depth with my journal so that everyone has all the facts and can steer me in the right direction.
