AkMags's 600w indoor hydroponics grow.
This is my ongoing updated often, journal in progress. I will be adding pics and updates often.
***I would greatly appreciate advice. I keep a hard journal but would like feed back coming from reliable sources.
I will be growing one plant each of the following strains:
-Green Crack
-Purple Kush
-Super Silver Haze
-White Widow
I will be adding a screen in time for a small scale scrog method.
I love a good zone out into your hobby kind of high.
One you can disconnect and just become one with your thing, whatever it may be for me that is Painting Spending time creating your green house/ thinking of improvements etc, Playing some Battlefield kind of high. A real project booster!
These strains were chosen because they have been Monsters in the competitive world and contain traits I love about growing and the effects of the smoke.
My two favs are white widow and green crack. I want to grind this combination once completed And create a cracked widow! I created a play on that with my set up.
I am starting now with the equipment/parameters
VEG/FLOWERING
I have an adjustable ballast where there exists the option of selection from 200/400/600/super lumens. During the first stages of veg I downsize the power to 200 in the first week or so of veg then 400 for a week after that I use the full 600.
600 Watt Hortilux Metal Halide (MH) 50 Hours on bulb
600 Watt Hortilux High Pressure Sodium (HPS) 825 Hours
CLONING
In this situation I have a Fluorescent panel 24" X 24"(2x2) with a total of four bulbs.
(4) -Sunblaster T5 24W/2700K (New Bulbs)
LED support
During flowering I install 4 LED bulbs (mostly reds) 80 Watt 50 Hours.
Moorsen brand do not buy for they are poorly built. My issues:
Each bulb shocks me to the touch and While you unscrew this bulb your metal piece will break free and reside in the socket until you peter griffin it while ripping tiny pieces off bit by bit as if its made of plastic.
NUTES:
I use during veg/floweing
- Sensi Grow Part A and B 3-0-0
- Sensi Bloom Part A and B 3-0-0
- Big Bud 0-1-3
- CALiMAG 1-0-0
- GROTEC ph down
Ventillation
I have an air in from outside, drawn in from a 6" fan and for movement within the general area I have a large 20" fan moving air.
Temp at highest peak on a week of temps landing from 25-30, My tent interior temperature is 26 C while running HPS on full 600 watts with additional 320 LED bulbs running.(my ballast is positioned outside of the tent to reduce heat gain. During summer nights and winter the LOW average is 16 and 20C.
humidity is an average of 30% unless a week of rains occur in which humidity may rise to 40% at peak.
PH levels have been 5.5-6
