Auto Seeds Wild Bill's All AutoSeed Grow!

[WildBill]

First of all, I want to give thanks to Seb for giving me this opportunity to grow his fire girls!

There will be four different strains: Sweet CBD, Auto Moonrocks, Godfather OG and Mango Cookies.

I want to try and make this the best auto Grow I've had! I've made quite a sizable investment in new media, lighting, and watering system.

There's going to be a lot of new things to me in this grow! I'm really excited about trying these new things!
All girls will be grown in 15 gallons Grassroots Living Soil Pots with BAS 3.0 being the media. They will be watered by BluMat - Automated Watering system and the moisture levels will be monitored, deep and shallow, by Ecowitt Products.

I will also be Testing under Canopy lighting with lights from Craft Farmer.

And for my gorilla 3x3 tent, I recently purchased a MarsHydro FC3000-EVO With MarsHydro supplemental lighting of UVA and Deep Red.

Plans were to start this week, but a family loss has postponed that. I should be beginning it on the 13th.

Godfather OG and Mango Cookies, 2 each, will go into the 4x4 tent. Since they are the reported biggest ones, they should be the ones to get the under canopy lighting test.
Each supplemental light is one hundred and twenty watts! With the HLG DIABLO 650R and HLG UVA, Once in flower, there will be 890 watts available for the full light cycle and 40 watts of the UVA two hours mid cycle. With this particular UVA light fixture, two hours seem to be adequate mid Light cycle. With that much thermal load, I may need to add another exhaust fan, but use this one to give a positive air flow into the tent.

Sweet CBD will be getting the 3x3 tent by herself. With the supplemental deep red and MarsHydro FC3000-EVO , she will see 330 watts of power throughout the light cycle. The UVA will be run in flower at three hours midnight cycle. All lighting in that tent is controlled by AC Infinity Smart controller, along with the exhaust fan.

Auto Moonrocks, 2 each, will go into the 2X4 tent with the Morris Hydro SP3000 with Mars Hydro Adlite R55 Deep Red.

More about the Grow when I sprout the seeds!

Well today I'm going to begin a little bit of reorganization. My first thing to do is clear an area that I can place the new media so I can get it reasonably up to temperature. I've had it stored out in the shop.
While they are warming up, the grow room will get a thorough cleaning and then there are quite a few things I have to reorganize to accommodate the new automated watering. Since Mars Hydro failed to Provide a small electrical opening at the bottom of their 2X4 tent, I'm going to have to make provisions for the water supply . I guess the easiest thing to do would be to heat something something metal and just melt a whole through the tent and then come back with tape and probably just cut a slit in the tape to get the hose through. There's not gonna be enough light going through with the hose coming around the backside to worry about.
I don't have two reservoirs, one for the two small tents and one for the 4x4 tent. I currently have my worm bin where I plan to put the reservoir. I also have my CO2 behind the 4x4 tent. I may have to move my bottle and controller to the front of the tent if I can find a place. It would definitely help get it out of the way with all the other things back there, since I will be going back behind the tent quite a bit more often now. I wish that I had kept notes on the actual loads on the circuit that the 4x4 tent is running on. All I did was checked and confirmed that it was well under the max load that I wanted to have. With the additional under canopy lighting I do have to take that into consideration.

The walk in closet will need to be reorganized also. That's where I will be running the 2.3 X2.3 tent. That's where I will be finishing out the big girl out of the volunteer pot and then later for various other little small projects that I can do in that tent. Mainly seed making. That's only going to be used during the cooler months, since I do not have a way to cool that area.

I'm hoping that I can drop seeds by the weekend! Hopefully the bag media will be warm by that time. To keep consistency camera I'm going to have to bring in my big totes And use them to bring up the media to the proper moisture level. I'm not going to pot up until either a day before or the day of change planning the seedlings that I'm sprouting in the humidity dome. I want the seedlings to hit the ground running. The water that I will be using to bring up the moisture content will have Rootwise and other soluble mycos. Other than a little water to settle the transplants, I shouldn't have to water the girls for at least a week. I'll probably have to have one small watering before I can turn on the automated watering. I expect to be able to do that probably between 14 and 21 days, probably more toward the latter. That's definitely going to have to be played by the ear and on the fly.

I'll only have one pot with moisture monitors. One will be deep and the other will be surface, so I'll have to install the deep one at the time of potting up.
I'll be using the preset Blumat 9" Sensor and Blumat Drip Ring for all seven pots. Being preset it will help with the fine tuning.
@Cultivators
Anybody that's used the Blumat system, I'd appreciate any input that you may have.

I hope that I can pull this off with all the new stuff I'm doing!
