Hi there,
So old grower, first diary on GD.
A simple setup to run 5 different American strains, all to be found online. 2 seeds of each, all regular seeds, hopefully between 4-7 females, normal ratio here about 60% females.
All seeds were started in glasses of water for 24 hours, then 2 days in the seed germ box, actually my old lunch box, with a heatpad, then planted out in small containers to begin with.
Thankfully all the seeds germinated and are now 7 days old, from germ to current status, put them under a small Led lamp yesterday, a Mars Hydro TS 600, running at 83 watt, supposedly a 100 watt lamp.
I use 120mm PC fans(4 in total), hence they are cheap to run and dont take up that much space, as I will show later on, they do the trick in my experience.
Exhaust this time around will be my 280 cubic meter inline fan, passive intake from the back on the tent.
I use GHE nutrients, primarily for the last 4-6 weeks on flower, hence the soil is prefertilized and works well for many weeks, no PH adjustment.
Last time, I replanted the plants I had in flower, when they were in week 4 of flower, that gave them quite a boost, this will also be done this time round.
For the first 2 weeks, they will be under the small lamp, mentioned before, then in flower they will go under my QkWin 240 Watt Led lamp, cheesy name, but it does the trick and at 150 dollars, its cheap aswell.
Due to electric/power prices I monitor closely how much powerr is used, therefore the QkWin lights will run at 150 watts, not a lot, but enough, last run with 4 plants gave me 153,1 gram, which is fine and dandy.
A week from now, the plants will be repotted into larger containers(2 liter), when gender has been shown, I will add a drip watering system, Blumat Tropf, works great for people like me that cant do manually
watering successfullly.
Questions are more than welcome and now onwards and upwards.
