Live Stoner Chat Hello From The First State

[Bestbud]

I'm new to indoor grows and auto's however I have over 40 years of outdoor cannabis cultivation experience to bring to the party. I'm at day 26 with my first ever indoor auto grow and my girls while healthy have not experienced growth like some of the journals I've watched here. In a 3'x3' tent I'm growing one each of NYC Diesel, Train Wreck, Candy Cane, Lambs Breath, Early Miss and White Widow (after 100% germination) under a California Light Works Solar System 550, 24" over the canopy in 3 gallon pots with Fox Farms Ocean Forest.

I have great intake and exhaust circulation with two 6" AC Infinity duct fans where I can regulate the tent pressure with the variable speed controllers. My average daily temperature is 75.2 and the average daily RH is 35.4% which is a little cool and is probably a significant contributing factor as to why my crop is slower than those in the journals here.

I've only given them well water which consistently pH's at 6.0 and yesterday gave them their first nutes, 15ml. of Fox Farms Big Bloom in 1 gallon of water. I'm trying to simplify my grow routine as much as possible and use common sense coupled with strong daily journaling to have a repeatable process that I can make small re-calibrations to with future grows.

Glad to have found the forum, hope to be a contributor at some point.

We are glad to have you here! Will you be starting a journal? Candy cane and early miss where my first 2 to grow, ever.

Hi @Bestbud and welcome to AFN

OF can be a little hard on young auto seedlings, but if you saw no leaf twisting or other signs .. than it will be fine. Some growers, (including myself before I changed mediums), will also use Happy Frog soil on top and the OF on the bottom, (as Happy Frog is a lighter mix). I would also suggest adding more drainage in future grows by adding more perlite or coco. Just my 2 cents and good luck with your grow!

Great suggestions for my next grow, thank you. I'm keeping my own offline journal for this first grow. I'm a data driven cultivater and I want to fine tune my data capture before I share what I track and how I record my entries which I will do for my second grow.

Sounds like a great setup Bestbud. Love the strain selection — and the light. If you start a journal, drop me a tag and I’d love to follow along.

I am rocking the AC Infinity T8 — only had it set up for about a month now but I’m loving.

Nice setup.
I have been looking at those Infinity fans - they seem so damned futuristic compared to my cheapo fan.

Maybe have a look at Megacrop for nutes. People (including myself) here are getting great results with a single nutrient.

You need to chat with @Mañ'O'Green then, he is doing the Same thing.
