Hey everybody, recently diagnosed with a medical ailment, allowing me to consume and cultivate cannabis. So I purchased Jorge Cervantes growers bible along with Ed Rosenthals growers Handbook. Read both and learned a lot. Now that seeds have been successfully germinated using the water glass method, seeds have been planted in a 70/30% coco/perlite mixture in red solo cups with drilled bottoms, pre soaked with CANNA coco CANNA start and ph'd t 5.7 at 420ppm. I am using the CANNA CoCo line of nutrients along with Foxfarm BigBloom.

I have 11 of these in a 5x5x7 Jardine tent, with air-cooled Galaxy select a watt feature, 400-600-1000. With Blockbuster hood attached to a 650cfm and massive Carbon filter. Day 3 they have 2sets of leaves an are about an inch tall. 2ft from the tops at 600w room temp is 82-84F at 400w 78-82F with humidity in the mid 60's. the first night the lights went off for 6hs i've left them on for 24 hrs since with 600w MH. I guess I just wanted to share and ask for any tips on anything that I might have forgotten or to expect in the near future.

Nice...You still have the new grow room smell,like a new car.:-P
Gl with the grow.Does the ppm 420 include the tap ppm or you using RO water?Seems a little much for seedlings.When I was doing soiless, I didnt use but 200ppm on seedlings.

My RO water comes at 55 ppm so the nutrient solution is around 370 ppm . Is this to high?

Let me put it to you this way,a lot easier to fix less then more.Easy to add PPM, hard to fix too much.
Your doing drain to waste correct?

IMO...18/6 works best for me.

yes a drain to waste is what. I followed the directions for the solutions. but iv herd a few places to use half strength or even quarter. that would put me in the 200 range.That makes sense . Great advice , those are the things newbies need to know
