1st Grow, 1st Grow thread-Doing it in the snow

[syncro92]

Good afternoon everyone,
This is my second post and my first new topic. My GF and I have been smoking for a while and not knowing what we were smoking bugged us. My GF has a herniated disk and is in pain most of the time, in November we started talking about growing and here we are. I went through Nirvana and ordered feminized Blackjack for her and AK48 for me, (I want to know what high THC levels really are) and have been insulating some basement walls and just getting ready. I got all the materials from with in Canada, (would you believe Amazon wont sell me a tent?) and am just waiting for my aircooled light fixture to show up. I have also been taking notes from the GWE website and following Whattze's grow. I will be planting 2 AK48 and 2 Blackjack.
I have included some pictures to situate you with how I am set up

HELL YEA....thats a sweet little set up!!! gonna sub this and check it out.

[syncro92]

Thanks, I just hope its not too boring for you!

[growingforanxiety]

dude tent grows are what interest me the most...i cant relate to 30 light grows lol

[syncro92]

I will be using a Coco-Perlite mix in 7 gallon smart pots under a 600W MH/HPS set up. My exhaust line is plugged into the dryer vent and the dryer end is blocked off. I normally exhaust my dryer inside over the winter because everything gets so very dry here. I here every one talking about distilled water and am wondering if tap water with the right pH levels will be ok? Do those that use distilled water make their own? So thats about it for me for now, I need to see where my light fixture is...Happy New Year from The great White North!

I also use tap water without any problems. Where I live it's pretty soft, without much mineral content.

[Flockshot]

I use a 'activated charcoal' filter that is good for about 30,000 gallons. I do not know if it is necessary, but it doesn't hurt. My PPM coming out of the filter is about 80.

[OlldDude]

Tap water for sure, distilled or purified has no minerals...ppm's about 50 here, right out of the tap...West Coast

[dontknownuttin]

I bet Green wants one for testing out his free seeds

I like tap water over distilled water because of the minerals in the tap water. Not all tap water suitable, if there is to much minerals, or bad minerals, arsenic, iron or too much chlorine The minerals could harm you or you plants.

[dontknownuttin]

I use distilled only! I add all stuff needed by the plant in amounts I choose worked for me

[insomniaczzz]

Great setup. You are doing it the right way. Be completely ready before seeds are germinated. Is your tap water chlorinated? If so, bad for plants. eBay is a pretty big deal in Canada.....you can buy all necessary equipment and products to grow except for the seeds.

Good luck to both of you. Growing is so much fun, you will both be hooked!

[Nartak]

I like the setup!Done your homework on tools and such,lets see you get muddy now Scribbed

Im also on a 600w MH/HPS Aircooled setup,it will be a nice comparison !

Good luck matie!

Hi Syncro & GF

Find some rapid rooters they are just the best to grow with. I only grow the Highest THC I can find and you'll be surprised what it can do. And you don't have to just smoke it we have great recipes here. Keep in touch and ask away !

[Karlee]

Try this out
http://www.canadianwholesalehydroponics.com the rapid rooters are a good buy!

[Nartak]

Karlee might i ask,would you then consider a SoG at any time in your growing life with this : https://www.zamnesia.com/fastbuds-au...feminized.html ? I was thinking of dumping the Wilma and getting 6 smart pots + Canna Coco Medium (thats what i can get where i am),use canna's feed which i have and just SoG these purple poisonous babies!

Sorry,i posted Zamnesia because to come to me these seeds it's the cheapest site in the EU,the rest start at a minimum of 12euros extra from this one!!

[syncro92]

I got a lot of stuff from them Karlee, they are great!

[Canuck147]

West coast or east? Don't want the flower stores, look up hydroponic, they'll have everything you need. Except seeds. True North Seed Bank has those.

[syncro92]

Not quite the coast but here in Quebec, freezing for another 3 months!

[Canuck147]

If you want free seeds syncro92 go to 'Overgrow Canada' and sign up.

[syncro92]

Just did, thanks for the info!

[CCOiler]

Subscribed syncro92, nice setup, great start, can't wait to see your little babies

[Royal Nugs]

Ahh, very clean setup. Me likey.

It sounds like you have everything figured out. Looking forward to watching the progress.

Good luck!

[syncro92]

I'm glad you like the setup and I wish I had everything figured out. The GWE website gave me all the reading material and info

[hellen]

syncro92, the setup looks great.

[syncro92]

Thank you, no kids at home and quite handy with tools. the hardest part was cleaning up to have enough room. I tought I was getting a 4' X 4' tent, turns out its more like 5' X 5'!
