New Grower Red`s AutoUltimate,first grow journal.

[redrobbo]

I think its high time i did a grow journal on AFN,and put a little back into these great forums where i have learned so much.
And hopefully much,much more to learn.
Today i popped a single DP Autoultimate fem. straight into a small coco plug,it is now sitting in my my heated propogator
which is inside my small veg cab,in darkness for now.
She will eventually go into a 10l airpot with 50/50 coco perlite,plus i added 15% worm castings and a little bit of kelp meal.
Also dolomite of lime for cal/mag supplement at this stage.
Eventually she will be fed multiple times a day with a timed diy drip system.
Not much to see but i think i have to prove i am growing a Dutch Passion seed with a pic of DP packet as part of the deal to get a DP avatar badge,lol.
I will update this grow regular coz basically ive got nowt better to do,lol.
Any comments or advice is welcome,happy growing y`all.

Thanks for dropping in Sirius,I have 2x300w led units,one is a Vipar 300 reflector the other is a Houyi 300w flowering panel.
I have36w led and30w cfl in red and blue spectrums for side lighting.
I am growing in a 3`x3`x5`4" grow tent with 4" extractor fan on a thermostat and a 4" intake that pulls air thro my veg cab
and into my tent.I use the silver ducting from veg cab fan to tent and it acts as an air mover,as i dnt have any fans atm only a box full of busted ones.The led units help move air about too.Temps are usually in the high 70s but we are having a warmish spell in the UK atm and i let temps go into low 80s before extractor comes on.
I will only use water and a bit of rhizotonic and cannazyme for the first 3 weeks or so as the worm castings i added to my coco get seedlings off to a great start.
Once the roots have developped enough i will put them on to multi feeds daily with myDWC drip system.
I will be using GH3part (non organic)as nutes when the wc`s run out.Should be about week3-4 when castings run out of steam.
Its not recommended to use organic nutes with DWC as they can clog pumps up,but i think Biobizz micro and bloom can be used in DWC now,not sure tho.
Thats about it Sirius,and by far the longest post ive put on AFN,i need my inhaler to get my breath back,lol.
If theres owt else,ask away mate.
Thanks for the interest.

Welcome Jax,im chuffed you found me pal.
This will only be my 2nd grow with my diy drip system,so still a bit experimental atm.
