YOU MAY POST COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS IN MY JOURNAL BUT IF YOU HAVEN'T ANY THING CONSTRUCTIVE TO SAY THEN SAY NOTHING

hi all, this is gunna be my first grow journal from start to finish.
i have done one before but never had time to complete it fully so i thought this would be my first.

this is my set up.......
250w maxi bright ballast with a super hps bulb (power-plant) this is in my flower tent
300 watt dual spectrum cfl grow bulb in a veg tent

the plants are

5 Swiss cheese
5 quick ones (auto flowering)
4 bag seed (in flower)

tent 1.....
80x80x160cm secret jardine Dr street (the one with Mylar lined)
300w dual spectrum cfl
4" fan in
4" fan out (these are basic bathroom fans but for cfl's they do the job)

tent 2
1.2x1.2x2m secret jardin ds (this is a budget tent)
4 bag seed (second week in flower)
4" in-line fan 2 speed
4" carbon filter
250w hps light
2 plants in coco and 2 plants in DWC buckets

i plan 2 add another 250w this weekend in the flower tent, WHY NOT GET A 400W OR 600W I HEAR YOU ASK??? well the reason is so that i can add new plants and adjust the hight as and when required, as i want to add new plants each fortnight so i will be trimming at least one plant every week (perpetual growing)

i will up load photos later tonight.
the Swiss cheese is from 1 week old to 2 weeks old and just started to feed canna coco A&B (which they have responded to very well)
the quick ones i will be feeding them there first feed tonight
i will post all picks later?
STAY TUNED

had a quick look this morning and the quick ones look to have improved over night, i think this was due to adding an extra 250w cfl to go with the dual spectrum 300w one. the leaves are still a bit curled but i am defiantly putting this down to a cold snap a few days ago?
the temps have gone up to about 78 degrees, but this is down to extra heat from the new light.

i had a good look at the flowering bagseed last night and the ones in the dwc pots are powering through, i will take a seperate pic when lights on later so you can see the differnce between the coco and dwc.
will also do a water change later so will take a pic of there root system (which is huge)

gunna do a price check at some point so all you new growers in the uk will be able to know what it's going to cost and were i got my stuff from, from tent right through to nutrients.
stay tuned as i will be updateing every other hour or so

nutrients for veg is
canna coco a&b
canna rhizotonic (root stimulant) bloody good stuff cos the roots are pureing out the bottom (so i need to repot asap)
Dutch master LIQUID LIGHT
Dutch master penetrator


nutrients for flower are
dutch master gold a&b flower
liquid light
penatrater
liquid lead

if you havent tryed liquid light do so it works wonders, but you have to use penetrator with it.

reptted the swiss cheese last night, couldnt do the quick ones as i didnt get time.
the cheese has really improved since repotting, the roots was comeing out the older pots, the new ones are 4 liter pots and these will be follwed by a 10 litre final pot next week, then put in flower in ten days.
the quick ones have improved greatly the leaves have straitened out and had some growth since friday morning, i will be potting these tomorrow into 8 litre pots and these will be the final pot for these as i dont expect them going more than 60cm high

forgot to mention i am useing canna coco

i have decided that the auto flowering quick ones will stay in there final 4ltr pots and going to put them in the flower tent tonight, as i have got some blueberry that i have just put into root riot cubes ready for potting in coco (once they have come through) i need the space now and the quick ones and the 4 bag seed should be ready for the new year, WHICH IS NOT TO LONG AWAY.
going to add the other 250w hps to accommodate the new plants.
i think i will have to raise them on old pots or something as i want them to get the light then as they get taller i will lower the pots till they are sat on ground level.
