Grow Mediums Med Gom 1.0 Coco Pre-Grow Diary

[soul_traveler]

I'll be growing Med Gom 1.0 in about a month or less as soon as i get all the supplies i need. I plan on making my own feminized seeds so i don't ever have to buy any again. I'll be documenting this grow with pictures and plan on getting a test kit to get the thc/cbd content of each batch and grow the feminized seeds of the highest cbd specimen.

Right now i have:

*17 gallons of coco coir brick
*three 5 gallon smart pots
*a magnifying glass
*bubble bags
*a tds meter
*advanced nutrients ph perfect grow, micro, bloom.
*Oscillating Fan

All that i need to complete the list is:

*Reverse Osmosis system
*Carbon Filter + Fan
*300W LED Grow Light
*Carboload, Vodoo Juice, Calmag & Silica

My motivation for cbd is for a couple of reasons. I have really terrible back pain and spine alignment problems in my neck. I have social anxiety and bipolar disorder (self diagnosis) and plan on using oral doses during the day to see if it helps, but not enough to get really stoned so i'm able to function at work, i read a few studies about cbd being very helpful for these conditions, and even schizophrenia due to it's anti-psychotic effects, which is surprising to me. And i just like to smoke weed, it's good for socializing and feels good on the lungs.

Can't wait for this, cheers!

Welcome soul_traveler, sounds like a fun and challenging project brother. Won't miss this one cant wait to see it unfold!! One tip i've read about the CoCo bricks, rinse them out and at the end feed it cal-mag at 0.8 EC because bricked types contain high amounts of salt.

*Check your water ppm b4 getting an RO system you might not need it
*what size is your tent or room? 4inch inline are usually good for upto 2m2

The grow room will be a closet about 5 x 5 space. If my water is good i'll put that toward a 2x4 grow tent to make sure the smell is covered. Do you have any experience with ozone generators? There about the same price but seem to cover more area than carbon filters and supposedly work just as well. That MyDx Analyzer looks flippin awesome! Maybe it'll drop down in price after a while, $600 is a hefty dose but i would definitely pay for it if i could afford it. Any other recommendations for test kits? Thanks man.

the dx is just hitting the market id expect it to drop by more than half after its had time to mature some. you could use a lab if you have that available or i think bud buddies do a test for home use that will confirm the presence of thc, cbd etc via color indication on a paper sheet.

Ozone is meant to be bad for you but ive no experience, hopefully others can chime in here

goodluck

Hey AN how's it going? I just realized that i'm not going to be able to grow in an open closet because of the possibility of apartment inspections, so i'm going to build a stealth grow cabinet. Right now i'm thinking of getting a 150w hps light for $60 to start out with and i'm trying to decide on a good size cabinet to grow in. Would this be big enough? http://www.amazon.com/Sterilite-014...d=1412972121&sr=8-99&keywords=storage+cabinet I like that it's lockable with a pad lock. The smart pots i have are 9" tall and the light is like 6" from the hanger to the end of the fixture. So that's about 20" for plant growth, i don't know how tall these med goms will get? I need some ideas. Thanks in advance.

It seems my water is past the U.S. EPA's max contaminant level (500+) according to my tds meter, my water is a whopping 536 ppm. lol, that's pretty serious.

looks like ro is in order with your tap water you can even use distilled store brought water to get you by if you need to allocate funds in priority of urgency.
the tallest med gom ive seen is about 60cm or 24" tall,
I would put a light proof mylar tent into your closet. you really want something that is light proof,

Fan noise and odor are another issue if having inspections, its very risky as you would need to turn off the noisy extraction fans during an inspection but as soon as you do that you will notice the smell is their.

I dont live in an apartment so cant advise on tips for you but yeah changes the game for you somewhat.
Goodluck dude

I think that space is too small, it could be done with Low Stress Training and a trellis net. Someone here went to a thrift shop and got a solid cabinet for like 20 bucks.. id check there instead, for stealth you want something that looks like regular furniture.
