Beginning of week 3 and she's coming along nicely, have slightly increased nutrients to 3.5ml per litre once a week. Soil is drying a hell of a lot quicker now I have added the perlite so hopefully no root rot like I think may have been the problem with the strawberry cough in my other diary.
Because you don't have that much room (same as me) I would advise you moving the Carbon filter outside the box if you could? Then for the next time you run a grow you would be able to ditch the scrog and just LST, I can only imagine watering is a bitch in your grow space. The next thing you could do to make watering easier is; get a long flat tray and have it set on a slight tilt so the water runs down it towards the door of the grow room. At the end of the tray you place a bucket or another low rimmed tray to catch the water running off the plants. If I could draw a picture for you I would. Your setup looks awesome though im sure you will be totally fine. I will follow along aswellππΌ
@PharmaZ, yeah I need to get one of those, at the moment I just have a computer fan drawing the air out through the filter and another drawing fresh air in.
That's it for this grow tho the misses won't let me spend any more cash on it till this one is done.
Micro growing is defiantly the way forward for anyone with space issues and now there are so many LED lights on the market heat isn't a problem.
The aim for me is to be self sufficient, never buy weed again!! ππΌππΌππΌπ³π³π³
@LouShott, that's right all trial and errorππΌ I've made a lot of errors haha
CFM stands for cubic feet/min also the name given to the typical fans used with carbon filters at least that's what myself and everyone I know calls them (CFM fans). You should buy one based on the size of the area you have to grow.
It's always going to be a mess I'm afraid, reason for that is as you move things around and get better at growing your plants will grow bigger, fatter and bushier meaning you still won't have enough room when you grow "micro" π
@PharmaZ, yeah it is all a bit trial and error at the moment, I think you are definitely right tho!
The only reason the skunk #1 is on another pot is to bring it up to the same height as the Strawberry cough which I started well before!
It is all a bit of a mess but next time is gonna be better for sure!! ππΌππΌ
What's CFM?
Nice looking grow, love the homemade box, very clean design!. I do think that you're going to be quite pressed for vertical room during flower, which will make it tough to regulate temps and humidity, for your next grow check out HLG's 90w Quantum light, its very low profile and should provide plenty of light for flowering two plants in that space. Best of luck and happy flowering!
Looking good. I'm curious to hear how this smokes. I have been trying to find a good traditional skunk but they all seem to have a lot of fruity or piney flavors mixed in anymore...
Nice work on the grow box. Keep up the great work.
