Hey all. This is just an equipment schedule and initial propagation pictures. Much less about the plants and more about the automation and acclimation settings I will be running for this grow as I try to make things a little easier for myself and create a better environment for the ladies. All pictures will be the same across Entries for all 4 girls, so no need to look at it all. Cheers and here's the Deets:
**Standard Tent Equipment**
Unit Type:
-Mammoth Pro 120, 120x120x200cm
Extraction:
-390CFM Vivosun w/ inline variable speed control and carbon filter
Intake:
-390CFM Vivosun w/ inline variable speed control
Circulation:
-x2, 30cm tower fans (early propagation)
-x2, 90cm tower fans (late propagation)
-x2, Hurricane clip on fans (Throughout full Propagation)
-x2, Computer fans for supplementary air flow at floor level (Used as needed)
Heating (supplementary):
-”Heat Bud” by Honeywell. 2 setting ceramic heater (lights off operation)
Humidity:
-1 Gallon Ultrasonic Cool Mist by “Crane”
Misc. Material/Equipment:
- Large Variety of pots of different sizes, both fabric and plastics. (Future plans for Air pots)
-Ratchets, strapping, ties, cords, patch cords, splitters and power bars
**Control Devices and Operation**
Heating:
-x1, InkBird “Plug and Play WiFi Smart Controller” (ITC-308 WiFi) automation for extraction/intake air exchanges and temp control. (Current cycle: 3min exchange every 15min)
-x1, InkBird “WiFi Greenhouse Smart Thermostat” for supplementary heater on night cycles
Humidity:
-x1, InkBird “Plug and Play Humidity Controller” HTC-200-WiFi automation for cool mist humidifier. WiFi enabled for manual overrides.
Monitoring:
-x1, InkBird “IBS-M1-WiFi Gateway” Data and Device Hub
-x1, InkBird “IBS-TH1” Humidity and Heat Reader w/ Probe (High/Middle/Centre reader)
-x1, InkBird “IBS-TH1 Plus” Humidity and Heat reader w/ Probe (Low/Middle/Master reader)
Lighting and Misc Controllers/Devices:
-x3, Digital Titan timers
-x4, indoor/outdoor Humidity and Temperature readers (Close Proxy devices)
**Parameters and Monitoring (Vegetation)**
-Humidity will be achieved through automation and will hold 60-70% RH Vegetation/ 40-50% RH Bloom
-Heat (Day) will be achieved through automation, holding 24-26 degrees in Vegetation
-Heat (Night) will be achieved through automation, holding 23-24 degrees in Vegetation
-Circulation on 24/7 and adjusted as needed (Direction/Speed/Time)
**Flowering Parameters will be achieved and set to run at 23-25 degrees (Day), 18-23 degrees (Night) and a humidity range of 35-55%, pending on stage of Bloom**
Additional Notes
-Dual 4x4 tent units are acclimated and automated, same as listed above. The only minor difference is the exhaust and Carbon Filter in the Spider Farmer unit, but each motor is 390-410CMF and will operate at the same air pressure.
-New devices for acclimation and monitoring may be installed shortly. This may include a night vision camera (custom for grow applications) and/or mechanical/electrical interlocking between equipment/devices to ensure a smooth operating system.
-Not shown in pictures/videos sent are two locations. One is where I prep and mix nutrient feedings and the other is a propagation tent for new specimens (Mammoth 90x60x60cm).
-All devices and equipment are slaved off a Surge Protection Power Bar, rated for 1500W, with the Futur Vert build having a dedicated 15amp branch cct (Installed and tested by myself)
That's honesty it. Just Copy/Pasted between entries and I will not be doing a germination entry. Below I'll just write in method quickly...then leave it at that. Cheers all!👋
**Germination Method**
-No pre-soak, direct to moist paper towel
-Wait until 3/4 to 1 inch tap root and move direct to soil medium
-Roughly 24-36 hour until sown seeds pop through soil
-It's that easy... Peace!
you are always welcome... and its necessary to show mistakes,, and in besat cast the solutioms... growing is like life... sunny days and some days with blizzard and troubles
But thats the way we learn....
and there is enough to learn loool
@JinksyGrows,yes you can..........hydrofarm is $168 and its good enough.........considering that you just bought osram leds..........your electric bill will return your investment
@grzesiekkuzniak, LOL! Yep! I would love one but can't afford one. Hoping in the near future, as I keep testing systems, I can get my hands on an actual PAR meter and stop screwing around with ballpark conversions😅. For now I'm hoping to find someone local that I could just borrow one from here and there, lol. Soon!
Watering is really the hardest Part to do it right ....... for me it is like that........
Your Girls really love your Handling, thats easy to see
Kep it up... be a proud canadian and always pop some Seeds
@Mrs_Larimar, Besides seedlings I feel I'm getting better at watering! Now just gotta stop stunting the babies, hahaha. Happy to be Canadian and will keep poppin' and spreading the good word🙏.
@Mrs_Larimar, She's NUTS! She will be moved to her own unit now😂. No matter how many bends I put in and light I put on her, she's just growing out of control!! It's awesome to see and I can also see I will have to up my EC to provide... I'm legit excited😀
@TheUk420Show, Thanks man 💪. Really happy to have this beast. And thankfully no, this isn't the lamp from the contest. Happy to say that system is loooong gone now, hahaha😅👍.
Cheers and Merry Christmas 🎄🙏
@JinksyGrows, I'm doing supercrop on my plants when they stretch like this and they always stretch like this. but supercropped branches keep elevating :))
@HighRoller909, Holy crap man, too real with this one girl😬. She's under her own special lamp now in a tent by herself 😅😅. Gotta do what we gotta do. That or super crop. Hahaha.
@Polaskis, Put em' up! Both the Exotics love their lights man. Persistent prayers. Only now have they stopped a bit due to bud mass pushing them down, but that doesn't stop them from trying😀😅
@SuggaShane, No doubt man😅. Got nothing against the SF series, I really do love them, but this here is some crazy ass tech and is mostly sold/used in commercial LP's😂. Really gotta watch her intensity, especially with UVA. This lamp is actually for a 5x5 too, so there's definitely wasted potential. Probably could have done with the FM6, 480W, but this one allows me to expand without buying more systems👍. I talk to much today... Thanks man! Cheers, lol!
@Mrs_Larimar, Hahaha, you're totally right. Maybe take out the Mehs for a bit too. Nothing bad going on at all😉. I'll take the compliment !!🤣🤣🤣. You know me too well, I think, hahaha.
@SommerVirelli, Thanks man! Literally came in yesterday and I'm running the initial tests before hanging. Holy crap balls it's blinding😅😅😅. Can't wait to grow bigger now man. This lamp will be in a 4x4 but does fully cover 5x5 for veg and bloom😅. I have a dimmer, no worries, hahaha.
