Everything’s new.

Hello This is my 4th diary entry and my 1st of 2022. I’m mixing things up yet again with changes, many changes. I use my office as a grow area, and I’ve been getting annoyed with the fan noise and smell while working. Due to this I’ve decided to down size from a 120-60 tent with a Mars Hydro Sp3000 to a custom stealth grow cabinet with a Mars Hydro TS1000 (new version) That’s the 1st change. It’s an ikea PAX wardrobe carcass with fully air tight seams. A 95CFM bathroom fan pulling into the top section via a 10cm - 35 cm carbon filter. Air is pulled though the main grow area via two 100mm silent usb pc fans. 100CFM combined. All fans are on independent speed controllers so I can balance the input/ output as needed. With all fans on full, it’s almost silent from 10 feet away and the grow area is airtight so any airflow is via the carbon filter. The 2nd change will be my grow medium. I usually use biobizz light mix but I’ve always had issue with the changeover from veg to flower on my auto grows. There isn’t enough of a buffer in the soil and the dip in nutrients has caused issues. Anyhow. I’m moving to 70% biobizz all mix in the bottom of the pot with light mix on the top couple of inches. initially the plant won’t be able to handle the full goodness so this will hopefully mean it will start in the low nutrient top layer and as it grows to need more nutrients it will have them available in the all mix layer. It may not work or it may not do anything but it’s worth a try. 3rd change I’ll be using the full suite of biobizz nutrients for the full grow. Usually I use part RQS and biobizz, so this time I’ll stick to one brand and one grow schedule, again, to mitigate this lull in nutrients at week 3-4. 4th change I’m sticking with RQS seeds by trying Watermelon auto and stress killer Auto. So, that’s my strategy for this grow. I’ll be keeping my bigger light and tend for other grows, but this is a side quest. I dropped my seeds into a paper towel today, and pre wetted the grow medium. Should get these guys in the cabinet by Wednesday 👍🏻
