Well here's the first attempt at keeping track of my whole operation, hopefully keeping one of these will help it run smoother as well. First off for medium we're using some cocogro, and for lights we're using some basic CFL's for the very start of seedling growth, and then moving them over to a 400W HPS for the rest of their lives. We had a MH fixture but realized it was essentially garbage and gives off no growing properties. For ferts we'll be using the Technaflora Recipe For Success Kit, and adjusting PH with General Hydroponics pH UP and DOWN. Anybody else out there using this kit let me know of any pointers you'd like to share, we've used it once and had no real issues though. Working on germinating 6 Bubblegum X White Widow, 1 Purple Haze bag seed, and 1 Purple Diesel. So far 4 have sprouted, not sure which ones though. I'll upload some pics in a few days.
Just realized there's actually a section for journals...anybody feel like telling me how to move this thread there? I can't figure it out.
My mistake...let me explain myself. I would love to have a MH for veg, but the ones we have don't work. We got a few of them for free when my workplace liquidated it's entire stock. (It was a retail store, the MH bulbs were for industrial use and not for growing.) They were probably on for months to years, hence not really working for growing. Due to...money constraints...we're forced to simply use the HPS. Should have clarified myself earlier...but ya know . And this will be our 2nd real grow...The first time really didn't count.
