xf_thc It took me 2 months to plan and assemble all the growth. I have already planted three times over 10 years in an amateur way, with poor results thanks to the poor lighting I used. This time I bought 2 LED lamps of 240W each, very good, this makes this my first experience in a professional way. As you can see in the photos, the air pump motors and the lamp drivers were left out of the grow, more specifically in the upper part. My led lights don't have ventilation, so I improvised with a 15cm exhaust that also helps to ventilate the led driver and the air pumps. That's because where I live it's hot and I don't have any cooling equipment. To control the timing of the leds, I preferred to use a Sonoff wifi controller. I am also using 2 air pumps with 2 outputs of 3 L/min which gives 12 liters of air per minute for each 20 liter bucket. The first 4 seeds were planted in rockwool with an approximate pH of 5.8 that was adjusted with vinegar and filtered water only. The 4 seeds didnt germinate, so I bought another 4 from other place and germinate im rockwool with ph 6.6 of tap water and tds with 18ppm. First try was on march 2023 and second try was on Jan 2024. Translate (Pt-Br): Eu demorei 2 meses para planejar e montar todo o crescimento. Já plantei três vezes ao longo de 10 anos de modo amador, com resultados ruins graças à poor iluminação que eu utilizava. Dessa vez comprei 2 lâmpadas de led de 240W cada, muito boas, isso torna essa a minha primeira experiência de modo profissional. Como podem observar nas fotos os motores das bombas de ar e os drivers das lâmpadas ficaram de fora do grow, mais especificamente na parte superior. Minhas luz de led não possuem ventilação, então eu improvisei com exaustor de 15cm que também ajuda a ventilar o driver de led e as bombas de ar. Isso porque aqui onde moro é quente e eu não tenho nenhum equipamento de resfriamento. Para controlar a temporização dos leds preferi utilizar um controlador wifi da marca Sonoff. Também estou utilizando 2 bombas de ar com 2 saídas de 3 L/min que dá 12 litros por minuto de ar para cada balde de 20 litros. As sementes foram plantadas no rockwool (lã de rocha) com pH aproximado de 5.8 que foi ajustado apenas com vinagre e água filtrada. As 4 primeiras sementes nao germinaram, então eu comprei mais 4 de outro local e germinei elas no rockwool com ph de 6,6 da água de torneira e tds com 18ppm. A primeira tentativa foi em março de 2023 e a segunda em janeiro de 2024.

xf_thc Only one seed germinated in two attempts of 4 seeds. This messed with my psychology. For a moment I questioned whether it was a sign or whatever. I was unsure whether I would try to germinate 3 more seeds of another species that I have avaible, however, I ended up receiving a tip to try just one with the ScrOG technique. For me it will be better, especially because of the legal issues. It might take a little longer but that's ok. I removed 3 buckets, concentrated all the air in one bucket, which quickly dropped the pH to 5.6, and then turned off half the air pumps. Let's see how this beautiful loner will do in this second week. Translate (pt_br): Apenas uma semente ter germinado, em duas tentativas de 4 sementes, mexeu com meu psicológico. Por um momento questionei se era um sinal ou whatever. Fiquei na dúvida se tentaria germinar mais 3 sementes de outra espécie, porém, acabei recebendo uma dica para tentar só uma mesmo com a técnica ScrOG. Para mim será melhor, até porque tem a questão legal. Talvez demore um pouco mais mas tudo bem. Removi 3 baldes, concentrei o ar todo em um balde, o que fez o pH cair rapidamente para 5.6 e depois desliguei metade das bombas de ar. Vamos ver como essa linda solitária se sairá nessa segunda semana.
