1000w Master Kush/Swiss Cheese Scrog Grow

Well yesterday I went to the Hydro store and bought a few things. For soil i bought Roots Organics Green Fields the 65lb bag that contains 20 gallons of potting mix. And i bought a Ph scale with Earth Juice Natural Up and Natural Down. i'm getting a 1000w MH/HPS light but, the hydro store sold everything seperately and their prices were ridiculous. The kid that worked there also showed me a MH bulb that was $150 just the bulb, and said that it was good enough for flowering too, but I'm trying to spend no more than $450 for a complete setup. But heres whats I'm planning on getting, a Sun System Harvest Pro Elite 1000 watt Switchable Ballast for $211.95 with a Large Adjust-A-Wing reflector and assembly for $215.95 with a Super-Spreader for $34.95, I'm still looking at bulbs rite now. But anyways, another Mast kush sprouted, still waiting on 2 more Master Kushs to sprout, hoping atleast one more does. But thats the update for now. I gotta take a couple pictures to post still, so stay tuned.

nice decision to step up from LEDs. you'll get much better results with your current setup. i like the strain selection too, i'm thinking about trying the master kush pretty soon... how long are you vegging?

I'm gonna veg them till their 18in. tall then put the screen over them and continue to veg till they fill out the screen

Hey everybody. Today is day 12 since I planted my seeds of Swiss Cheese and Master Kush FEM. Sprouted 5 SC and 3 MK. They are all 4in. tall going on their 3rd set of leafs. Wish I had a camera to take some pictures but can't find it. But everythings going on schedule.

I just ordered 2 package deals from Nirvana. The Fairy Tale Package which contains FEM 5 Snow white and 5 White Rhino. Also got the Girl Power package deal which contains FEM 5 Wonder Woman and 5 Venus Flytrap.

Sunday I will be setting up my grow room.

Moday I will be buying all the equipment I need.
- Roots Organic Soil
- 1000 watt MH/HPS light
- Mylar with UV protectant
- In-line and Blower fans want to get just a 6in. ducting fo
- a rooting/veg nutrient

If any experienced growers are reading this and you have any suggestions for appliances that I'm gonna be buying please reply. Don't want top of the line just something to get me by for 3 months. Thanks.

Hey everybody, today is Day 14 everythings looking good. Yesterday I went to Home Depot and bought 10 8' 2x4 and 4 big sheets of a thin kind of particle board. Tomorrow I'm going to build my 4x4 grow room. I bought more wood that way I could build another 4x4 room. I found these 2x2 slabs with a thick plastic for the floor but didn't have enough cash on hand. I'll get that next week, it will help with keeping the bottom of the buckets from getting cold. Today I am gonna goto the hydro store for everything I need to get, hopefully. I have been calling them every day to see if they're open but always get the answering machine. I'll make sure I get pictures up this week. I know this thread is boring considering I don't have any pictures up.

Day 15

Well yesterday I tested the Ph and it was 8 so I used the Ph Down added like not even half a tsp of the crystals to a liter of water and water the plants I got a lil bit of nute burn on the one Swiss Cheese plant, theres a lil bit of green mold on top of the soil, must be from the mushroom compost I added to the top soil when I made the soil for the cups, but I got some pictures.

I didn't end up going to the hydro shop, I called them all day long to see if they were open and still got the answering machine, I don't get how this place even makes money when they're never open. Pissing me off. But I did find a link for a 1000w MH/HPS complete set for $180, gonna buy 2 of them and buy 2 Adjust-A-Wings separately for them. Tuesdays pay day for me, by the end of this week I'll have everything set up and running.

Can somebody explain to me how much Ph Down you use per gallon of water or some other ratio? I haven't looked it up yet, I'm about to, but I don't know if this is the reason I got nute burn on one of my plants. Thanks.

Oh yea, and as you can see from the pictures, two cups each have 2 plants in it. When I planted them I couldn't remember which peat pellet had a seed in it and put another one in thats the one in the top right corner, the one in the top middle has a lil one that just sprouted a couple days ago and I don't get how that happened, I know I only put 2 seeds in one pellet and kept one master kush seed, I planted 5 SC and 4 MK, I have 2 cups that didn't sprout. Those 2 cups that got 2 plants each I'm going to transplant into rubbermaid containers instead of 5 gallon buckets so they have more room for root growth.

Day 19

Alrite well I got 3 plants that look like they're dieing. Yellow, wilting sucks.... Don't know really whats up with them, I bought a new Ph meter and its reading 7, I got 2 that are doing real good. tomorrow I'll take pictures though and post em up. Nirvana sent me 2 more master kush seeds because I sent them a complaint about how they sent me immature seeds so they took care of me. Still waiting on my other seeds from them though, should be here by saturday, i hope...
