Hi all, here's my first grow in my new grow room. Recently moved from a caravan grow to indoors in a unit. Made from a stud 2x2 timber frame and panelled out with 18mm OSB board. All lined with 100mm kingspan insulation then finished in Airflex space wrap insulation. 2 big extractors and two big extractors in reverse to make inlets.
I divided the setup into two rooms. One 1.2m x 1.5m for flowering and the other 600mm x 1.5m for veg. Hoping to keep the cycle going giving a yield every 4-6 weeks.
Now onto my Critical Kush
This is my first ever journal on here. Have been growing for 18years or so, so thought I'd share this one with you all.
What I'm running are as follows!
600w hps for 'grow' room
600w hps for 'flowering' room
25L pots to transplant to
Erin sphagnum moss peat (tomato gro' bags at £2.50 per bag!)
Canna clay balls to line pot trays
Perlite at 50/50 mix with soil
Hydrotops nutrients as follows: Root stim, Solo Grow SW, Solo Soil Bloom, Solo Soil Boost. (Not yet on shelves this is nute trial period from company)
So... I decided that CK was the way to go on this new set up. Got the seeds delivered from Seedsman Seeds... All was good so far! Soaked seeds until they had cracked open then transplanted to soil. This is we're the problems started!
I fired my old germination box up... I've had it for years and has had virtually 100% success rate from when I made it. It's an oblong chipboard box, lined with kingspan even at the bottom. Then trayed builders DPM and filled with canna clay balls to make humidity. It's powered using a fluorescent tube and the heat the ballast gently makes is just right for seedlings or cuttings to enjoy the warm moist
evaporation from the clay pebbles
.
After transplanting the seeds to the soil, only 5 out of the 10 survived. Oddly, the failed seeds only kept to their split state with a tiny shoot protruding and stayed like that until they turned to mush.
However the other 5 have grown along well, I have no idea what caused them to do this. I'm not sure if its Barneys farm as the seeds did look a bit small and green, like they were not quite fully matured seeds... At least I got £35 worth of the £70. Gutted but let's see how they do!!!
may I also add that I am posting this a little late and the plants are currently 1 week under HPS so I will post pics in a mo of when I first put them under!
I hope you've enjoyed so far! Big loves!
