Here's the set up
1st timer
1-400 watt HPS
2-150 watt HPS
1-Jardin D 90 (used to start clones and tomatoes and cilantro)
1-Playskool kid's desk
Vegged for 8 weeks
Flowering start of 5th week
No carbon filter
Temps were in 90's, humidity was 80
Temps today are 80/humidity reader not working
Most of my equipment was used, purchased on Craigslist, $120.00 for tent, 400 watt light and See MoreBuds dvd vol 1-4 . 150 watts purchased for $80.00, one did not have reflector, used a tin foil pan till I get one. Just purchased another 150 watt for $41.00 on ebay, will move 2 150 watts to tent when needed.
Venting to attic from bathroom vent/access trap door in floor brining in fresh air from kitchen below, no smell inside or outside of house YET.
Checking everyday for pest and mold, none seen
ORGANIC GROW, I purchase manure from farmer down the street, it is a mixture of rabbit, cow, pig and chickens, they sell large 5 gallon containers for $2.00 each. I make compost tea from this, makes the room smell like I'm raising animals upstairs, P.S. I have 5 dogs and 2cats. They leave my grow alone, except one kitty loves to lay in front of them with lights on.
I add fish emulsion, thrive, No Shock, Bloom from Advanced N. I also sprinkle bonemeal from Miracle grow on top of flowering plants. I have been using rainwater, but we have not had any rain for weeks, so am now using tap water sitting for 24 hours, add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to adjust ph.
My clones are started in rockwool, I just add water to bottom of tray and use nutes as needed, they sit in the playskool desk under a T-5 light.
The first few weeks of starting my new hobby were time consuming, now I visit twice a day for up to 15 minutes or as needed. I am also using 5 gallon fabric pots or air pots, they have handles on sides and help with moving.
I am growing for pain relief of arithritic back and hands, and insomnia//
Tomatoes are moved outside and already flowering in 5 gallon pots and cilantro growing with them inside of each pot. Beautiful
I am really enjoying watching the growing process, and caring for my babies.
Again, thanks for your help
