Grow 5 journal. On this forum it's 5 lol

[FurnaceBoi]

Well I find myself in the position to have time for a new grow. Have a nice selection of seeds. Going to put 3 autos down so I have a Christmas/ new years harvest and gonna make an Ayahusca purple mom for the next generation.

4 plants in 3 to 5 gallon pots. 3 auto, I fem reg.
2x4 tent. 1800 watts led light Remo nutrients full program. Advanced nutrients B52 and microbial munch.
promix HP with 30% perlite

The tent has been idle for too long lol.

Check your light specs again. I've never seen an 1800w grow light or heard of one.

A 150w light would be fine in a tent that size for autos or 200w to 250w for photoperiod plants.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Welcome back FurnaceBoi looking forward to the grow

 

[FurnaceBoi]

They sell it as 1800 w. Realistically it will replace a 600w hps.
I'm an electronic technician and now work for a grow light company in Canada.

It also has a potentiometer to control output.

It's a nice light.

 

[FurnaceBoi]

Thanks hon. How have you been? I guess we're both still standing lol. 😁

I'm looking forward as well.

Upright and moble still FurnaceBoi harvesting outdoor photos and doing it all by hand trimming. Oh what we do for our hobbies. :tongue-out:

 

[FurnaceBoi]

Precisely. I'm excited for this new grow. All new auto genetics and a proven regular strain.

 

[FurnaceBoi]

I have an AC UNIT now. Pretty stoked. Environment control. I'll hillbilly it for sure lol.

 

[FurnaceBoi]

Well I haven't been very diligent posting on this grow, but here's a rundown lol. Dropped 3 cream auto from Bimburn and 1 of my old reliable cheese auto freebie.

Soaked the seeds overnight and used paper towel method.

Here's where it gets interesting lol. I prepared tap water, checked PH. Was perfect from the tap. The seeds all germinated and were planted in 3 gallon pots. Well after sprouting they looked ill and grew slowly.

1 seed rotted and the other looked weird and wasn't growing. Long story short I rechecked the water and it was at 8. I killed my seeds with acid rain lol.

Anyway I saved the cheese and one cream. Have since dropped 1 ayahuasca purple photo for next generation. It needs repotting.

BTW I have since installed a humidifier also. Fighting dry Canadian winter air in veg. Finally have it over 50%

 

[FurnaceBoi]

In so far as my hillbilly solutions. I am more than happy to show you low volt solutions for small spaces

 

[SoOrbudgal]

I always thought whatever works to get yourself to harvest some great bud. I like simple hillbilly they are very inventive

 

[FurnaceBoi]

Girls are sleeping right now but will send pics of the low volt hardware when I wake them up.

Computer fans. 12v, 5v humidity control. I haven't attempted remote control yet. But most parts can be purchased easily online. I can send schematics if anyone wants.

This is tailored to a 2x4 tent.

 

[FurnaceBoi]

Using 12v computer fans for intake and exhaust.5v Chinese mist maker for humidity and also built my other humidifiers with parts from Amazon. Repurp osed a dead light for electrical box to make it safe. Salvaged 4 12v transformers from broken light.

Reported Ayahuasca photo.

 

[FurnaceBoi]

BTW repotted the photo to a 3 gallon

 

[FurnaceBoi]

Humidity finally under control.

 

[FurnaceBoi]

Light at 70%

 

[FurnaceBoi]

Well the autos are in flower. Took about 2 days for pots to dry just fed first flower program. Week 1. Topped and prepped photo for manifold.

 

[FurnaceBoi]

The autos look healthy and I'm going to get some bud off them but I don't think it'll be a record breaking yield.
my rookie ph mistake after germination likely stunted them.

My money is on my photo. One day after starting manifold. It's responding well. Cheese auto, cream auto. Ayahuasca manifold started.

 

[FurnaceBoi]

Part 2 of above lol.

I'm already liking what I see from the photo. Nice thick stalk etc. Bushy appearance. I bought 3 beans from Canuk seeds. This first pheno looks good so far. Elite strain.

 

[FurnaceBoi]

Maybe they will do a little better than I expected. The Autos seemed to like the new nutrient program for flower. Only watered 3 days ago.

This ayahuasca photo is looking great. Responding great to high stress training. 3 days after topping.

cheese auto, ayahuasca purple photo, cream auto.
