Greetings All.
Have avoided doing a diary for my first few runs. I’m in prohibition land & It was hard enough talking my Mrs into letting me have a home grow in the first place let alone broadcast my goings on all over the internet
But… here I am just starting grow number 4 & I keep running into the same issues/limitations so, with a little encouragement from a fellow AFN member, I’ve decided to just go ahead with one. Hopefully I’ll learn a few things along the way & step up my game a bit ☺
Set up
Tent: 70 x 70 x 150 (cm) BlackOrchid ‘Hydro-box’.
Light: Invisible Sun ISH 240H (240watt) With ‘R-Strip’ (60watt) - 300watts total but I have the dimmer on the main light dipped down so total draw from the wall is roughly 200watt… It was too hot in my little tent to run at full power.
4inch fan/filter
4inch active air intake
Inkbird humidity controller
2 x 5inch fan. One for the canopy, one above the lights.
Genetics:
I’m running 3 x Oragnge Sherbet & 3 x Wedding Cheese Cake. Both from Fastbuds.
Media:
As a little experiment (and to make life harder for myself), I’m running 2 different soils this time.
The Orange Sherbet will go in my ‘usual blend’ which is 70/30 mix biobizz light/Canna Coco Coir on the top and 70/30 BatSpecial from House & Garden/Canna Coco Coir for the bottom layer. Both the top & bottom layers have had Eco Charge (insect frass with light N-P-K) mixed through.
The 3 Wedding Cheese Cake are in 70/30 Biobizz light/Canna Coco Coir with Eco Charge mixed through. No “top & bottom” layer, Just the same soil mix throughout.
I have 2 x 4gal fabric pots & 4 x 3gal fabric pots. Each strain will be in 1 x 4gal & 2 x 3gal.
That’s 6 plants total.
Nutrients:
Predominately BioBizz inputs:
Grow
Bloom
Top max (while it lasts)
Acti-vera
Alga-mic
Heaven
My root juice is from Plant Magic.
Cal/Mag from TNC
Also, weekly doses of “Real Growers Re-charge”, A Fungal/microbial inoculant.
Soils were pre soaked & left under the lights to warm up for 24hrs before planting. Meanwhile, seeds were left soaking .
Seeds in soil on: 6.6
All seeds up & ready to run: 8.6 (U.K calendar so that’s 2 days not 2 months )
