Hello folks. OldManLuxx here. I have been lurking on AFN for a while and decided to kick off my first auto only run. Ill try to format this to be an easy read, as well as digital notes for myself.
Previous Knowledge:
I have done several indoor grows in the past with photos using HIDs in poor environment and soil. My most recent grow I stressed them out too much with heat and they all hermied. Live and learn i guess. I read and watch everything i can to increase my productivity and efficiency. I know a few things but i still consider myself new. All comments, questions, and inquiries are most welcome.
Current Setup:
Area - Closet, 3.5x4x7(ft)
Light - Yehsence 1500w LED (~350 watts at the wall im guessing)
Exhaust - 6in 400cfm fan (forget what brand.. had it for years) vented into the attic.
Intake - passive, staggered holes with grates from living area.
Filter - 4in Carbon Filter
Medium - Soil, FFOF with 20% Perlite
Containers - Four 3 gallon cloth grow pots with handles.
Beans - Mephisto Illuminauto [HASHTAG]#39[/HASHTAG] - Ghost Toof
Nutrients - None yet, see below.
Objectives:
Provide myself and my roommate with 1.5oz a month each, of high quality medicine. So what ive read this strain will go from 80-90 days from sprout. Not sure the estimated yield, but i can low-ball it. Say i get 60 grams each plant. 60x4 = 240 = ~8.5 ounces. 8.5/3(grow time) = ~2.8 ounces per month, just shy of my goal. This is highly debatable i know.. Please comment if you have a bit of insight.
As Of 3/21:
The closet is setup for the most part, soil in pots ready for beans. Delivery to the states is taking around 7-8 days im guessing, since the order was just shipped today (day 6 since order). Once i have them i will be germing with the paper towel method and heat mat. Once taproots are shown, i will insert into those cheap peat pellets risen with RO water.
Questions: Nutrients
I am not very versed on using nutrients, and need someone to point me in the right direction. I see a lot of people using different brands, organic or not, 2 part system with added calmag, 5 part systems (i think for soiless) so on and so fourth. I want to keep this stupid simple(and cheap). With that in mind I was thinking the veg, bloom, calmag system is what i need. Ive read that my soil is hot so using 1/4 strength throughout is key (?) I really need some input on this since i really cant talk to anyone i know about this for security reasons. I will add pictures once i figure out whats wrong with my tablet. Any help would be a relief.
Sorry for poor photo quality.. had to use a throwback ipad :X Future photos will be better.
