Indoor L0wbobs legal adventures

[L0wbob2017]

So after some time in researching a lot about all types of cannabis, light and soil i wanted to start something with the knowledge i collected in my brain.

Since @TheMongol is growing some very nice auto-strains and also some pretty good chilis, i decided to start growing legal plants at my home.

There is a main reason for this and a nice side-effect.
The main reason is that i can learn more about growing plants that give me a harvest i can eat and use in the kitchen.

The nice side-effect is, that i am getting more and more equipment over time so in the end,
after learning a lot and harvesting a few rounds of different vegetables,
i will have everything i need to grow anything i want.

At the moment i got a lot ideas what to grow but i have to start with something so i decided to get the worlds hottest chili, the california reaper.
I know this chili is to hot for beeing used in any good way, but it looks very nice and i will try to eat a piece of one of them when they are finished.

This beeing said i will continue to show you my equipment i got so far. There is more on they way

So at first i wanted to be sure that any plants i grow will survive the winter. The problem in winter is, that there is not much light coming from my windows. So i am going to build a growroom.

I ended up with this configuration:
[Place] | [Pots & Soil] | [Seeds] | [Light] ( Parts are on their way )​

[Place]

It is a SecretJardin HydroShoot 80 (80x80x160cm)

At the moment it is just built up and used for first 3 seeds to start. They need 25-29°C and for this i got a little heatmat. All in the tent i get the temps i need for the best start.

Things i had:

• The digital timeclock i had over and now it is beeing used which is nice.
• I got a PH-meter that is at @TheMongol at the moment. It is a HM Digital PH-200.
• I also got a EC/PPM-meter that is also at @TheMongol at the moment. It is from GHB and can read EC and PPM.

I also ordered a digital thermometer for 4 bucks.

Things i will get in future:

• In the future i am going to get a hygrometer for humidity measurements. Also i will get a soil ph tester.

[Pots & Soil]

Since it was my first order from that shop i ordered everything to start from, i ordered only 1 growbag per size to see what fits my needings. Same thing for the mats to lay under the growbags.

[Pots]

• 10 Eazy-Plug's [ the big ones 7.5x7.5x6cm ]
• Growbags i ordered in 1L, 4L, 11L and 19L

[Soil]
For the soil i ordered the "Canna Terra Seed Mix" for the early seeds and the "Canna Bio Terra Plus - Improved Version" for the potting mix, in which they will stay till they die. Also i got some perlites.

I am going to try to stay as much organic as i can but maybe i will also try chemical fertilizers. For my first run i decided to get the supersoil from my buddy @TheMongol and also started to ferment the supersoil-bio-terra-plus-mix in the right amount. You can see the bags in the background.

[Fertilizer & Additives]
So i think i am pretty good equipped for legal plants. Even if the supersoil is not enough i am saved with the rest nutes i got from the outdoor run. I think Advanced Nutrients will also be good for non cannabis plants

Also i got some Mycorr's in stock if needed. ( edit: the supersoil doesnt like to be mixed with mycorrs so i wont do that )

[Seeds]

[Light]


well like i said, the parts for my COB light are on their way.

For now i can tell that much:

• Driver: HLG-320H-C2800-B with 100K poti for dimming
• COB: only 1 Bridgelux Gen 7 Vero 29 3000K ( Partnumber: BXRC-30E10K0-C-73 | it is the ~70V version )
• Heatsink: a special passive Heatsink that can take up to 300W heat.
• Reflector: I got some Ledil Angelina's (90°) left from my Spaceship.

I know it is more like an overkill, but this light can be used for many applications hehehe

As soon as all parts are here i will do a new DIY thread

 

[TheMongol]

Bwahaha...LMAO...MAJOR LOL!
LB's Legal Adventures...Naaahhhh, you're so funnybuddy!
For sure this one will be a great thing, seeing the sience artist at it's best growing LEGAl....have to calm down!
Will do a major call on yours tomorrow, bro!

 

[L0wbob2017]

I will start this journey with

[California Reaper]

• The instructions for the seeds said i need to lay them 12-24 hours into 25°C warm water, which i did with a shot glass standing on a warming-mat.
• I prepared 3 Eazy-Plug's and got them also on the warmin-mat. I did 3 because the internet said about 50% of the seeds dont germinate or grow bad plants. I will take the best plant.
• I mixed 2 bags of supersoil. 1 bag is for the bottom, so it has more supersoil in it and the other is for the top with a lighter supersoil mix. Both were watered with 10% of their volume and put into a closed bag for fermenting for 7 days.
• After 24 hours i took all 3 seeds out of the water and put 1 seed into each Eazy-Plug. They came back into the seedtray on the warming-mat.
• At the moment i am using a 12W 4000K LED Bulb for 2 bucks, hanging from above at 30cm distance for a bit of light.
• I am reading the temp all the time and it is stable at about 26.5°C.

Once i can see a head of any of the 3 seeds i am going to call this day 1. I am also going to label all germinating seeds and let AFN decide which to take for my round

So the soil is fermenting for 24 hours now and the seeds have been put in the Eazy-Plug's after beeing 24 hours in 25°C warm water.
