Multi Strain Automatic Female Grow

Hey guys this is my first journal on this forum. I will be doing an indoor closet grow of 9-12 female auto-flowering plants. This is a soil grow. I will be using FoxFarm Ocean Forest.

I have some awesome nutes. I have Botanicare Pure Blend Pro GROW, Pure Blend Pro BLOOM, Liquid Karma. I also have some Advanced Nutrients Bud Ignitor and some Advanced Nutrients Final Phase.. It should be an AMAZING grow.

The seeds should be here in a couple days. I ordered them from a UK bank and got some awesome freebies along with them. I ordered....

3 Samsara Seeds Supersonic Cristal Storm Automatic fem
3 Sweet Seeds Big Devil Feminized
5 Paradise Seeds Vertigo Feminized
1 SAGARMATHA SEEDS AK48 Automatic Feminized

and i got some freebies

1 T H Seeds Burmese Kush Feminized
1 T H Seeds Kushage Feminized
1 T H Seeds S.A.G.E Feminized
1 Dinafem Seeds Blue Hash Feminized
2 T H Seeds Heavy Duty Fruity Regular
2 T H Seeds Darkstar Regular
1 G13 Labs New Strain Feminized
1 Dinafem Seeds Blue Widow Feminized
1 Dinafem Seeds Critical + Feminized

I will be posting photos and weekly updates of the grow. Any advice will be greatly appreciated and I will consider all suggestions.. I look foward to this grow.

hey rusha, i know its still early but im subbin in anyways. excited for you to get all of these ladies in the dirt. how about some more detailed about your set-up like size, lights, ventilation and all that jazz. also what bank did you go with if you dont mind me askin? i got mine from single seeds, great shipping but no freebies. maybe i just didnt order enough but would be good to know for next time ..

ditto

The setup is still in the works. I just moved so I have a few things that haven't arrived yet. But I am using a 400w hps.. Possibly a 600w if I can get my hands on it.. I have a tent but it's to big for what I need.. So I am gonna order a 48x24x60 that will fit nicely in my closet.. I will have the light cooled with ducting and 500cfm fans running to an external carbon scrubber.. I have a t5 I am gonna start the seedlings under for about a week or 2 before moving them to the tent... Don't worry I am gonna take photos of the setup and the progress.. I will update the journal at least once a week.

And thank you guys for tuning in.. It should take off in about a week.. Beans just cleared customs.. So I'm giving it 3 days. Oh ya I used attitude. They are really good.

Alright... so maybe a change in plans.. the lady at the hydroponic store gave me a bag of canna coco and some canna A and canna B to try out... i put some habanero pepper seeds in it to try it out... the problem is.. i dont understand it... like the setup or any of it

do i need trays under the 2 gal pots?? do i water it until it drains out of the bottom? what do i do? i cant find much detailed information. I might just stick to the fox farm but if this stuff is really all she said its cracked up to be i want to use it.

any advice or help.. ANYTHING?? I'll have my beans in a few days.. i just wanna figure it out

i would put something under the pot and i woul water untill water slightly drains out and then check the ph of the run off.i dont know much about the canna cocco but its only as good as your solution of neuts.are you hand watering?

Ya i was going to hand water but i figured rather than trying an entire grow knowing nothing about it i would just do the peppers in the canna coco and my girls old school in the foxfarm... at least until i understand more... i had a problem with my ballast so i am having to find a new hps.. the seeds should be here any day now. I expect them to be delayed because everything is delayed from that damn earthquake in japan.

Alright well i still haven't gotten my seeds... and i haven't found a new light yet.. I found a guy selling 2 hydrafarm hoods with 200w cfls but he hasn't gotten back to me yet.. I did however get a temporary grow light that can buy me a couple weeks after i start the grow.. I got my tent today and if fits lovely in my closet. I can fit 10 2gal pots in it nicely. and the closet slides right shut. You cant even tell its there.. Its great. I havent got the whole system together yet but i have a few photos of the tent in the closet with the florescent grow light and the pots... its pretty cool.

Very nice, which grow tent is this? Brand wise.

Honestly I have no clue.. it didnt have a name on it. I got it for 85 bucks because one of the elbows was broken. Its brand new and has like 10 velcro ports on it... and the quality is top notch... it weight like 25 lbs and has light weight poles...

Looks like this one which I ordered: [ame=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002V9PBXO]Amazon.com: 4x4' Mylar HYDROPONIC GROW TENT 48x48x76 HYDRO BOX HUT by LEDwholesalers, GYO1008: Sports & Outdoors[/ame]

yeah it does. I bought this one on ebay. its 48x24x60 though... i was gonna get a 4x4 but i wanted something that fit in my closet. i might buy another tent like this one for the other side later. im trying to trade somebody my rockstar energy drink refrigerator for a carbon filter and fan.

Do you have parts laying around? If so, you can try the crappy way I built a carbon scrubber in my link. It's designed for tents. Granted the fan is like 40 CFMs, so you may want to find a better one

yeah i have read alot of guides. i am trading sombody my ipod for a really nice 400w hps tomorrow.. I figure i can make it a couple weeks without a filter. I can get a 400 cfm fan for like 40 bucks locally and then i would need ducting which is cheap.. ill post some pics of the light.. the hood is big.. like 24x24

Looks like a street light! That thing is massive. Looks like its got some nice pre drilled holes for a pulley system too!

yeah its as big as the washing machine lol... I dont mind a massive hood... maybe it wont blow up

I just ordered this: [ame=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004DFO072]Amazon.com: 4 Inch Hydroponic Inline Air Carbon Filter Odor Control: Kitchen & Dining[/ame] along with a fan. My temp solution works, but I want something more robust

P.S. How much wattage is that thing? 600?
