Howdy all. Although not my first grow, this will be my first grow journal. This grow will be approx 12 Buddah White Dwarf Fems from Dr. Chronic growing in Fox Farms Ocean Forest with perlite added in with some extra worm casings and bat guano. Nutrients are a five part series from BioBizz. These include BioGrow, BioBloom, Alg-a-Mic, TopMax, and FishMix. These are good, low-power organic nutes that are good for soil. I have used them on my last 2 grows with GREAT success. I only use them at half the recommended dosages. This will be my first attempt at autoflowering plants. Any and all advice and comments are welcome. I am going to start them on a MH 18/6 schedule at first, then move to a HPS 12/12 schedule when I get a warm and fuzzy about how they are working. If anyone else has a better recommendation, I would greatly appreciate it. As of this moment, 3 of my seeds have sprouted. I have a new ballast and bulbs, but everything else is my regular old stuff. I AM FORTUNATE TO HAVE A WIDE SELECTION OF GROW STORES WHERE I LIVE AND ALL HAVE KNOWLEDGABLE STAFF WHO HAVE HELPED ME AS MUCH AS THIS FORUM. I BUY VERY LITTLE FROM ONLINE STORES. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL GROW SHOP IF YOU HAVE ONE!!!!!!!!!!! My setup includes the following:
WARNING!!! I HAVE INSTALLED A 30 AMP BREAKER THAT IS DEDICATED TO THIS ROOM'S OUTLETS. IF YOU INTEND TO RUN A SETUP SIMILAR TO THIS, YOU SHOULD INSTALL, OR HAVE AN ELECTRICIAN INSTALL, A 30 AMP BREAKER TO RUN THE LOAD. A 30AMP BREAKER COSTS ABOUT 2 DOLLARS AND TAKES ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO SWAP OUT. BE SURE TO DISCONNECT MAIN POWER BEFORE DOING ANY WORK ON THE PANEL!!! 1.) Secret Jardin DR80 grow room 2.) 1 400W Sunlight Supply Sun System Harvest Pro Switchable Ballast 3.) 400W EYE Hortilux MH and HPS Bulbs 4.) Sunlight Supply Yieldmaster Enclosure with glass pane and 4" duct flanges. 5.) 4" Centrifugal Blower, rated at 400 CFM, attached to an Active Air carbon Filter 6.) 6" Suncourt Inline Duct Fan, rated at about 250 CFM?, attached to a Elf carbon filter 7.) seven day electronic timers from Lowes 8.) various testing equipment. 9) little ass tower fan for circ. I will take pictures of the room tonight and get them posted up. I'm interested to see if they really will be ready in 8 weeks like they claim. Hope you guys enjoy my journal.

Sorry I didn't get pics posted. There's an ill member off my family and I had to return to my hometown for a few days. Big props to my wife for taking care of the seedlings while I was gone, even though she wants no part of it.
 I'll post up some pics now. Tell me what you think. |

be carefull on the nutes. i dont like the water testers, not to accurate. i like to test the weight of the pots dry, at first transplanting. then give a watering getting a bit of run off, thentest weight again. then let completely dry up almost to the point of wilting then repeat watering, like i said in pm these dont need to much for nutes, carefull.
get the thermometer at the tops of the plants and get the lightsd as low as you can and stay below around 85 deg |

yeah, I'm not too sure about the moisture meter. This is the first time I've used it and it's a little sketchy. I've always done about what you have, just went off of weight. It's always worked for me that way. Temp isn't an issue, if you look at my first set of pics, you'll notice that the ducting goes through the roof. My fan and filter are in the attic. Temps inside the room rarely get above 75F. I'll take your advice and go easy on the nutes and lower the light some more. Thanks for the advice.
