After quite a long time of reading, waiting for medical card etc.. I am ready to do my first grow. Only going to grow 2-3 plants. I may do SCROG, not sure yet, we will see after a couple weeks of veg, I could build a SCROG pretty quick.
I will be using H3AD's coco formula of 6/8 ML GH Micro/Bloom with Epsom salt added. I may add in things like Koolbloom, but I may wait for my second grow before i do that. I have seen great results using this simple formula.
Here is my plan
* Germinate seeds in paper towel.
* Plant seeds in 70/30 Coco/Perlite mixed solo cups with holes punched in the bottom
* Place solo cups in humidome, dial my 400 watt MH down to 200 Watt until they sprout.
* Once plant sprouts remove from Humidome. Turn up light to 300 watt.
* Feed plant RO water for the first week.
* Once first week is complete, add 1/4 strength nutrient mix each feeding.
* Feed when plant needs it
* Slowly increase nutrient strength every other feeding.
* Plant into 3 gallon buckets after 2 weeks of veg.
* adress any and all problems if there is any/decide if I want to do scrog
* Begin flower after four weeks of veg.
This is the plan, flowering is straight forward. Just want to make sure my steps are correct. I will also water until 10-20 percent run off so no salt build up problems.
My other question is how do I add PH up and Down? Can I empty and clean out an eye dropper and add some PH up to one and PH down to another? Then just drip a drop into the water and test until I have the PH I am looking for? Lastly, in a small grow area 2.7 X 2.7 X 5'3" are 3 gallon pots large enough?
Thanks guys.
