SO wohoo, officially season 21' starts! 1st diary. I built this awesome Germ/Veg box out of a few black and yellow HD bins. I had a bunch of extra lights from a few previous jobs.so I decided to build my own diy led board. I've seen Gromies in the past use CFLs for the same purpose. So I decided what the heck 14x 16w(100w) bulbs later. I've got roughly 224w's in a 24"x14" space. I'm pretty sure there is ample for what I plan to use this for. As work picks back up due to covid ill keep expanding. Soon to purchase a 4'x4'x80". debating on lights for that space. I will be starting a multi strain diary once ol snail mail delivers the new genetics :). Appreciate GL everyone
Transplanted from tray into 3gal sip. Total test run. Hope it works as planned!
I’m considering adding an air stone into the water reservoir. Wonder if it’s been done.
Good to see temps are high but stable. working on upgrading to a 6” fan for the box. Also need a swamp cooler for garden area,as outside temps are already 75*+
will be finding a way to route the heat completely out of the area.
Not sure if the wicking is working correctly or not. Time will tell. It’s been over a week and think we are smooth sailing from here.
Res. Originally took 2.5 gal of h2o to fill res/absorb into “dry” lower bits.
Feed the pot for the first time yesterday a total of one gal. Getting just to below my drain hole.
Not sure how the feeding should go with this set up so we’ll see.
Starting off at 50% strength recommended by Ff.
Pretty cool. I hope for strong happy and healthy grows. I say go fro the 4x4 tent it was my best choice from all my tents so far. Good luck stay safe happy growing cheers!!!!!
@KamFam17, I have 5 plants in 5 gallon pots in a 4x4 but they are not clones and are also trained differently so lots of different things to consider but they use all the space in the tent. The best bud is a happy healthy and strong plant from start to finish. Good luck stay safe happy growing cheers!!!!!
@HAPPY91,
Idk what combo I’m going to run first, but only starting with 2.
With the limited veg space, and the shorter cycle periods I want. They’ll go directly from germ tray into 3gal sip pots, That’s the purpose of this run right now. Testing the waters. Literally. With these bag seed FF seeds. So who truly knows if that’s what they are. Looks and effects matched strain info. Lol any ways
Being said I don’t have veg space I’d like to go from clone to flower, keeping the 4x4 on 12/12 and feeding 2clones/ in the 3gal sips every other week or so.
Am I out of room with say 6 3gal from clone in there at a time?
@KamFam17, If I had to make that choice I would go with electric sky but also take in consideration HLG just a preference. What size pots will you be using for them? It may get a bit stuffy in the tent.
