NEED ADVICE!!! , I am completely new and this will be my first grow. I am planning on growing zkittles og auto.
I plan to test out 2 different setups with the same temp, 21-25 degree and humid at 65%. I will be using the papertowel germination method.
I will be using a coco+perlite mix with General hydroponics, the flora trio and calmag of some sort and a good root nut, desired ph level will be 6-6.2? And for the soil I'll be using the biobizz light fert mix with some seaweed and biobizz nuts + calmag, ph desired result will be 6.5ph as that what the soil is rated for. So, if you think either setup needs tweaking, please help?
My distilled water levels out between 6-6.2. the temp for both plants will be in 21-25 degree conditions, should I increase or decrease when in flowering stage? also humid conditions will be set at 65%. Can people help me to perfect this method or any input to increase yields. I'll also be doing lst and topping in the 3-4 weeks stage, lst will start earlier of course right? This will be my first ever grow. So, please be blunt, I've a thick skin, is this the right road to lead down, I know there will be other factors that will happen.
Oh and also for light exposure, I'm planning on doing a 24 hours for the first 3-7 days and then I'm going to swap to a 18/6 into the 2nd week. And depending on plant growth and reconmendations I'll decide when to switch it to 12/12 maybe after 5/6 weeks, and when ready to harvest I'll leave it in the dark for 36 hours? And I'll do a full flush 2 weeks before harvest. Let me know what you experts think? Feel free to message my profile as any help would be greatful and feel free to tell me I haven't a clue lol. Oh, and the kit I'm using is SF1000 LED KIT. Should I give full power from start to finish?
