Indoor space in unheated outdoor garage on the east coast
Using 3 gallon fabric pots hand watering
Using advanced nutrients GMB ph perfect with calmag and super thrive and photosysnthesis plus.

I have 8 babies who have all cracked their shells. Took 5 days from dropping into the Rockwool caves.

5x5 tent with 8inch carbon filter/fan/heater

What kind of heater and where are you placing it?

 

[Che'Michael]

Small vortex convection heater pointing away from carbon filter. What’s happening is I put a 5x8 radiant barrier in my shed. Then put the 5x5 tent within. The carbon filter sends air out. It’s still semi contained within the shed with a mix of outside fresh air. And the recycled warm air. I have it on a thermostat shutting off at 70 degrees. My temps stay between 70-75 regardless now.
The shed itself can be around 40 degrees or colder which used to be an issue.

This will be my first coco grow - so feeding is going to be interesting.

I have an EC /PPM and PH meter that I have been measuring. Im still trying to figure out ideal EC or PPM for best growth. If you do 1/2 of what bottle says regardless you should have less soluble salts and less EC /PPM TDS readings if I understand correctly....so if you target 800-900 ppm when vegetating, and 1000-1100 ppm when flowering you are at full strength.

My plan is to go with 1/2 or recommended until I see issues or not. so the first watering without any seeds in the coco was at 2ML per gallon instead of 4ML per gallon on the GMB ph perfect stuff. My base tap PH is 7.0- the solution brought and leveled the pH at around 5.8ish which looks perfect... the first 2 weeks ill keep watering at 2ML per gallon. The girls are still not in homes- but are probably going to be set in coco tomorrow - above pic was taken earlier
