This is my first grow. I needed something very stealthy so I'm growing in a 16" x 9" x 36" cabinet.
- Simple hydroponic system. Basin filled with about .75 gallon, small air pump and air stone.
- LED is 216watts (UFO full spectrum)
- Wifi outlets for control and timer on fans and LED. Also have camera so I can always have eyes inside.
- Crop King Seeds - Autoflowers - White Widow and Northern Lights. Read that these are good for beginners
and smell isn't as strong as others.
- Germinated using paper towel method. Soaked 18 hours, after 3 days put taproot down in soaked (spring water) jiffy pellet. Kept dark for 48 hours.
- After sprout, began 18/6 light schedule. No nutes for first week.
- Per instructions from the cabinet maker, I mixed 1 tsp of Maxigro in 1 gallon of water. After 1 week, I added 1/8 cup of this solution into the basin with .75 gallons of water. (Seems like a very small amount of nutes, but said go slow).
-PPMs are stable ~400 since feeding started.
-Added 1/2 cO2 pellet during week 3.
-pH was high during first week (as high as 8.3) but have been controlling with GH pH down since. Avg 6.1.
-Roots look healthy. Changing water in basin once a week. Using syphon to drain.
- Started LST. NL has been growing faster, was able to bend an expose to more light.
Sorry, no photos for first 2 weeks (just found this site!)
