My 1St Ever Auto Grow (Last Was A Photo Grow)

Discussion in 'Indoor Grow Journals' started by oldskoolstoner, Sep 12, 2014.

  1. ok I,ve done 1 grow before, skunk and tooty fruity both were photoperiods and reached 4 & 6 feet.
    so now im growing autos coz I don't want 6 feet high monsters again, faster to grow so I can try more variety in less time :p
     
    I had 6 seeds, 3 think differrant by dutch passion and 3 sweet tooth by barneys farm.
     
    1/2 plant magic soil, 1/4 ewc (plagrons megaworm), 1/4 perlite
    1.2mx1.2mx2m tent, LED (700watt mars 2), 6 inch wolfnado extractor with 2 speed settings, rhino pro filter, 1 fan inside tent on a rig to keep it canopy level and 2x 6 inch passive intakes with homemade bug filters
     
    all 6 weant into water for 12 hrs (didn't wait for them to sink, just wanted to wake them up)
    then into paper towels, 6 hrs later 1 had taproot 1/2mm so potted it, and dropped it twice :/
    I then decided to put all of them into soil b4 I drop them all, I got really shakey hands
     
    the next day I had 5 seedlings above the soil, even the one I dropped :)
    its now 7 days later and sweet tooth no.3 still not popped, so its dead. 5 out of 6 not bad :)

     
  2. not much else to say atm, not watering them yet just misting with plain tap water and turning pots once a day :)
     
  3. Dude you can put them light down to 6inches and be safe.

    Loki has had hit buds touching his LEDs and they wernt affected at all :)

    What's your temps in there?

  4. temps should be fine room at 22 canopy at 27.7 and all about 20 lights off
     
  5. 24-29 is the temp range so you are almost at the higher end, maybe that strain isn't liking 28degree temps.

    just checked and now I raised light 2 inches canopy is 25, see if that stops it.
     
    or should I put my oscilating fan on full speed, scared it will break the stems :p
     
     
    EDIT: also turned my extractor upto full. see what happens with that in 30 mins :)
     
    now I got a new grow room, I gotta get everything back in sink again :/

    Dude the light is better closer... The further away the less efficient the light becomes.

    As for the fan speed you will have to use your own judgement on that, I used to have two 6inch fans on full power :)

    But since your got lil plants at the moment, you will need to check your extract and Intake.

    What's the cfm of your fan and what size tent?

  9. well I just added an edit, my extractor only on half :p gonna check again in a min
     
  10. ok think ive nailed that now :)
     
    lights 10  inches canopy 26.1
     
    now my extractor and fan on full, just hope the neighbours don't here the air rushing out the window :p
     
  11. 10inches is MUCH better than 18, if temps keep dropping move it down a tad more :)
