Ive recently decided to cultivate a nice plant (hopefully) in efforts to save a little cash, and harvest a more than decent smoke so here are the details.
CFL cupboard dresser box:
15"×20"×40"
Made stainless steel hood at work
15 × 15 with 2 45 degree bends makin it 11 × 15
It hangs on hooks in which the chain links can be lowered or raised at 1/2" intervals.
It holds
2x 42w 6500k
4×13w 6500k ( 2 hanging off each side in order to surround planter)
1x26w 2700k
Air flow- 2x 4 inch desk fans from wal mart
The exhaust hole is cut and fan takes hot air out hangin from outside box good seal with computer fan cover on inside for space saving reasons. No intake yet but 3 inch cord hole will do the trick for now it is not air tight either but its not terrible. The other fan sits on the hood blowing air down and horizontal both cooling the hood and giving a light breeze to the plants.
Soil- year old miracle grow potting soil, was inside so no pests, mineralized and nitrogen-ized( haha) with fish tank water (sprayed when dry, then sat in sun every day for two weeks, coming in at night) learned this trick as I am an avid aquarium gardener and use soil under sand as a substrate) also a little fresh top soil no name nothing special, just wanted to even out the nutrient density a bit. The potting mix has tons of verm/perl
And have use the same mix on other house plants with great success.
I use a 1 gal pot with a strainer bottom for great drainage and a little aeration to the bottom when dry
Btw it is gloss white on the inside , had emergency banket up but got way to hot an toasted my plants
I have 3 3-4 week old plants from bagseed, I intend to get 1 female out of the deal , if I get a half ounce im happy, its a first grow and im no pro..yet. I live in canada and the laws are pretty lenienant
My plants were doing great after one feed of 1ml each a and b of dnf bloom formula started after week 3 ( sunday) , then I got stupid........ the next week I got trigger happy with the ol syringe and added 2.5 to almost 3 ml of each a and b when the suggusted dose is 5 ml . These are young plants and I probably shouldnt have fed them yet in the first place. Ive learned that and will put it in my back pocket for the next grow. Now my plants are both toasted from that stupid hot 2700 k (took it out) and nutrient burned from the steroid pumped feed . I did a flush with 3 gal of water that sat out 24h with airstone the ph is 7 in my area. The plants have new growth but I FIMd one for experimental reason before the burn and I think its a gonner. They were growing nice with tight nodes until this terrible incident, hopefully with some help from u farmers I can still recover this grow. Pics upon request, but still am unsure of the security of this site lol. PLEASE HELP THIS NEWBIE
