Welcome to my Mini grow.
I have received a provisional offer from KBag to mentor this grow, however, as he has not grown in a small space, offers for a different mentor will be considered, this is also a condition that KBag has given and is happy with.
MEDIUM: Coco.
NUTRIENTS: I have the full stack of Canna nutrients:
Canna Coco version A
Canna Coco version B
Canna Boost accelerator
Canna PK 13/14
Canna Rhizotonic
Canna Cannazym
MINI GROW BOX: A converted Ikea set of draws measuring H:90cm W:75cm D:41cm, this includes the feet. Internal space is 61x54x35 cm, which is excluding the extraction system and light. The light used is a 90w Prakasa LED, also there are about 3m of strip-LED lights around the inside, although these are quite low intensity compared with the main LED.
For the air intake, some PVC plug fit pipe was used in a U configuration, which works well to block out the light exiting the unit via the intake.
The extraction & filtration system is a retain carbon filter with cover which slots into a small housing at the back and supported by some taught wires. The housing diverts flow through to the fan setup, which is encased in a cardboard construct. The fans used are 4x 120mm arctic pc fans, 2 of which are counter-rotating and placed in-line with the standard rotation fans, this is develops a higher static pressure, which is enough to pull air through the carbon filter. The air is then sent out of the cabinet through a duct at the base edge of the unit and out of the side.
Currently, the intake tubing and ventilation duct are not installed, so there is some light leakage from the intake, this will be remedied soon.
There are 2 sets of timers for the system, one for the lights and one for the ventilation fans. As the unit tends to stay quite cool and is generally very quite (quiter than my pc!) these will generally be on 24/7.
PLANT: Dinafem feminised OG Kush. This was a free seed that I received and has been kicking around for about 2 years, safely tucked away and I recently found it. I planted it in a rooting block and it has started to grow, even after being stored for 2 years!!!
POTS: I have a full selection of pots, both circular and rectangular.
Things that I don't have:
PK testing, although I do know how to make ph paper with some red cabbage!!!
PK modifiers.
Here are some pictures of the setup
