High everybody
I just thought this would be a good time to get my next grow log going..seeing as I have germinated four Auto's (for the record I am stopping Autos and making a new grow room, but finishing out my seeds in my old cab which will become my veg room).
So this is the basic setup:
80x120x1800cm cupboard
1x250w HPS (+an extra 70w LED for flowering)
4x Hempy bags (made from regular black 'grow bags' with holes on the sides)
1xBig Bang
1xDutch PassionThink Different
1xSAD auto
1xBuddha seeds Buddha Auto
All seeds were germed in rockwool between two bowls on top of a heater within 24 hours had popped and 48 hours had shot out the rockwool. This is my first experience germinating seeds this way, and was a little worried it wasn't a good idea but they all worked out perfectly.
I used grow bags I found at the Hortishop that have holes on the sides...was worried they were too low down but they do work at creating a res so it seems like it should work perfectly, I hope..I couldn't find any info on using these in place of buckets but the theory doesn't change. The reason I wanted to use bags is they are the perfect shape for my cab, which when I was using Autopots I had room for two plants but because these are cylindrical, also 8L I can get 4 in the same space...so I'm hoping my 250w will be okay, I just haven't had money for an upgrade just yet.
Anyways I popped the rockwool into the perlite/vermiculite bags on Sunday night and put them in the cupboard, and Monday morning they had turned green and popped out the medium. Been growing very nicely since then, will put pics up later or tomorrow of the little ladies.
Some help I would like to ask for, is if anyone else has used BioBizz nutes for hydro, or Autos more specifically (as they are usually very sensitive) and what your feeding schedule was like, I have varied it, but usually have not used a totally inert medium so the plants haven't needed food early, and I'm worried I should have started feeding already..even if a very light mix? I have put Mycoroot into the medium (very good for hempy method apparently) and watered with a light Kelpak mix two days ago which seems to have done them some good..problem is it's become such a user specific grow, being auto and hempy so may be hard to get advice, but any would be very welcomed!
Just wondering if I should drop organic nutes/BioBizz, as I always seem to struggle with them, as Agito knows...but should I just use chem nutes like a GH range? Would hempy buckets be more forgiving with my nutes?
Please let me know any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
On that note, sorry for the long absence but forgot my password and then had to shut down my grow for a few months..
Anyway will post pics later this eve/tomorrow.
Thanks!
