    so hello
    i just started to grow 5 gnomo fem auto flowering seeds.
    equipment-
    1- 4 tube t5 2' long for starting/veg
    1- 400w hp bulb
    1- 400w lumatek dimmable ballast
    1- hydrofarm 21''x 23'' air cooler reflector- for flowering
    5- 2 gallon pots(each have tray for water drainage)
    1- 3x3x5 secret jardin grow tent
    2- 4'' clip on fans
    1- 8'' oscillating fan
    1- humidity/temp themomiter.
    1- digital ph tester
    2- 5 gallon water jugs to store water
    ph up
    ph down
    nutrients- im using the 6 pack foxfarm soil pack
    soil- foxfarm ocean forest potting soil

    so this is not me first grow just my first grow journal. ill work on uploading picts of my set up as soon as i figure that out.
    for this grow i took 5 2 liter soda bottles (clear) and cut them at the line close to the bottom were the label starts. then cut 3 holes in the bottom for drainage. this way i germinate them straight in soil and when i can almost see the roots threw the containers i transplant into the 2 gallon pots. these are under 18/6 using my t5 until my first transplant were ill stick them under the 400w hp.
    started the seeds on may 4th. took 3 days for them to pop out of the soil. not using nutz yet cause the soil im using is already inhanced.
    because these are auto flower im not sure how to follow the foxfarm nutz schedule cause these will not be in veg for 4 weeks. any suggestions?!!

  2. so here we are on day 4 after i planted the gnomo seeds and they are already popping threw the soil. i took some more pictures of my grow tent and the temp/humidity is at a good 72/75F with 41% humidity with lights on and 66/68F with same humidity level. i know when the 400w goes in there i will have to start ventilation asap. its just gonna keep getting hotter outside[​IMG]

  9. so i have only had to water these babies once in 8 days. it has been very wet out and i just think the humidity is playing a big role on why these pots still are wet and have allot of water weight to them. humidity has been a steady 61%
     
  10. sorry i havent been keeping everyone updated. i have been re doing my hallway so i can make a bigger box so i can use my 1000wt hps bulb. wallpaper stripping, primer and trim work done. just need to paint then make a ventilation system and im good to go. gnomo are deff auto fem and going strong. this heat wave is killing me so thats the reason for making bigger closet
     
  11. so i finished to hallway. finally. painted and ready to go. just need these auto flowers to be done to change closet from having the grow tent inside to the whole closet being the grow room. ill trow my 1000wt reflector in there after i harvest. so here is some pictures of my 5 week old babies. they started flowering 3 weeks after i planted them in the dirt. they are now 5 weeks old

  13. Since you seem pretty experianced, I picked up one of these to try out. Do you think it will make the 7-8 week harvest as they claim? Also kind if curious what you think the per plant yeild will be on these bad boys, just as a rough estimate?

    I plant to LST mine just for fun. Also, what's the light schedule you are using? You may have posted it but I can't see it on this app when I'm replying and I'm too lazy to type all this again lol. Thanks for any input
     
  14. Did the thread die? Hows it going?
