    Default First real attempt

    Hi all

    I was a member of the forum a few years ago. I had a very basic attempt at growing MJ after doctoring my Garland Grow Garden with more CFL light and mylar sheeting.

    Needless to say, it wasn't hugely productive. However I did enjoy the growing science and smoke the results.

    After a recent trip to Amsterdam I got the urge to grow again. Just bought all the kit:

    Secret Jardin DR120
    400w dual spectrum bulb
    Digitial balast
    Parasole hood
    Rhino filter
    5" low voltage fan
    Acoustic ducting
    Airpots

    My plan is to grow 4 plants, different THC:CBD ratios but all high in CBD. I want to prevent the anxiety effects.

    Planning on using:
    1) Peat plugs plus a propagator for seeding. pH adjusted reverse osmosis water.
    2) Rockwool cube soaked with Canna Start + Rizotech for the shoots. 1ml per litre of each. Alternate nutes and plain water in coco. pH 5.8
    3) Canna A+B for Veg. 1ml of each per litre alternating with plain water. pH5.9
    4) Canna A+B with PK13/14 for flower. 1ml of each per litre, alternating with plain water. pH 6.0

    Will scrog at 12".

    Seeds have been ordered, should be here tomorrow! 4 different types:
    Kera Northern Light Feminised
    Kera Medical White Widow Feminised
    Kera Medical OG Kush Feminised
    Royal Queen Dance World Feminised

    I wouldn't be scrogging 4 plants in that space mate especially different strains...You wont gain an extra in yield and you will just be creating more work for yourself as well as the extra time needed for training your net...Scrog lends itself better for single plants in a small space or multiple plants in a long narrow space...You should look at multiple toppings and LST...Leave your plants loose you can then remove any that could have issues later on or you need to do a big flush etc. Also it gives you the option to turn the pots 1/4 turn daily which will maximize the available light to every side of the plant...Trust me mate i've been there and done it

    Sounds like a man with a plan

    Get an EC meter, you'll find it easier to keep tabs on what goes in & what comes out of coco

    Yes, got one of those, ph minus and various other bits.

    The tent is in a corner of my living room. I bought 5m of acoustic ducting, but am not actually ducting outside of the tent. The Rhino filter is connected to the fan which in turn is connected to the roof vent all via acoustic ducting internally. But, I had tons left over, so ripped the rockwool out and wrapped it around the fan, then loosley covered in foil and tapped it up. It's quiet enough to run without being noticable, but was wondering how safe it is to have rockwool in the tent? It is irritating on the skin to touch but then again you can grow in it?

    It seems some people judge nute concentration by EC level, others by ratio of nutes to water. Not sure which is the best option?

    I was going to start with 1ml of nutes per litre of water at each stage for simplicity. Check it doesn't exceed suggested EC levels, then add more/less if the girls are unhappy. That sound OK?

    Is this right for max EC levels:
    Seed : 0.8
    Seedling : 1.0
    Veg : 1.2
    Flower 1.4
    Bud : 1.6
