Live Stoner Chat I LOVE this Forum

[derek420colorado]

I have to say thanks to Blue for telling someone else to come here and say hi. This is by far the best forum I have been on in the last 7 or 8 years. It has the best peeps and great info.

My setup is as follows.

Space: 8.5'Lx4.5'Wx8.5'H
Lighting:2 1kw lumatek dimmable MH/HPS
Ventilation: 2 6" 440CFM inline fans
Strain: Dutch Passions AutoXtreme
DWC:6 site semi recirculating DWC with growstones and 1 70L Per Minute air pump and 1 25L per minute air pump with 2 large cylinder air stones going to each bucket

I am currently waiting on my seeds to arrive from seedsman because my first order got intercepted by customs grrrrrr.

I cant wait to get started because I have spent 12+ hours a day getting everything with the environment dialed in and fine tuned. Thanks to all those members that have inspired me and helped so far with their in depth grow journals and super useful experience based advice. Tang, Seemore buds, True, Mr Ganjamoto, DP Tony, Princess Blue there are literally too many to count, Ya'll ROCK!

I am in southwest colorado as well(kinda) maybe we are neighbors lol. Down here in Alamosa!

Here are some pics of my setup. I know what I think is a lot about growing the sacred herb as I have about 10 DWC photo grows to my credit. I am completely new to autos, so it is like I get to learn all this new stuff again about auto specific growing techniques. It has been like when I first started growing and spent 14 or 15 hours a day reading grow forums I LOVE IT because it is all relatively new.

I have a question for anyone that has used c02. Oh yeah I forgot I am also using c02 enrichment. Right now I just have one of the EZC02 bags of the fungus stuff that produces c02 for UP TO 6 months(or so they say) but I am going to get a bottle and regulator this weekend.

I know that canna plants CAN stand temps higher than normal but I have heard recently(in person from the recreational dispensary owner who has been growing for 30 years) that they actually PREFER higher temps. I am wanting to know what temps I should run while using c02 and DP's AutoXtreme. I have a fan speed controller and can run my temps anywhere from 76 or so to 85. I am currently thinking about 83 at 12" away from my lights out to be good. Anyone have any thoughts. Also I am only having to exchange the air about every 3 or 4 mintues which will get longer as the air outside gets colder.

Good clean setup derek! Welcome to AFN! Anything you need, just ask. Looking forward to your journal.

 

[epenguin]

Welcome Derek, we also have non auto sections here at AFN so with your past experience you could share some of your knowledge there. We can all learn from each other. That is what make AFN tick.

Enjoy, eP.

Thanks everyone, I have put more time,effort,energy and Money on this than any other grow I have ever done. I know that the trick for me has always been to spend time with my plants. This allows me to see how they grow. I currently spend up to 12 or more hours a day IN AN EMPTY GARDEN(I am just waiting on my seeds another day hopefully grrrr customs) so I have no doubt in my ablities just some questions about things that are occupying my mindspace because I have nothing to grow or do right now its killing me!

I will be more than happy to help anyone on DWC/SOIL Photo's for sure. I have always grown Dutch Passion genetics as I have always been pleased beyond belief by there standards of breeding. My specialty strain is DP's Original Blueberry which is my all time fav and my top breeding strain.

I will shut up now as this post has already droned on too long
