Let me start by saying i am a novice to Growing but enjoy the end product so its gotta be worth a try.
So... in my arsenal i have a wardrobe steath grow (enough for a couple of plants) with a soon to be separate 18/6 mother chanber.
I have 2 Envirolights, one in a Blue Spectrum and one in a Red Spectrum for flowering. Both are rated at 200Watts.
I have 4x 3.2ltr pots, and 1x 5.8ltr superpot.
I will be using Miracle Grow (Thanks GG) for veg, and untill i find a UK flowering product i can get my hands on i'm using Miracle Grow Restore (Which i dont know the NPK values but its working quite well)
The water around our place is spot on, PH tested at 6.2 with low chlorine content so i use this after its been left in the cabinet to acclimatise.
I have other fitter CFL's fitted around the cabinet for additional lighting basically one big well lit area.
All sides are painted in Matt White emultion.
The flooring is a work of art... I cut out the bottom and fixed in place the side off a PC case, the case was an old one of mine and has 1000's+ of holes creating a extreemly strong but well vented surface and as there are hole i have no drainage issues, under the wardrobe is a 2 inch gap to which i slid in some 12inch drip trays to catch excess water and also to increase humidity.
I installed a 240volt 120mm Fan into the back sealed with a vent hose off a tumble dryer coated it in aluminium foil and shoved a pair of tights over the whole thing to ensure it didnt move, the vent hose runs to a vent duct in the exterior wall of the house... complete stealth (You wouldnt know.)
I sealed the cabinet with Draft Excluder also creating it light proof.
So, intake through the floor, 0 light leakage and extraction...hmmm needs a fan wouldn't you say
... slapped in a 6 inch static.
Bought a Humidity/Temp Monitor off Flee Bay - Quick Check... 82'f / 55% RH
Bought myself a couple of seeds, one i say off a time lapse from google - it looked awesome, so i found the strain (wasn't easy) and bagged myself some of those.
They came an arrived with some others (freeby Bagseed).
I successfully germinated them and grew the first batch until flowering and like being shot... it turned out to be male
, which pissed me off somewhatbut hayho... back on the job.
Germinated another and again spent a couple of months with it till flowering... lets just say i dont like being shot... so in the bin with another failed attempt.
Heard a shit load of mixed stuff about the lowryder seeds but after reading some good reports about the #2 gen i figured... why not!
Lets just make the next bit short - 8 lowryders were male from 10, the other two seeds i havn't germinated, waste of time, and i grew 2x4 per grow... fortunately i didnt have to wait long on these but still a waste of two months... god damn this growin shits hard.
Surely thats it... no more fuckin testosterone
- I Cant take this shit anymore...
Then just as i thought i couldnt take it anymore a test seed from my first order germinated and set off... it was make or break cause after that i was growing 10 at once just to get a female...
I heard and read about LST off here and thanks to the like off GG and others my previous attempts have given me the knowledge on what to do and when, and i thank all you guys for the previous support +Rep to U all
Anywho this is more a re post but i thought i'd let you lot know how my journey started into growing.
The pics below are of the start out with this plant. I keep all pictures of all grwoths until finnished, as with the other growths, i delete the male growth logs... no pint in keepin em.
I also added my Kit pictures
