Very entertaining to watch, very well put and constructed. Based on how ready you are for your first grow, the well made video, attention to detail… I think those are signs of talent and dedication to figure out what works for you and do well.
I have a 2x4. Is that feet? 2x4 was originally a veg tent quickly realized it cant hold the just over 8 plants I wanted in there. Can barely fit 5 clones in my 3x3 veg tent.
I got mold with one oversized plant in a 2x2 in one of my first few grows, not hard to do. 55 plants will be insane. With those counts people usually flip from seedling.
They wont always switch early so it can easily become waay too big a plant. Ebb and flow is good for those plant counts but need space and usually those are ran as clones flipped right away, sea of green.
Id find a grow method that works for you first, youre on first grow and trying to get to where Im at overnight. Im rambling now but heres some grows in soil.
I went back to dtw coco that worked for me especially when comes to consistancy. Soil had varying results. Poor results. I cant perpetuate with that.
Now that I can keep green I can focus on making a well oiled machine. I need to clone which finding a reliable method was not overnight. I have a couple strains, Im perpetuating now.
One strain for rosin, one for weed smoke. Im only running the rosin strain. I have a place to keep small mothers alive, a 3x3 veg tent. Then a 2.5x5, 2x4 and 2x2 flower tent. 2 clones each and one in the 2x2.
Its so it can all roll in a bedroom similar to your size. This is barely enough for my needs but its for rosin. One spot can be for new phenos or use everyspot. If any of this will work youll need to have the mentioned figured out.
Making just flower takes less space, Im only earning back a percentage from dry weight so need more. All I do is vape hash.
I am lazy so I keep things super simple but theyll try to sell all kinds of stuff, compare youre list to mine: Maxi bloom and pool shock, thats it. You wont have all strains “play nice” and need separate treatment which becomes a pain.
So not looking for new strains, happy enough the ganja gods blessed me with a couple keepers for me on my first run to get to this point.
One reservoir feeds all plants so being one strain is functional for now. Takes a few runs to get to know a strain. So yea you got a few milestones to achieve before you can get to where you want to be.
So heres some soil grows didnt work for me, heres my latest photos I can gather of current grow. Took a bit to get to this point just thought id share what path I took.
Im a new grower too but those are some things that come to mind watching the video. I got to where I am quickly but not everynight. You mention vacation a lot, I am a homebody so Im always around my plants.
I dont care about not being able to leave long. If you do, all that much more challenges to figure out. My garden needs me home at least once every few days minimal.
Anyways, good luck! Loved the video! I cant imagine how entertaining your content is capable of being when alot of the mentioned gets figured out!
