Hello All. Newbie here. Introduction ;-)

Discussion in 'Indoor Grow Journals' started by Mr_Kryton, Jan 31, 2021.

  1. Hi Everyone, I'm Mike. An old Hippie, Long Time Smoker and a VERY GREEN 1st time grower.
    To make a LOOOOONG Story as short as possible......

    Wife found seeds in Baggie. Wife decided she want's to grow. Here I am, invested and Soo Confused :)
    I've had 3 of the freebie found in baggies grow, and their doing .... OK.... I guess. I've done all the reading I possibly can, but of it seems of course, every thread you read says something different. So. Instead of the standard here's what's I've done, what did I do wrong and how do I fix it, I figured I'd try a different approach then I've found on the threads, and tell you what I have and beg advice on how to best utilize it with my end goal of having as much "automation" as possible to try and help with things like 'Damn the girls got too thirsty because I work a bazillion hours a week and missed my watering schedule. I nute burned my girls to death, yadda yadda yadda.' Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

    Here's what I'm working with :)
    1 18x36 grow tent with Freelicht FL-1000 LED Grow light
    1 24x48 grow tent with Bloomspect SL-600 and SL-1000 Grow lights
    all Lights are Dimmable
    Digital timers
    A couple of small 4" Exhaust Fans (Am working on upgrading these currently, and getting clip-on's for inside the Tents.

    Blumat Auto-watering system (12 carrot)
    Dual 7 gallon tanks setup to be plumbed independently into the Blumat System for ease with Nute Changes and such.

    Fox Farm Happy Frog and Light warrior
    GH Flora-Trio
    and Prilled Dolomite Lime

    A collection of Auto's and Photo's of various strains from MSNL
    With one Bubblegum Auto Fem and one Caramelicious Auto Fem
    2 days as of this post - Direct Seed to Soil in 50/50 Happy Grog and Light Warrior in 3 Gallon Cloth Pots keeping the soil around the seeds moist (Blumats are not in use at this time)
    With just straight dechlorinated tap water PH'd to ~6.5-6.7 (Have R/O water available as well)

    That's about it, sorry I know I tend to ramble. Especially when I medicate before posting :)
    Again, thanks in advance, and have a Blessed day.
    Mike...

  4. Welcome to the forums!
    Only advice I can give is dont expect help, rely on yourself while you wait for help, researchx100, never act on one source of info, post pictures(it lures more people to the thread), and have fun with a good attitude towards your plants.

    Be prepared to treat bugs, even if you wont have to
    Start small with nutes and work your way up incrementally
    Add extra aeration to the pot thatll house the rest of your plants life
    Dont overcrowd ur tent
    Those are the only things i actually dealt with in soil a long time ago.

    Maybe consider making your own soil.

    Good luck!
    Theres a lot of soil pros here, im 100% not one of em lol
