Just starting my Grow Diary #1 for AFN (grow completed) -- will update with more details as and when I can.
The 20 x Big Devil XL - Sweet Seeds were pre-soaked in 2ml per Litre of Canna Rhizotonic in RO'ed Water for 18 hours, then I pop them using the damp tissue method; placed 20 in sweet tin @ 21'C for 2 days; all 20 had nice tails...
Planted into jiffys; came up within 24 hours under MH @ 18/6.
- 16 x Big Devil XL AUTO
Germination in RO'ed "water and tisue paper" method.
Medium Clay Pebbles...re-usability is great (simply wash and then rinse in a mix of Hydrogen Peroxide) - in a Wilma XL 180L x 8 pot x 25 ltr.... run bubbler, and aquarium heater in tank
Nutrients used Canna "Aqua" Nutrients, Rhizontonic, Cannazyme, Aqua Vega, Aqua Flores, PK 1314 and a non branded cal-mag supplement (use when needed)
Grow Space 2 tents (each is 2.4 x 1.2 x 2.0)
Climate Control HPS light is cool-tube and attached directly to carbon filter and extraction; removing most heat; also have an intake for cool air to be pulled in from outside; have a 16" oscillating fan at canopy; and a 16" stand fan on floor; there is also a heater that is controlled via a custom switch I've made....? Added a small bag os Smart CO2 in; and seemed very good
Lighting start with 600w MH bulb and 2 smaller 400w LED at each end, then switch to HPS Multi Spectrum @ week 4, then to HPS Red Spectrum @ week 8 til end, also add 600w light in flower; run a Light Rail 3.5 in one of the two tents.
Lighting Schedule started @ 18/24 then switched to 24/24 (made a massive difference; seeing is believing)
Harvest take tops buds, then the rest a week later; fully manicure freshly cut; dry slowly over 2-3 week period.
Achieved 6oz per plant.
Will post an update for each week with photos very soon...
Here's one for the EC nerds like me, an EC/PPM graph for entire grow as shown above
