Hi,my English is not so good so forgive me is I make errors in writing...
this is my first grow and I need some friends to can write my problems and find some solution...
I have a good set up (I think) but zero experience as grower...
So here is my setup:
6 - 600 w lamps HPS (and hammered reflectors) set up, all connected and working well.
I have a room divided in 3 parts one is a space 4 x 4 m (covered with 6 600w hps lamps), 3 swivel fans and one 1500 m3 inlet fan with pollen and insects filters (here the ruderalis grow freely every where) ; the other two rooms are 2 x 2 m with one 600w hps lamp and one swivel fan each and both rooms covered with one 1000 m3 inlet fan with pollen and insects filters .
The area is almost hermetic form outside, beside the inlet and outlet fans there is not other connection with the outside environment.
The 3 rooms are forming my flowering room there is only one door that close the all area.
All walls are been covered with white reflective plastic on 3 walls and one wall white painted (there is the hole of the door left fully open). The walls are about 3,5 m hight
The temperature is controlled by one AC than make also eat and dehumidifier, plus another portable humidifier/dehumidifier. (I have already the problem that the humidity is too low, not more that 31% and goes down to 19 sometime, I will add another humidifier in each room so I can fully control the temperature and humidity.) Temperature is not an issue and is fully under control also with the Ventilator controller with thermostat
The veg room is 5 x 4 m and I have the same set up of the flo room, AC humidifier/dehumidifier, 3 swivel fans, one 1000 m3 inlet fan (with pollen and insects filters), one 1500 m3 outlet fan (that goes out to the chimney) 48 T8 fluorescent tubes 36w and two 600w hps. I did not finish the room yet I need to build the supports for the 48 lamps and decide how to divide the light into that area. The two 600w hps are in addition and also here I need some suggestions. I was thinking to use one for the future mothers (between 4 to 6 minimum) and one for the rest of the veg room with the 48 fluorescent lamps.
The veg room will be set up next week, but I'm planning to start the germination using one of the two 2 x 2m and move the seedling in the veg room as soon as the girls are ready.
The germination will be done with jiffy in germination box with temperature and humidity control, then I was planning to move all directly into the 11l pots (30 x 30 cm pot) but I'm here to get help, so I wait for your suggestions...
I will grow using BioBizz All-Mix Soil, I have the PH tester and EC tester, and the necessary to correct the PH as needed for veg and flo stage.
I did not buy any fertilizer yet because I need help on that, too many different directions did make me a bit worry about. The grow-shop guy tell me I will not need any fert. If I use the BioBizz All-Mix Soil, but I don't know about,
I will start with 300 seeds (first try, then I have other 300) I will grow white widow (mostly) The Ultimate and Power plant, some other strain but I have only few seeds of them, some are auto-fem, some are skunk, are test seeds given to me by the seeds company (the Dutch Passion), I will let you know.
So that's it for now
Any suggestion?
I was thinking to add CO2, but don't know much about
I think I did ask too many questions, better wait for some answer...
Peace and light
Pietro
