Newbie first grow... thoughts please people
Hello fellow growers
I've just started my first grow in an attempt to grow 2 Critical Autoflowers and hopefully harvest. My setup is in an outdoor shed and consists of:
Strain- Critical + Auto Feminized
Tent-60x60x1.4
Medium- Plant magic soil
Pots- 11L
Lighting- 125w CFL-blue for vegetation
200w CFL-red for flowering
Side lights- 2x35w CFL Spiral
Fan/Extraction-100mm systemair RVK sileo 100E2
Carbon Filter- 100mm Rhino hobby filter 300mm long
Small clip on fan 100mm 2 speed
Nuets- General Hydroponic Flora series.
Floragro, Floramicro and Florabloom
Well. I've made it into week 2 with my babies and so far so good. They don't seem to have run into any problems as yet. Or none I can see but only a newbie grower. Growth seems to coming along nicely and pots are starting to dry out now so started just a small watering of 100ml of plain water which has been stood for 24 hrs and had its ph adjusted to 6.1 the same as the initial pot watering before the seedlings went in. Temperatures seem to be running nicely at between 70 and 77. Nightly they have been slightly lower. Still running light cycle at 24hrs as I will continue throughout the Veg phase. Also have good air circulation running both small 4" clip fan at bottom of tent running continuesly along with 4" inline extraction fan and carbon filter with variable controller in top of tent also running on a slightly higher than min speed continuesaly. All in happy with progress.

Hi mate,
Welcome to the Talk.
I don't use Plant magic soil, but I have heard of Plant Magic Soil Supreme, so I am guessing that is the one you're using.
I've never heard of "General Hydroponic Flora series." but going by the name, they are suited for Hydroponic grows. You don't really want to mix the two (Hydroponic and Organic grow)
Also, there's no need to pH the soil if you're growing organically in soil.
