Hello and well i have other threads i have made about questions and answers and well i got what i needed

so i will start by saying that good or bad advice is welcome but please explain why i did wrong or what i should do better

water is bottled water for the first week 2 week witch its going on now i will correct this later but
i added the dirty dozen nutriments everything i saw that had high in N i added it and read up on the other things root drench etc and it seem to be ok

the feeding cycles are weird i don't know how to read it correctly lol 12 weeks huh

feeding cycle : i will be using the dirty dozen from fox farm soil as well

soil : fox farm ocean forest and fox farm happy frog few plants are in ocean forest and few more in happy frog i also to try and see what does what and i took one plant and added both soil mixtures

pots : i use the recycle super airpots 1 gallon

lights i have 2 led lights at swat chips one is mars hydro the other one is from hydroponicgroup
i also have 2 t5 or t12 lights long ones as well these i will set up in the corners if possible

temps and humidity : temps are a steady 70 -80 no higher humidity is 40 to 55 it depends on the day and if i leave the door open to my box humidity goes back up

update : will be getting a co2 tank with a regulator soon . If 1 plant takes in 1500 ppm rite should i
do as many plants as i have in the grow box meaning 1500ppm x 6 plants ? for example
6 plants x 1500 = 9,000 do i pump that much into there or

next question do i just adjust it at a certain co2 level when the humidity reaches ?

also my ph water i also have air stones in my water to help give it c02

the air stones do i leave it running all day ?or like few hrs before i go to feed them

idk if this is rite but once i added the nutriments to a new gallon of water it was at like 6.5
it looked like piss a bit lol i do have ph up and down

how bad do i need a ppm meter when do u normally need it now or after veg

seeds : i will be adding the names i have started out with soon when i update some are autos
some are photo

if there is anything i forgot i will post it here or make a new post on my thread
i will be uploading some pictures in a few days when things here settle down and i can be able to take my time and not rush

if there is anything anyone wants to say please i don't mind if there is something I'm missing let me know ill try and help people out as much as i can as well and do reviews on the things i have used with this grow smoke up homies
 
To run CO2. you need to run a sealed room. 1500 ppm is too much you run around 1200 ppm max as tests have shown above 1200 ppm, these is little gain. The ppm figure is the amount in the air in the room/tent, not per plant. You also will need to run temps of 80-85F when using CO2,

If your oxygenating your water, a run the airstone for a few hours before watering. A ph of 6.5 is fine, keep it between 6.5 and 7.0 for growing in soil.

Can't help you with the nutes, I stay away from bottled nutes mostly and run organic.
 
yeah at this point i cant do much about making my own compost and teas as well i see full duplex has something going on with his and it does fine from what others have said thanks again for taking the time out to answer my questions

well this is what i have i keep saying i will post pics how ever i have been busy with a lot of other things just getting back into a new place is kinda hard but hey who said life was easy rite ok so far the only thing i see on my lil girls are s lil cute burn after i transplanted the germinated seeds the shell or something covered them enough to were just one or 2 plants are burned a lil bit

how ever from the feeding cycle with the fox farm nutriments i saw them get like 1cm by the end of the next day witched shocked me my other plants weren't growing as good as how these started out it was always a 2 week process

now with the humidity too low etc too high i under stand it but i have pushed heat that comes in from the floors and that its for the whole house then i have a window a/c unit as of for rite now once i have everything set rite i will just go out on the web or in stores and buy everything same day i don't like doing 1 here etc n there


also idk if i said this before but i have a carbon filter with inline fan its 4 inches i think i think its a ok size for the box and prob 1 or 2 big plants but i will post soon when things die down a bit and i get my ducks in a bunch lol
 
i mean i do have the go box from general hydroponics i heard that was close to organic as well if u know anything on that or a thread or link i like to read thats all i do other then not stop talking i just feel so much for plants and life its medical that heals
 
With CO2 also, you can run higher humidity. I see some guys using CO2 running with 70% humidity. I personally would keep it below 60% RH
 
yeah i have to get co2 in there soon something happened like a fool i threw my plants out but i have new ones going and will update on this grow things got a lil hectic but tmw i will post what i have going again
 
now my humidity is low it stays around 30 I'm thinking of getting a humidifier they have one in walmart for 20 bucks should i go get one for time being will it help the plants grow better from germination and sprout ? or do they use it a bit more down the line
 
CO2 after they have some size to them, say leaf span as wide as the pot, then it will be used efficiently.

now my humidity is low it stays around 30 I'm thinking of getting a humidifier they have one in walmart for 20 bucks should i go get one for time being will it help the plants grow better from germination and sprout ? or do they use it a bit more down the line
 
like i promised here is the starting point the grow box it self and the 4 seeds i have planted my humidity is a bit low stays around
21 low high 34 today but normally is a 30

rite now for them being seedlings how good or bad is this when will i really need to get my humidity up at what point in the seeds life should i do so

yes i know the lights are not level to each other i can do a minor fix for that for now till i get more hooks or the system that is inplace fixed or more to add

i know others have a different processes on when to feed your young ones but i started my autos out this one since the other first set i started i had problems but how ever i started all theses in ocean forest soil and gave them nutes with in few days of seeing the starter set of leaves i only have 4 for now will be doing a few more in another 2 weeks or less hopefully so i can stagger my environment

i have a temp and humidity gauge inside one rite next to the fan coming in reason begin to see if temps are different from above the lights i also have a cheap one above at the top idk if i should keep one in the box and one on the outside how ever I'm always in the room where i have my plants so i keep the door open so the cool air from the a/c unit hits it heat comes from the floors pushed in heat anything i haven't said or maybe u see a flaw please tell me or any tips and advice good or bad

with having both these lights up should i move the plants around every day so this way they all get the same type of exposure

what i mean is the one i got online the mar hydro one it seems really cheap and i think i even see some yellow in the lights lol
how ever with this set up this size of a box should i get more led lights ?

i will be putting long t5 or t12 lights 2 of them in the corners

would having cfl in there too be good or should i go and get another led or 2 ?

i think if it was me i would add2 more led lights 4 t5 or t12 lights

this way each corner has light idk if I'm over doing it with lights or what

i just want the best for my girls i spent a lot of money and time

this is my first official grow i can say i will be doing from start to finish with no problems every other grow i ever done i never got to see my final product i hope u guys and girls like the pics and gives u an idea of what my set up consist of i also have a bible point system comes with everything needed for that i gave my nutriments away to a buddy for helping me

now would it be smart to even touch that even tho i like soil and feel better with soil

any questions about the box or my set up or anyone needs help i don't mind send me a pm here or something and i will try and help

thanks in re turn people and pop22 lol
