Hi there, just joined the site and on my third grow ever 
I've had two grows so far, 1st was a scrog of Power Africa Auto and Nl Auto and managed 9oz of lovely bud first grow.
2nd grow I bought 2 non auto clones to scrog and one was a dwarf(root damage inside the rockwool) and the other gave a couple of oz's. The grow itself was incredibly boring with a 12/12 cycle and bloody annoying using twice the electric my lights do to heat the tent in the dark!
So now I'm firmly back on autos and I'm trying just the one plant this time. It's from Herbies, Cream of the Crop Cash Crop.
Propogated for a couple of weeks in a DWC stealth PC case I built under a 15w LED Red/Blue/White spotlight.
Now it's in a 75cmx75cmx150cm tent in a GT205 NFT hydro tank.
The lights are a Vipar V240 and a V300 angled to provide crossing beams on a 20/4 schedule.
The spotlamp is the same as the one I propogated with and is on 24 hours a day. It's providing heat when the panels are off but I've also found its great for some very low stress training, the plant grows towards it so I'm moving it around with surprising results.
The original idea was to try a vertical scrog this time with just one plant but I've taken the net out and am just using the frame as an anchor point for more vigorous training once the stretch gets into full swing. The main reason for trying this is that I've found the plant to the rear of the tent is awesome but the second plant closer to the front has struggled to compete in my first two grows.
The tent is steady at 28c and is ventilated by one 100mm fan at half speed through a carbon filter. Intake is passive through lower vents.
Nutes are;
from seed PlantMagic+ MagneCal+ and will continue getting it until flush cos it's fricking awesome!
From two weeks I've been gradually adding Vitalink Max Grow A&B starting off at 0.1ml/l rising to the current .3ml/l. I won't go any higher than 0.5ml/l since the plants seem to hate it. EC is currently 1.0.
Once it starts flowering I'll switch to Vitalink Max Bloom A&B at 0.5ml/l or until the EC is around 1.2
2 weeks into flower and I get to add my magic smell maker, Buddha's Tree PK 9/18, boy does that stuff make the smell/resin/frosting soar!
I'll still keep the EC around 1.2/1.4 with Vitalink Bloom.
I'll be using Vitalink Flush for the last week.
Through out the grow I cycle the Ph level from 5.2ish(hint of red test) to 6.0ish(hint of green), seems to help it get all the different nutes up.
Other than all that I've posted a few pics below of the setup and the plant from day 16 to today, day 28. There's been a scary amount of sudden growth in the past 4 days but the pic from day 21 is just there because it looks cool lol!
Day16
Day21
Day24
Day28 - Holy C**p!
Set up.
Anyway, all comments welcome, advice gratefully received, peace!
