First time growing! 400w HPS 20 plants
|
|
This is the bag seed I planted in the first week of march. The pics all have dates.
I use BC boost, grow, bloom according to label instructions to get an EC of about 1.9 during growth and 2.2 during flowering. I also supplement with cal-mag, liquid karma and sweet throughout the veg and flowering stages.
I experienced slow growth at first due to a highly stressful early transplant for all the seedlings when they were about a week old. I switched from coil to rockwool in hydroton. I maintain a pH of about 5.0-6.0 and I use BC pH down/up to adjust the pH level.
Seeds I planted were bagseed of some unknown variety but the plants are smelling pretty dank as of yet.
I started the 12/12 light cycle from 18/6 after 1 month of planting the seedlings. I am getting kicked out of my house so I need to flower ASAP. I bought the 400W hps online for about $100 (price includes ballast, 2 bulbs, and refelctor). Mylar and pumps were purchased online for about $15 each. The resevoir, table, hoses, timers, and power strips bought at local hardware store (lowes). The air stone and air pump bought at aquarium shop.
All in all, under $300 worth of junk. Im gonna start a new grow room at the new house, and I will be sure to order some high qual seeds (probably going to try Hawaiian Snow or one of many 'haze' varieties- from greenhouseseeds).
