Hello all!
I wanted to gather as much information from you as well as seeking it out online before I presented my first grow journal. So enough with the chatter, let's get on with the setup.
I made a posting not too long ago about my soil, looking for advice. No one replied, so either not many has used this soil combination before, or are not aware of it. No worries, I guess no answer isn't a bad answer. Anyway I got a huge bag of Black gold coco coir, and I'm going to experiment with B & J's Super Soil. The vender who sold it to me said its like plant crack.
My plan is to layer the coco and the super soil separately. Coco on top, and so on. Since I am going directly to soil, I was advised not to start my seeds in the Super soil because the nutrients it contains may be too harsh for it to handle. I've researched the best seed starting mix and coco was the choice I made. I decided to not use any seed starting nutes, so at this point it's just the coco.
I bought three 5 gallon smart pots and they contain Blue Berry Bliss, AK 49, and +Speed.
I'm having a heating problem because my grow is out in my garage. A member suggested I purchase a tube heater, but that's not in my budget right now, so I went a little cheaper and brought a space heater with built in thermostat. To help with the heater I have a couple of blankets. If anyone else have any more tips and tricks, that would be greatly appreciated.
I'm using 450w quad band LEDs. My tent size is 2'x2'x4'. I have a exhaust fan, and the carbon filter is on its way.
Sorry for the photo trouble.
