DAILY (as much as possible) UPDATES IN THE DISCUSSION AREA OF THE BLOG
This is being posted one day later so technically its day 2 of germination but oh well.....
Decided to give indoor cannabis growing a shot since I am getting tired of buying from the store and had always wanted to give it a shot. So i splurged on an AC Infinity 3x3x6ft grow kit and bought a bunch of different strains from Mephisto. Decided to start my growing adventure with 3x Double Grape and 1x Crème de la Chem. I intend to keep this blog updated as much as possible with their progress. Any advice/questions are welcomed. I'll start by listing what I have used for equipment so far.
Equipment:
-AC Infinity Grow Tent Kit 3x3x6ft (Controller 69 PRO, IONBOARD S33 240W, Clip Fan, Ventilation Fan/Charcoal Filter)
-4x 3 gal. fabric pots on raised trays in a plastic saucer
-AC Infinity Humidifier
-Dehumidifier (not used)
-Spare AC Infinity clip fan (not used)
-BlueLab PH Pen
Double Grape:
-Gaia Green Living Soil
-Gaia Green All Purpose 4-4-4
-Gaia Green Power Bloom 2-8-4
-Gaia Green Worm Casting
Crème de la Chem (CDLC):
-Pro-Mix HP Soil
-Gaia Green All Purpose 4-4-4
-Gaia Green Power Bloom 2-8-4
-Gaia Green Worm Casting
My local store only had 1x bag of Gaia Living Soil so had to by a bag of Pro-Mix HP to be able to fill all 4x 3gal. pots. The soil mix for the Double Grape is 66% Living, 33% Worm Casting and amended with 1 tbsp of 50/50 All Purpose and Power Bloom per gallon of medium. I could have went heavier with the amendments but i will just amend the top soil earlier than planned. Around the late 2 week mark of vegetation instead of the planned week 4.
Changed it up a little for the CDLC. Soil mix is 75% Pro-Mix HP, 25% Worm Casting and amended with 3 tbsp of 50/50 All Purpose and Power Bloom per gallon of medium. This one will stay on track for the 4 week amendment plan. I'll keep an eye on how they react to their different soil mixtures and keep note for the next grow.
Both seeds are being germinated directly in the medium. Slightly watered with 6.3 pH dechlorinated water and will check in 2 days if i have to sprinkle more water on. Current conditions in the tent are 25 Celsius, 67% Humidity and 1.04 kPa. From what I've read on the subject, I think these conditions are pretty good.
EDIT#1: Forgot to mention the light setup. The S33 is about 22 inches above the soil. Set at 60% intensity. On 24hrs a day at the moment.
I'm looking forward to learning the ins-and-outs of cannabis growing. My plan is to do a couple runs of Mephisto Autos since I have sooooooo many freebies that I want to try out (BIG THANKS to Mephisto for that) as well as the actual strains that I purchased. Once that is complete, I will give phenos a shot once I can settle on a fire strain to try out.
