Greetings AFN! This will be my first grow so any assistance or constructive criticism will be greatly appreciated. I spent a few months reading various grow journals and instead of following one particular journal I tried to incorporate techniques that I found promising along the way. I know as a beginner this is probably risky but I'm willing to take a few risks in the name of experimentation.
I will be growing 2 Automazars in 5 gallon Smart Autopots in a 4x2 grow tent. For lighting I'll be using a Mars Hydro 144 reflector running 24/7 which is drawing about 300w of actual power. My soil is a Hot soil based on Subcools recipe so I will only be using distilled water throughout the grow cycle. I will be starting them in the final 5 gallon pot but the first 21 days I will be hand watering before I switch the autopots on. I plan on fiming around day 14 to try and keep these girls low and I'll be using a low trellis netting for canopy control, some lst, minor defoliation, and an upper trellis for bud support. I'm using a 4" fan with carbon scrubber for ventilation and odor control, and a 4" inline fan bringing in fresh air. I'm also using a humidifier for increased airflow and to disperse the Exhale Co2 bag I will be using. I will also be using 2 x 8" fans for airflow. My temps are hovering around 83 degrees with a 50% humidity so for the next grow I will probably switch from 4" to 6" fans to see if I can get the temps a little lower but hopefully the conditions won't hinder growth.
On December 11 I put the seeds into a shot glass of distilled water for 12 hours and then switched to paper towels for an additional 12 hours. I then planted them in the final container before the tap root was exposed in an attempt to do as little damage as possible. I will update this post with pics every weekend.
Cheers!
