Kits


@wwwillie—
Edit 1/28: As usual things change over time so here is my updated list. 4x4x7 foot tent, 2 ES 300 LED from The Green Sunshine company, I will be using a mix of DutchPro and NFTG for feeding, Autopots and NFTG [HASHTAG]#4[/HASHTAG] soil. Adding miscellaneous benes like Recharge, MammothP, URB, etc.
I plan to run DutchPro in the autopots with a heavy Ca hit with the NTFG in between reservoir fills.
@Dudeski—
4x4 tent
Platinum P300 and a Folux board
Roots soil with KIS ORGANICS soil ammendment in one container and my own mixture in the other
2 autopots

@Mizzo81—-Excited to be a part of this. I will be growing in a 3 gallon fabric pot with botanicare readygro coco. Closet is 3x10 growable space is about 7-8’ of it with a 7.5’ ceiling. They will be started in either a solo cup with cutouts and the bottom cutout for instatranspant or an old DD cup that will also be cut and slid out for transplant. Haven’t decided yet. Or straight in the pot. They will be fed Megacrop, sweet candy, bud explosion, kelp and calmag probably still have enough fox farms gringo rhasta to get them to the end. Those nutrients will be mixed with my mountain well water and ph’d to 6. Oh forgot molasses mixed in once in a while especially during flower. Foliar feeding will be optic foliar transport as of now with calmag and kelp. These first few sprays I believe really help the roots take off. I spray often in veg usually 3-5 times a week. Lights are autocobs thanks to @BigSm0 i have 4 @55 watts and 2@ 65 watts. No fancy setup closet doors are open and fans r at different heights in rotation for air movement. My grow style is pretty basic. Ponytailing if need be leaf tucking and plucking when needed. LST nothing major unless they get too y’all then I’ll supercrop. Lights run 21/3 (stoner moment when setting timer) I’ll be around if any questions. I’ll be ready for a feb1st start heck I’m ready now. I would like to thank @FullDuplex and @Mossy and whoever else there is to thank. To theothergrowers, good luck can’t wait to see what we all come up with.
Edit: I’ll just start them in final pot I’ve done plenty like that as well.

@SOOTDAWG—- Grow Type: ...coco/perlite
Nutrient Vendor: .....Dutchpro..Great white..Mammoth p

@Dichoti—-These will be grown in my 4x4x7 tent, in 7 gallon felt pots (I don't have anything else) Under four 3500k autocobs, and will be fed Megacrop, with Fulvex,hydroguard and a touch of silica.
*edit* Will be grown in coco coir.

I'll see if I can find smaller pots at the local grow shop this evening, If it's absolutely necessary to use nothing bigger than a 3.5 gal pot.

That'll do Fine cheers @Dichoti .....just for anyone wanting to match up with your grow conditions.

You need to tag @FullDuplex for that query........I'm guessing they are restricted pot size to keep them within harvest/height restrictions.........but why have me guess.....

Both he and willy said I'd be in for a "shitshow" if I used my 7 gallon pots for it... Which tells me I should dig out my 27 gallon tote and do a grow in it after these tests are done.
*edit*
I'll try and find/make a 3.5 gallon pot to keep every thing in the battle as "uniform" as possible.
