Here we go!

Hi everyone at RIU

I've posted a few questions on here, and people have been kind enough to answer, many thanks to those who have already taken the time to do so, and also to those yet to come.

Welcome to my first indoor grow

First, the setup

The clone/seed box is 8' long x 4' high x 4' deep in which I have a 250w grolux HID mixed spectrum or 2 x 125w CFL blue spectrum.
This is divided into 2 compartments, one for mothers and one for clones.

The main Growroom is 12' x 12' x 8', completely insulated with 50/75mm Celotex/Kingspan.
In this space there are 6 x 600w grolux HID mixed spectrum above metre square trays, ( one per light).
The room is very well ventilated by an 8" inline fan mounted in the ceiling feeding a heat exchanger to distribute the heat around the building via a sealed system of insulated ducting. Abundant fresh air inlets whilst maintaining a very good negative pressure.

120 litre reservoir with 2 airstones.

Using Canna coco professional, Canna coco A+B, TNC calmag, H&G Roots Excelurator. Got some Rhizotonic, PK 13/14, a ph meter and an EC meter on their way.


So, to the plants. A friend of mine took 50 clones in lots of 15+ and gave them to me, so there is a size difference between the clones. The bigger ones are 12" tall now and look healthy, showing pre-flowers and raring to go 12/12, I think.
The smaller clones are about 4" atm and suffering either a nitrogen or mag def, but should be fine. Gave them some calmag & H+G today, hopefully that will sort it out.

These pics were taken 5/8/13



Roll on and prosper

awesome subbed

Nice system dude Subbed! Looking forward to any updates.

Hi Sunni, glad to have you on board. Could you tell me how to create a link to my journal, please?

go to edit signature

[ url = paste the url address here ] type what you want the link to say here [ / url ]

just remove all the spaces

Thank you,Sunni.

Well, these were a surprise delivery last night. 30 x 10 day old clones.

Problem is, my main space is full and not even 12/12 yet and won't be for another 10 days possibly. So all I can do with these is try holding them back same way I did by mistake on the first lot, i.e put them in the cuttings closet with 1x 125w CFL.
Some more due to be created in a couple of weeks to bring the numbers up to 54. Of course then I have issues with different stages of growth.
What a pain in the arse!

I don't expect that I can pull this off, but I have to give it a try, any advice from knowledgeable sources would be gratefully received.

If I can keep these alive (54 in total) in a metre square tray in 5" square pots until the first crop is harvested, they can do a week to ten days 18/6 in the main GR and I can then raise the 6 white widow (sensiseeds) + 1 Blueberry (freebie) as mother plants and they can provide me with future cuttings.
Hopefully that will sort timing issues out + self sufficiency for clones.
I still have no idea what strain these cuttings are either, though I know the smoke is awesome.

Forgot my camera this morning, so pics taken with alternative equipment, sorry.

Man I wish I had a 12x12x8 room to grow in. I'd hook it up to 9 vertical 600w HPS and just watch the magic take place. Anyway man sick grow setup, feeling major jelly right about now.

Why vertical? And I've just looked at your grow journal, what on earth have you got to be jealous about, your grow looks lovely

Subb'd nice setup bro
