Live Stoner Chat Hi there! Autoflower noob with big plans.

[Loki]

Hi!

Im a 25 year old student, just finished my exams and no job over the summer. So you know Katt said, if you ain't got no job and you no smokin' weed. I don't know what the fuck you are doin. So I'll be growing very soon.

I'm still a noob, I have done one 400W HPS closet grow, managed 0,7g/w with 4 photoperiod plants in 11l pots. Was happy with yield since I had PH problems and nute def. with BioBizz nutes. Favourite was SLH, great smoke. I have big plans for the next grow. Plan is to go with 24/0 light with 2x600W lumatek in aircooled hoods, 12 plants in 11l pots, 12 different strains, blumat feeding in soil, and Plant Magic OT feeding with a couple of additives and beneficials and Canna PK13/14, DR150W (150x90) tent and TD silent fans with SMSCOM hybrid controller.

Plan is to start as soon as possible, waiting for some more equipment before I get going, among other items, the tent itself. I'm now researching all the strains, to see when they finish normally, how big they get, how strong feeding they like and so on.

Plants I'll be growing:

Nice strains you got there Loki, I suggest going 18/6 or 20/4 to give your girls some down time and save you some money along the way. i did 24/0 and finished on 20/4 my first grow(given it was my first grow and made alot of mistakes) but i switched to 18/6 not only am i saving money, im yeilding more and getting healther plants on 18/6 my second and now im on my 3rd auto grow. im using leds so your using hps you might want to looking into a shorter lighting schedule. but 24/0 works so you dont have to change any plans if you choose not to just a suggestion. welcome broski cant wait to see what the grow looks like let us know if you need any help:Sharing One:

hey Loki good luck with the grow and welcome to AFN :thumbs: what i would recommend changing would be to not go with a 24/0 light schedule, i would go with either 18/6 or 20/4 it will save you a bit on electricity and won't affect your yield. i would also consider cutting the amount of strains you are planning on growing, maybe think of going with 6 different strains and grow 2 of each? the reason i say this is because growing 12 different strains could become tricky when feeding, you could end up having to make up different strength feeds for 12 plants. only a suggestion though. and good luck with whatever you choose.

Thanks for the welcomes.

20/4 it is then, I read a couple of threads yesterday where people said the plants grew better under 24/0, but 20/4 would be better, less fan noise when going to sleep.

I was thinking about running 8 plants instead but to be honest, I just want to try it out, I love to change what I smoke and 12 different types makes my mouth water. The medium I'll be growing is already fertilized, so I'll be just adding the additives and benificials and a little nutes to the plants that need it. Should be ok, if not a little challenging. :twist:

Couple of pictures from my previous grow:

Welcome Loki, eP.

 

[Chester]

Was your previous grow in pre-fertilized soil ... :Sharing One:

 

[Loki]

Yeah they were in BioBizz All-mix, to hot for my taste in veg. Got some good and cheap garden peat based soil for next grow that many locally use. I'll add 30l perlite to 100l soil, going to be a 23% perlite. Next grow with be chemical nutes and coco. And six 17l pots, Ill have then 6 different water tanks to feed 6 different plants automatically. But that's a bit down the road.

I've never had much luck w/ autos in pre-fertilized soil ... :Sharing One:
