New Grower MrGoat 1st Journal, 1st Indoor Grow

[HushHush]

Greetings all, there is a great deal of knowledge here on AFN, I hope I can contribute a little bit along the way. I have a few outdoor grows, first venture indoors.

Tent: Melonfarm Grow Tent 48x24x60
Lights: HI-SDard LED 600 Watt Full Spectrum - Veg, Bloom and Flower modes
KingBo UFO LED 50 Watt panel
2 x LED 5000K (100 watt equivalent)
Ventilation System > to be added in next week.

Dutch Passion: 3 x Auto Blackberry Kush
Cream of the Crop: 2 x Cash Crop Auto
Pyramid Seeds: 1 x Polar Express Auto

Pots: All are in 2 gallon felt pots except 1 BBK which is in a 3 gallon.
Medium Coco Coir, Perlite, Vermiculite and Mushroom Compost
*** 3 of the above also have Guano mixed in as well.

Started Germination on late 12/5/2017 after 32 hours all seeds showed roots. Transplanted to cups on 12/07. All popped the soil on 12/08, listing 12/08 as Day 1. Put in seedling tray under
2 x LED 5k bulbs and Kingbo 50 Watt.

12/09 - moved all seedling cups to tent. 600W is in Veg mode

12/10 -12/12 moved all seedlings to pots. 3 of 6 have guano mixed in:
Cash Crop [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG], Blackberry Kush [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG] and Blackberry Kush [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG]

Current Nutrients - rotating:
-Canna Rhiztonic
-Recharge, SuperThrive
-Canna Coco A & B
-CalMag

Temperature is ranging between 71 & 79, Humidity 60-70%

I will also write up a review for the HI-SDard LED at the end. So far, plants seem to be thriving.

Watching this closely as I'm switching to coco in the new year. Good luck, though with the advice here I'll doubt you'll need it

On Day 14, so far I am pretty impressed with the Hi-Sdard 600W LED, which is currently 20" above the plants, Running in Veg mode. I turned the Kingbo UFO 50W off a couple of days ago, I will turn it back on when flowering starts and use as a side panel. Plant growth seems vigorous to say the least, the growth rate is just too cool.

Any red light currently in the tent is from the 12w LED bars I have mounted on corner poles. I have 2 5K LED bulbs (daylight) on the sides but I have not noticed the slightest bend toward them. All plant focus is on the 600W and at 20" I the LED is covering the 4x2 area well. The Hi-Sdard has a daisy-chain connection, definitely thinking of getting a 2nd in the near future. All metal, the fan system is extremely quiet and does not generate a lot of heat.

Looking stellar bud!

On Day 18. I am seeing some really nice undergrowth even before I started LST on a couple, which I am thinking is due to the side lights. *Note to self, next cycle use 3 gallon pots*
Also mixed in additional Mushroom Compost to topsoil of each. I am a big fan of the MC, grows anything big.
Still rotating into feeding (I premix a 5 day batch of each at one time - keeps me on protocol)
- Canna Rhiztonic
- Canna Coco A & B
- Recharge, Super Thrive & Kelp
- CalMag
- *Started rotating a very very small amount of Fox Farms Grow Big -- 1/8 of normal dose*

For outdoors during flowering, I have had good results using Fox Farms Big Bloom, Flower Fuel and Big Bud, I think I am going to stick with these for now. Maybe add Canna Boost in next cycle on a couple and compare against Flower Fuel/Big Bud.
Ventilation system should arrive later in the week, went with a Vivosun 203 CFM kit.

Day 23 - The really nice under and side growth continues. I did not top any the plants, instead LST'g the hell out of them.
Next grow round, will try topping a few.
CCA-1 and the Auto Polar Express, i have only tied off limbs. The stalks are just too short, the CCA-1stalk is super thick also.
CCAA-1is 7" tall and 18" wide.
Pics are opposite sides of CCA-1.

Auto Blackberry Kush [HASHTAG]#3[/HASHTAG] is also responding to the LST nicely. Actually pushing up on 3 limbs as there is no room to pull down.
ABK-3 23 days
