Not a lot to say about the week, bought an aero kit for my spare room, so when I built my cellotex house around my 1m tent I was left with a new room of approximately 1200mm2.
So thought I would make use of this and start an aeroponic grow, please have a look at my other diary.
I planted all the rest of my free seeds I got when I ordered the seeds for this grow, have Skywalker cookies, Girl Scout cookies and Dr lemon by Dr Ray.
Lets see how we get on.
Oh,
Just a footnote, I have been checking my water quality and levels, generally I fill a 5L container and leave to stand for a few days before using it in front of my radiator, primarily to reduce chlorine but also to heat the water up a fraction so I am not going my babies a cold shower, they are getting a tropical downpour..
Generally sticking to 5.5-6.5 for my PH levels, which I check before I add notes, usually the notes bring it down a fraction more so I normally aim for between 6 and 6.5, by the time I add nutrients it knocks it back down to 5.5-6.
I am sure this is different for every nutrient mix so please check your own and don't blindly follow the blind...x
There's not really a lot to say about this week, sat my seeds on wet tissue with a wet tissue duvet over them in a nice warm dark place. took a few days to grow a shoot, only just bought a full new rig so the weekend was spent putting up my tent, sorting out the fans and extraction, ordering a few other essentials I think I am going to need such as a thermometer, hygrometer, jewelry loupe, syringes, tower fan..in no particular order there, just bits I missed at the grow shop or weren't included.
It cost me £730 for 1mx1mx2m tent, 300w led, 2 fans, ducting, carbon filter, some straps, feed and extra nutrients, fabric pots, Cana pebbles and Coco coir, heavy duty timer, ph kit and a 1mx1m tray for the bottom of the bud box.
Anyway, seeds were planted in today and started on light straight away on an 18 cycle, I screwed up and cracked 10 seeds, only meant to do 9 (max tent allowance I think) although looking at it already I know I am going to be pushed for space despite my intention to top and LST.
So, this is mainly for me to keep track of my head .... if you are here reading, thats cool and if you have any questions or suggestions, feel free...
