Hey guys, I haven't actually made a thread on here before. I usually just observe and read other threads. I recently started up a new grow, after not growing for 2 years. Had a rocky start, but I would love to share my setup and pics of my current babies. I will be starting a new grow end of September and possibly 1st of October. Keep following me for updates, I know you will enjoy it!

My setup;


Lights: 3 *300 watt Galaxy hydro LED lights,(real power 133 watt) 1 *150 watt Galaxy ufo led(real power 50 watt) 4 23 watt 2700k cfls hanging on canopy. All are connected to a Hydrofarm timed digital outlet.

Grow space;
6 foot wide, 2.5 foot depth, 8 feet tall grow closet. 300 cfm Apollo 6 inch fan and 6 inch scrubber. I duct the heat into my massive crawl space(almost the size of a basement) 2 circulating fans

Cooling;
For the summer I have a 5000 BTU AC that I custom ducted through the closet door. Then to solve temp sensor issue I bought a hot/cool temp probe electrical outlet. The probe sits at my canopy to regulate closet temp. For winter I use a 4 inch duct booster fan that pulls outsisde air from window and is also temp controlled with the controller.

Soil Nutrient line;
Soil is a mixture of Roots Organic Original and Roots 707. Added some lime at a later date(huge mistake). Added some work castings with perlite.
I use roots organics uprising bloom, uprsing grow, uprising foundation. Also I am using a botinacare organic sea kelp liquid. Lastly for carbs can't go wrong with unsulphured black strap molasses. I feed every other watering in general. Is start a light feeding around week 3 as a top dress. The plant can slowly break it down and start absorbing early onset. I increase feeding around 2 weeks in flowering and then double feeding in another two weeks.

I almost forgot, I use Ro water and supplement lime in the water here and there for that extra cal mag.

Pots; 5 gallon fabric pots
Seeds starting in red Solo cups.
I water about every 4 days.

Plants are;
The oldest plants are Alien Versus Triangle and Uk cheese. Both plants are auto feminized. The third plant is Northern Lights. Also is an auto female.
The Avt and Uk Cheese are about 2 months of age. The Northern is behind because the seeding bent in the middle when popping out. The northern is about 1 month and two weeks of age.

Schedule;
Started on 24 hours for veg, then went to 18 hours on and I'm now at 20 hours.

(I would say with autos do 18 or 20 hours, it seems to be best. If electricity is to much or it's hot, go with 18 hours)

Please fellow growers ignore any defeciencies you may see. I have the plant's on track now. Just a tip, Roots Organic Formula 707 is peat based. It has a tendency to really mess with your pH. Right now I'm at around 6.4 pH. I started around 5.6 for first month and a week and have been slowly bringing it up. The deficiencies you are seeing is due to being in flowering and pH lockout of nutrients. I would advise for indoor use Roots Organic Original, as it is Coco based.

Sorry for overload of posts guys, but I wanted you to see my setup for future grows. Then you will know what's up. I'll be giving updates when available and will upload pics. Can't wait to share yields. Happy growing fellow readers!!

Northern lights is still working hard on bud production. I will post pics soon. I am so excited for my next grow to share with you guys. I am gonna be changing my light setup and tweaking the air cooling. I should be starting near the end of September. My plan is to do a continuous harvest setup as well. This grow I can post updates from start to finish.

Well done brother! I love that you persisted even though no one replied. It’s full of great pics and ideas people can maybe use in their grow environment.

Do you only grow autos?
Do you like Mephisto Genetics?

Keep posting.

Thanks stinky! I'm new to posting on roll it up, but want to share my knowledge as well as learn from others. I only grow autos for a few reasons. I don't have to worry about light leaks. Also they are very fast and have fantastic yields. Lastly, I don't have to force flowering and I can reap the benefits of autoflower medicinal properties. Believe it or not, autos have special medicinal benefits that photos do not.

To answer your question, yes mephisto is an amazing breeder. The alien versus triangle really came through and gave the largest yield. I feel there strains are very resistant to most things.
