Okay Boyz & Girlz...after reading, researching, reading, researching, buying a shitload of equiptment and more damm reading for 1 year I am finally ready to start my grow....

I will be growing 4 different "AUTO" strains...they are as follows;
AutoAK 47 (13)
LR2 8
Buddah White Dwarf (4) fem
AutoAK 47 x Auto Blueberry (5)

Starting this many because we all know the male to female ratio on Autos is high,(with the exception of white dwarf fems) not to mention some that might not even germate...my target # is 16-20...[hopefully!!]:confused:
Anyways, my equiptment, (which was expe$ive as F***) goes as follows.....
HomeBox XL,(56"x56"x78.75") flowering..
CloneBox,(4'x2'x4') seed starting/veggin & will double as drying chamber during harvest times...
HomeBox XS,(1.9'x1.9'x3.9') breeding/pollinating..
Windtunnel 6" in-lin fan,(409CFM) for homebox xl..
Active air Carbon Filter 66,(400CFM) for homebox xl..<more carbon than can66
Plantastar 600HPS,(90,000 lumens)<better than Hortilux..
Lumintek 600 elctronic, "dimmable" ballast with "super lumens"..
Four 2' HO T5's,(2000 lumens ea.) 1 in each corner of homebox xl..
6" booster fan for "active intake" in homebox xl..
Mini De-humidifier in homebox xl..
OscallatingTower fan & two 6" clip-on fans in homebox xl for air-circulation..
Two 6" backdraft dampers,(1 for windtunnel exhaust fan, and the other for booster fan) because I will be runnin Co2...when Co2 cycles on for 15min, both fans will turn off for 15min, 4 times a day..
Co2 Boost Bucket on side of homebox xl..
Sunlight Supply lamp socket/cord in homebox xl..
Fantec fan controller on side of homebox xl..(turn dwn fan @ night)
4" S&P in-line fan with a 4" Profilter pro45 carbon filter in clonebox..
Humididfier for clonebox..
Germation Station w/heat mat for clonebox..
Sunblaster 4' four tube HO T5 light fixture in clonebox..
8" fan & two 6" clip-on fans for air-circulation in clonebox..
Portable A/C, (11,000 BTU) (gonna vent it to A/C vent in cealing via ducting & a straight register boot to attic)
Another 6" in-line fan..(S&P TD-150) and carbon filter, (odor-sok) which imma mount on wall opposite the tent for EXTRA odor fighting!!
ONA-GEL..
3 Gallon grow bags..
8 13" high plant stands..(for stadium style/step-up of outer plants) other 8 will be on floor 12" in front of those..
Soil Meters for PH & Moisture..
Hanna PH/PPM/TDS pen w/cleaner, buffer, & calibation solution..
PlantTrimmer..
Magnafing scope w/light,(60x & 100x)
2 Thermostats w/external probe for outside temp. reading..(1 for homebox xl, 1 for clonebox)
Jiffy peat pellets..
CFL bulb, (4200 lumens) & 10" reflector,(circle kind) for breeding in homebox xs..
1 bag of MG seed starter & 1 bag of MG spahgum peat moss mixed together w/perlite..
Hydroton clay balls.. (To put on top of soil <this promotes spreading out of roots all the way to top of soil, prevents compacting of soil and keeps soil moist from evaporating to fast due to lights and low humidity during flowering & Put in bottom of bags<<for excellent drainage)
Fox Farm Oceans Forest Soil..
Mason Jars..(didn't buy yet)
Spray bottles..
Cal-Mag..

Hey everybody, nothing really to report as of yet, they are working on 1rst set of true leaves now...very green and are about 1/2" wide tip to tip and 1 1/2" tall...the only issue i am having is the damm heat in my tent! it's topping 95 degrees in there, almost 98!!!!<YIKES!!! [didnt finish setting up portable A/C yet!] and it's also hard for me to get the humidity where i want it...(around 50-70%) its been @ 45% with the humidifier running on high!!!! im pissed!!! I have two 6" clip-on fans & a 8" turbo fan on med setting..I also have a 4" S&P TD-100 inline fan,(97/101cfm) doin passive intake attached to a odor-sok filter and temps went dwn a lil but its stll at 89-93...would like to get it at 80 steady..my lights are on a 20/4 schd. I am wondering if i should change it to 18/6 and also put sum baggies over the cups to get the humidity up...what you guys think? any sugg.????? thanks:confused::roll:

[PISSED}!!! How many more days you guys think i should let it go for before gettin rid of???

Anywayz, as far as the rest go, they are growing nice & green!!! been feedin with jus distilled water, (spraying 10 times every 12 hrs) BUT today I gave them 6oz ea (from a gallon of vitamins/water..) 1 drop of Superthrive, 2.5ml of Advance Nurtients B-52, 1/8tsp of Voodoo juice, 1/8tsp of phirana, 1/8tsp of tarantula and 1ml of Bud Candy....! all of this by the way is for the roots to explode!!!! and they will feed on the Bud Candy<<<CARBS
temps are 89 degrees with RH @ 60%...lights are 3" away.... pics of babies will be coming in 2 dayz which will make them a week old!!!!! PEACE!

OH, PH WAS 6.7, BUT AFTER FEEDING,(RUNOFF) IT WENT DWN TO 5.3??!!! WTF?!:evil: FOR THE NEXT "FOOD/SUPPLEMENTS" FEEDING<<JUS PLAIN WATER IZ NEXT OF COURSE, SHOULD I RAISE THE PH OF THE SOLUTION TO SAY 7.5 TO GET A BETTER RUNOFF NUMBER???

N is for more "GROWTH"!! and higher N in this short so-called veg period @ the 3rd set of true leaves stage give a better female to male ratio ;-)

sounds like you got your shit down to a science im lookin forward to this, wassup witt using more N tho? remember these show sex as early as 14 days
