Hi all. Here I have 2 gorilla cookies by fast buds (on the left) and 2 back to the future #2 from tastebudzseeds (on the right). The diary will be for the 2 gorilla cookies on the left but you might see the odd pictures of the BTTF#2’s on the right.
I’m using a basic 80x80x160cm
(2.7ft X 2.7ft X 5.4ft),with a Mars hydro ts1000 150W LED lamp and a 4inch EC extraction fan hooked up to a rhino hobby 4inch filter with phonic trap ducting either end. The EC fan combined with phonic trap ducting really helps to keep the noise to a minimum which is an issue for me.
Also I have a basic clip on fan powered by usb from Amazon which is also quite quiet. Over all, a basic but sufficient setup for my current needs 🙂
The carbon filter and extraction fan are suspended from the top of the tent along with the light, and the clip on fan will be blowing horizontally across the canopy while the intake duct is directed to the bottom of the tent allowing cool air to mix into the warm air as it gets drawn to the top and then out through the carbon filter.
I’m using 12 Ltr fabric pots (3gal) with light mix and perlite. As light mix already has about 20-30% perlite I added around another 20ish% perlite to make the mix nice and airy allowing for better drainage and letting the root zone to breath easier.
The seeds were put into a cup of water to soak at around 22C (room temp) overnight and then planted straight into the soil the very next morning. The soil was pre watered with 24C water treated with eco thrive neutralise and with 2ml/L of biobizz root juice added to it (ph’d to 6.2). The environment stayed around 25C and about 65-70% relative humidity. I achieved this by dialling down the extraction to a low speed and using an economic 80w tubular heater on the floor in the tent.
2 days after plugging the seeds straight into the soil after a 12 hour soak, they have sprouted 🍻👌!
Thanks for checking out my diary!
I hope you come back to visit again 😎🍻 STAY LIT 🔥 (fat spliff emoji)
