Okay before everyone starts talking smack about my choice of soil.... Keep in mind that I've researched heavily before starting!!! I understand that MG may not be the best choice... I know its risky but I decided to do an experiment my very first attempt. Your 1st grow should be about learning right? I just wanted to see for myself that MG sucks before I invest in expensive ferts. So here we gooooooo.... Here's my set up:
Strain: Papaya (2 plants, unknown sex, start from seed)
Soil: Miracle Grow
Pots: 3 gal home depot cheapo plastic pots.
Lighting: CFL through veg! 2 x 42w /// 4 x 26w. I have a 250w hps on the way.. I will soon add it to the mix.
Enviroment: DIY grow box. 2x2x7
Ventalation: 4" 200cfm wind tunnel, 2 x 2" passive intake (through pvc pipe)
Carbon filter: Presh filter
Advanced growing techniques used: 1 plant whom my girlfriend has named bubbles, has been lsted. The other, whom my gf has named buddy, was femed at the 5th node and has 4 tops.
Note: This journal is not starting from the beginning.. I have just finished my first 5 weeks in VEG. I am now on day 2 of flower. (Have yet to see signs of sex)
A few questions; ( I hope some knowledgeable veteran growers will help me out! I'm here to learn
)
1) Whats the best growing technique to provide max yield with my grow space? 12/12 from seed? scrog? IDK!!
2) Will my lighting be enough for 2 plants?
3) How am I going to get the MG ferts out of my babies before I cut them down? I read that you can buy an air stone from the pet store and place the plant/stone in a bucket of water, under 24hr lighting for 3 days to clear nutes. Is this correct?
4) How big of and HID lighting system do you vets think my small space can support? I bought 250w w/ a cool tube.. But I think I could probably up the ante and buy a stronger system and use a cool tube..
That is about it right now... If anyone has any interest/questions lemme know!!!
Pictures to come!
