I am growing Cali connection blue dream haze. It's not an auto, I like the peps on this forum the best so this is where I wanted to log. I do know many are interested in kind soil too. So here is the setup.
3 gallon air pot
Kind soil
Coco loco
Kind 750 LED
Growboxusa misty ( veg box)
Growboxusa silverback EC ( flower box)

A little about my grow boxes. They are a self contained, light, smell proof grow boxes with all the bell and whistles. I have already done a review on the misty, which is their smallest box. I went ahead and purchased their big boy silverback with a built in micro A/C unit. I currently have a northern lights in the silverback that is in hydro on its first week of 12/12. I will veg in the misty under a 90w (actual) LED for four weeks. She will be topped and then placed in the silverback. Since the silverback has its own AC unit, I am collecting the condensation from the air conditioner and using it to water my plants. A PPM reading shows its 50ppm with a ph of 6.6. Pics are day of sow and day 7.



Here is a link of the unit that explains the operation.

Germination method: I have had very good success with rapid rooter. Since I live in a hot 85f+ and humid RH 70+ I germinate outside. On average, I see sprouts within 48 hours. I then try to get it in the veg box before it stretches too much.
Growing environment:
Veg box: 83f @ 45 RH. Using white blue spectrum LED

Flower box: 68-70f @ 50-65 RH
Lighting: Kind 750... I am utilizing the custom spectrum/intensity feature. Daylight starts at 2000 with a dim red and white spectrum that matures into 100% red 50% blue and 100% white spectrum and fades the same way with light out 0900 ( 13 hours light)

Soil/fert: Kind soil and coco loco. I am using maxx yield airpot ( 3 gallon). 2 lbs of kind is on the bottom layer then another pound of kind is mixed in with the coco loco since I started from seed and did not want to do the solo cup method. She should have enough nutes to get her past the seedling stage, we will see.

She is coming along. No problems so far. Been using the condensation water from the AC unit and she seems to really like it. I re checked the PPM and it was 26, I am very happy about the quality of FREE water I am getting from this unit. I am collecting a little under a half gallon a day, this is after I top off my 5 gallon DWC too.
Having a bit of a gnat issue at the moment. She is on her fourth node and is already sprouting secondary nodes. I will top her Monday and start LST. Temps are at 84ish and RH is 40ish.

Day 21:
Topped her a week ago. Vertical growth seemed to be stunted for the week. She is around 10'' at the moment. Foliage is increasing dramatically and stem girth is right on track. She has been under white/blue light 24 hours a day. Watering her sparingly every other day at about 1/2 cup. I am waiting for her to rebound fully from the topping before putting her in the flower box.
 
Journal canceled. Zero traffic in 3 weeks. I guess there is a secret handshake around here that I am not aware of.:nono: Don't mean to sound petty but I seen journals where guys just say "hey, im growing this, look out" and within a day there is a page full of conversation. Thought I had a pretty good lay out with good details that could spark some sort of conversation. Same thing happened to me when I had an issue and posted in the sick section, yet well known guys were posting up and getting flooded with responses. See yall later.
 
Thats a sweet set up mate.. I can move the thread to somewhere you might get a little more traffic if you like..:pass:
 
Naw, over 113 views is good. I will stick with my personal journal. Have a good day
