Stealth aerogarden budget grow 70w total

Started grow in the aerogarden harvest led with nothing but the aerogarden light and a 5v usb airstone pump using the miracle grow nutrients and following the aero feeding schedule the resorvoir is 2.1litres which iv got 2 plants in it 1 was dr feel good and the hmbd silly of me using miracle grow but thats all i had to hand at start Not to forget its my 1st ever grow

Week 2 realised the neuts are crap and overfeeding them due to me going off aerogarden schedule which was 8ml in 2l resoir full strength basically and iv come to learn that you not need to feed autos a full strength so i cut it down to a 1/4 strength and added 5x50cm 5050 5-1 red blue strips powered by 30w driver which also powers fans

Realised that the roots are not getting enough oxygen so added a bigger pump and changed neuts to advance nutrients micro grow bloom at 150ppm with phd water at 5.7 plants look stressed flushed water started at the end and i was using citric acid to ph down ph kept going up to 7.5+ Invested in ph up ph down towirds the end of week 3 but the damage was done plants look drowned and root zone unhealthy and alot of it was damaged too whilst cleaning resorvoir From the gunk left from miracle grow liquid feed

Started a little lst started researching why my plants look unhealthy found these articles which helped bought the hobbyist bundle of advance neuts and they did help the plants look better root zone looking better and exploding the plants showed real restitance to stress took all the amateur shit i done and now looking better but due to me stressing them not really running to schedule all me to blame but the way they are coming back they be ok i only bought the hobby bundle due to overthinking me having small yield and where ever i read stating you need at least 150w light to get a oz and iv only got whats meant to be 50w in total so i thote atleast theyl get fed and they have had a bad start id daily check resoirvoir for ppm and ph and adjust by droping a drop straight into resorvoir to adjust ph level and mainly sticking to ph and flushing res using hydrogen peroxide and new neute mix my ph level only kept going up never down but the ppm feed level always was about right to that chart in photo

Plants really begining to show breeder qualities just exploding just cant believe that these babies the just growing because I originally reading and thinking about it didnt think they would make and and outside the pc case grow thing it was -2 but inside the temp always hovered between 19-23c and the humity was around 50 added a usb fan for more circulation but HIMALAYAN BLUE DIESEL JUST looking like a beauty getting hard to manage the growth so tucking daily flowers everywhere but at this stage im thinking will the light be enough just thinking that over and over iv had to add a heat mat to keep the temp up its cold outside the carbon filter working well but the aroma is not strong yet but there is a blueberry aroma inside the grow box i was using a cocktail like 1ml micro 1mlgrow 1ml bloom and about 1/4ml each of vodoo and i think b52 followed there feeding (advance nutrients) but nowhere near full dose trying to only keep it 100-300 according to week 1 and not these pic what i mean so bare in mind

At the start of this week i added a 20w cfl warm white bulb to hit other side and the fact that im using a 15w heat mat mite aswell use a 20w bulb il have heat and light no brainer of the plant took screen off due to me keep breaking branches and leafs trying to keep tight but its hard to manage in such small space but the plant look like they on steds still following a/n feed schedule but not giving grow part of the mix i figured grow doesnt have cal mag so dont need it just micro and bloom and i think at this stage it was b52 n big bud basically follow there schedule with additives and my own just trying to go off them charts iv got in pics in 1 of the weeks roots really massed up i begining to wonder should i have 2 plants in this small resoirvoir going against everything every1 says but i thought f**k it i aint got no choice and these plants are bloody strong theyve took everything i threw at them now the humidity was geting higher by the day

At this point i have no control they just shooting up getting bigger at this point i was thinking man these buds look small are the ever gona get any bigger thinking negative that i messed up every1 was right too less light too small resoirvoir but i kept faith in shortstuff seeds thought nah the positive reviews i read cant be wrong its gona doo it fingers crossed i have damaged many branches trying to lst them but being fat fingered small space not a good combo but all i can say this little beaut was a survivor nothing could stop it still following advance nutrients schedule but my own spec ppm and noticed that the ph would still go up even tho i was using ph perfect technology roughly 1ml-2ml of base nutrients and under 1ml of additives basically keeping the ppm between 200-1000 ppm start to finish

At this point i cant but help breaking brances split a bud branch sometime in the last weeks just seen so decided to chop it iand give it a trim lower fan leafs cause its getting hard to control there the buds are fattening up but im still thinking that small yeild the more i think the more negative i thought because im doing everything your not meant to to a auto but i read somewhere breeder quality matters and i hands down i believe that this breeder provided me with the best seeds and genetics the hmbd is from a mix 5seed fem pack from shortstuff seeds and dr feelgood i ordered plants just getting bigger and bigger i smoked the bud forced dried and believe me it was good i could taste blues kush and diesel couldnt believe it i just couldnt wait to harvest and smoke proper cured and matured chronic the humidity was very high in the 70s with mold and damp remover them disposable thing and btw the plant smelt pukka with like a blue and diesel mix i cant explain how nice it was i wanted to eat it cant wait at this stage

Iv flushed it with hydrogen peroxide and gave it tap water my tap water is 40-50ppm i used it through seed to harvest not adjusting ph anymore but oh my these last 2 weeks the plant has put serious size on there about 4 thick cola tops that look promising but top of plants touching aerogarden hood so bending then daily and tucking trimmed sum leafs back and trried to get light distribution to all the lower buds but smells so fruity and nice i pinched another bud due to me damaging brances but in the last ten gone thick checked the pinched buds under a jewelry lupe and not many cloudy trics but still got me high couch locked and but this time the buds were dried over 2-3 days and the same grow box humidity still way to high but plants look healty

From seed to harvest in 68 days photos dont do it justice the plants suffered alot of stress due to my inexperience but delighted to get 29g dry off hmbd and 6gish off dr feelgood in the same resoirvoir and a total usage of 70w for full set up the dr feelgood didnt yeild so much due to root rot cause lack of oxygen but all in all im impressed 70w usage over a oz of hmb of coffee shop looking and tasting taste pukka smell unique like blueberry and diesel left that nice taste I was high like the haze family not like the usuall blueberry that doesnt get you high truely amazed how this turned out for my 1st grow will post the feelgood diary soon will 100% only use shortstuff seeds cant wait to get the shortstuff haze wonder how strong will that be considering this is as the import haze i get local 29g for me was enough probly last me a month and 2weeks so happy days i made some cannaoil outa the trimming and that was super strong the trics were 70cloudy and about 10% clear and about 10% amber i just couldnt wait to chop since i had tastes the bud i would highly recommend it great for stealth and believe me as strong as anything i have smoked00
