I am now at day24 and have just found this forum. I am very happy to see all autos!! Here is what I have so far. I will add some pics later tonight or tomorrow.
Strain: Pineapple Punch Automatic
Type: Ruderlis/Indica/Sativa
Height: 50cm-80cm
Harvest: 70-80 days from seed
Strain: HighJack Automatic
Type: Sativa/Indica/Ruderalis
Height: 50cm-90cm
Harvest: 70-80 days from seed
Strain: Auto #1
Type: Indica/Sativa/Ruderalis
Height: 25cm-75cm
Harvest: 60-70 days from seed
Strain: Trans Siberian Auto
Type: Indica/Sativa/Ruderalis
Height: 30cm-80cm
Harvest: 65-70 days from seed
All four autos are in a closet (6’ wide x 2.6’ deep x 7.5’ high). Mylar covers the walls.
All four are Fem seeds
grown in Fox Farm Oceans soil
3 gallon pots ( germinated seeds straight to pots )
Size of light: 6 T8’s @32 watts ( all Daylight 6500k ) ( possibly switch to 2700k later in flowering ) 14 CFL’s @26 watts ( mix of 6500 and 2500K ) The T8’s are horizontal on the wall as a supplement.
Venelation: At this point I have two small 4” fans pulling air from the bottom of the closet and airing to the plants as well and a 9” pushing air out from the top. I also use a 15” fan in the main room blowing out of the door when temps get hot outside. I get around temps of 80 at the tops of the plants. I know this is hot but I have not seen any issues so far. I am at day 24. I use two cheap humidity meters. They both are measuring 50 %( different brands).
This is my first grow since the mid-eighties! I was not that good then! I am open to any advice. Note: I am on a serious budget enforced by my wife.
I plan to start using
nutes at week 4 as the OS seems to be fine for now.
I chose Autos because they are interesting, and apparently faster grow, I chose T8’s and CFL’s because of Lower heat, hopefully less electric expense, research, goes against the status qou, and I had many of the needed parts laying around my garage.
I welcome any advice or opinions. Just remember I am new and not an expert!
I have posted a journal/diary today but copied this to the introduction thread as well.
