I am a new grower, i have only tried to grow once before and that was with 4 plants that came out of a bunch of unknown seeds, they grew well but didnt give me much in terms of yield plus i had two go hermie on me and pretty much seeded the whole batch, i think i pruned too much and shocked em.......
Anyway, i have bought 5 feminized White Rhino seeds, i am using the warm damp tissue in the dark method for germinating, just did that today so hopefully within the next few days i will have something to plant. I maybe be starting to post too early but i wanted to get any advice prior to my actually planting seedlings, cant afford to mess this up lol so any advice would be appreciated.
My set up is a 1m x 1m x 2m grow room, i have a 400W MH & HPS, i will use a SOG using Promix HP with Flora series nutes, i am told both of these are good. I plan to install an extractor and intake fan tomorrow. I will monitor the temp and humidity inside during the day and night cycles. The whole steup is in the basement so it should be quite cool down there so i dont anticipate temperature problems, if anything i think it may be on the cool side during the night cycle.
I am told that i can use the local tap water as its quite soft, no calcium deposits in the kettle or on shower heads, is this OK?? The PH of it is at around 7.6 so after adding the required nutes i will add PH down to bring it to around 6.7, is this ok??
Do i also have to monitor the soil PH during my grow? or Will keeping the feed at the required PH be enough??
Now i have heard alot about CO2 and how this boosts growth and yield. On my last grow i used some sugar and yeast mixed with water in a bowl inside my grow room but i was really unsure about this method as i had no idea what kind of quantities i was generating and if i was harming or benefiting the plants...not good in my opinion. So what other inexpensive methods are there for generating CO2. I will be searching though the many many other threads to see if i can find this out for myself but any pointers would be appreciated.
Also if anyone thinks i am doing anything wrong in what i am suggesting please do say so. I will be adding pics as things progress..........
Peace out!![Peace :peace: :peace:](/styles/smilies/peace.gif)
