All,
Been a lurker for awhile and have gained lots of great info from the people here. Thank you all.
Wife gave me the go ahead to grow a few months ago, but they only way we could really do it was outside in a shed, so that was huge undertaking.
My good friend use to grow alot and gave me alot of his old gear, so I am setup way beyond my experience, but it saved me a ton of money.
Setup:- Built a 10x10 Shed (Home Depot)
- Built a 5x5 Grow closet in the shed
- 400W light (MH and HPS depending on cycle)
- Moving light bar for the light to move and cover more area.
- Ebb and Flow with bucket set-up (6) Buckets
- 30 Gallon Reserve
- 4inch In-line CanFan with a DIY Carbon scrubber
- (4) CPU fans to help bring air in
- White paint on the walls
- Pura Vida Grow and Bloom Organic
- Water from tap went through Mr. Clean filter. Start EC was .2
Light Cycle 18/6 for Veg and will be 12/12 for Flower
Strain - Betsy (that's our strain we have had around here for years) and some Blue Dream Haze.
Day 1
Temps are staying between 70 (early morning) to 88 (Peak heat of day).
PH is a steady 5.9 after 24 hours
EC is 1.8 (900PPM) after 24 hours
Humidity was around 46% a little low so I added a bowl of water and now its 50%
The clones sat for a few days in a cooler with out much TLC. I was able to re-soak the cubes once.
Issues and Questions:
- I did notice some discolouration on some of the leaves like Potassium decency, was hoping that being in the Ebb and Flow it would elevate this.
- Any good suggestions on plugging light leaks on where cords pass through a hole in wall?
- Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated and welcome.
Will add more pics tomorrow of room. Battery died on camera
What do you experts think. See pics attached.
