Hello to all of you on RIU,
This is going to be my first journal so cut me a little slack if I miss some things. A little back ground on me, I have been growing for about 6 years now. I am no professional by any means, but I have gotten a solid understanding over the years with MUCH trial and error. Recently, I had to move my grow and decided to expand to make it worth the move. In the past I have always used the good old fashioned 1000 watt magnetic ballasts but with technology today, surly there had to be a better mouse trap. So low and behold I came across the Gavitas. I havent really found a full journal on them, so I figured I would be the first!!!
My set up:
- 11 Gavita pro 1000's
- 5 ton A/c
- 105 pint dehumidifier
- co2 burner
- Sentinal co2 controller
- Crestron Full automation system
- Stealth 200 GPD R/O
- 12 Wall mounted fans
The Plants:
Now for whats actually under the lights. I am running 9 plants per light. About half of them are Tahoe OG and the other half True OG with two lights of mixed plants which include Sour Diesel, Gods Gift, Massive OG, and one Woody OG. I will be starting 12/12 in about two weeks when the room is fully completed. They have been veg. for about three weeks in 1 gal pots and are being transplanted into 5 gal microkote pots this Thursday to be flowered in. Most of them have been toped and have 4 main branches.
Medium, Environment, Nutrients:
- Soil: A blend of Sunshine #4, coco, and perilite
- Temp: 74-82 degrees (day), 66-72 degrees (night)
- Humidity: 40-50%
- Co2: 600ppm (veg), 900ppm (week 1-3), 1250ppm (week 4-6), 900ppm (week 7- finish)
- Nutrients: Earth Juice; Grow, Bloom, Micro, Catalyst, Meta-K, Oily Cann. Great White beneficial bacteria (every 2 weeks), Vermi-T (once a week)
I will be posting pictures in the next week of the room and of the plants once they are all in there. I believe I have covered all of the bases, but im sure i have missed something. I am an open book, so feel free to ask any question. I am here to help any body I can, and hopefully learn a few things myself!! I look forward to my journey over the next couple of months with all of you here at RIU!!!
Happy Growing,
KSR
p.s. I will be updating this journal once a week with pictures.
