Hello AFN. This is my first thread. My name is Regal and I would like to document this grow as well as show y'all my compact stealth-ish setup. This is my 3rd grow and first time growing in 100% coco. Thanks to many threads and hours, I mean days, of research on here and other sites my first 2 grows were successful aprart from minor environmental problems that I have since addressed. I am making this journal for anyone that would like to follow along as well as for myself to ask for any help I might need along the way. Questions welcome.

My setup for this grow will take place in the following:
2 X 2.5 X 4'11 gorilla shorty tent on the low height (59 in)
3 gal smart pot
Medium: 100% Botanicare cocogro
Lights:
Viparspectra 450 LED (200 actual)
DIY COB build 2 X CXB3590 3000k running at 80W each
So that's 360 LED watts total. I will be running both the whole time as this is a perpetual auto tent.
Light schedule is 18/6
I have my lights pinned to the top of the tent so I will have to adjust light distance by moving the plant up or down.
Nutrients:
Advanced Nutrients ph perfect grow micro bloom
Silicate 7.8
Botanicare Cal-Mag plus
Rhiso blast
Cannazym
Canna Boost
PK 13/14
Botanicare Sweet
Recharge early on and whenever needed or can fit in. I have a schedule I will be following that I can upload upon request.
Notes:
Germinated in rock wool then right into the pot.
Tent is well ventilated, it stays about 77-81 when lights are on and 73-74 when off.
RH is 40-60 usually, there is little I can do to adjust humidity for now so I basically ignore it. Plus 40-60 is ideal from my understanding.
Planning on a flush halfway through and then for 7 days before harvest. I have some botanicare clearex that I have not used before but will be giving a try.
I am still very much an amateur with very little experience. I'm just trying to find a method that is easy and works for me.
I'm growing this to smoke, and that's just what I'll do.
