**Update Time**
Hey everyone, didn't get around to doing an update yesterday, was pretty busy when we got home from the city doing a bit of shopping. Also did some shopping for the garden
Not much but it's something, didn't have a lot to spend. Grabbed some new fluorescent lights for the veg room to add a little extra lighting and some other little goodies.. I was going to get light sockets and cfl's with some wire and make my own light setup but these fluoro's cost about the same in the end and easier to set up. Lets get started and we will lay it all out as to what's been done in here.
First up, we will talk about the new lights I guess. I grabbed 2 T8 ballasts (2 bulb x 48") and 4 - 32W bulbs. 2 bulbs are 5000K and 2 are 4100K. Cost right around $100 all together and no wiring required, plug in and go! So now this is what I have in the tent...
2 x T5 6500K @ 54W
2 x T8 5000K @ 32W
2 x T8 4100K @ 32W
(All bulbs are 48")
This leaves me with a total of 236 watts, better than just the 108 watts I had in there before, now we also have 3 different spectrums of light
Instead of trying to move all these lights up and down and getting frustrated, I decided to put my little work table in there for time being to hold the babies, this will have to change eventually as they get bigger of course. Works for now, I will just keep finding things to set under the plants lol.
Some of the other little gadgets I got pretty cheap while out shopping..
I could not pass up a couple of these power bars with built in timers!! Regular $25, marked down 50% with a $10 instant rebate thru our power company, got them for $2.50 each! They also had a ton of led lights for around the house for $1 after rebate to haha.. Anyway here is the power bar, it has 7 programmable settings and can be set daily, all week, weekdays or weekends. Worked for me at lights on this morning!
I also got a new digital thermometer.. I wanted one with a hygrometer built in but I wasn't paying $30-50 for one at this time after getting the lights, I will wait until I see one on sale, everything is always overpriced!
This thermometer will track my min and max temps each day, I can just reset it whenever, it also gives my the temp inside the tent (probe is set up in one of the pots) and outside the tent where the device sits. Has an alarm and calendar as well, got it for 8 bucks lol
Got another small fan as well, this one is blowing toward the lights over top of the plants to keep the heat moving away from them. I have the other one set down below the table keeping the air moving in somewhat of a circular motion.
The other thing I picked up was a bale of ProMix HP with Mycorrizae. Once the photo girls get up potted again I am going to need it so I don't use all of my seedling mix. This promix is high porosity which makes it harder to over water and doesn't come with any nutrients in it, all it has it the mycorrizae. Here is what it's made up of for those who don't know..
65-75% Sphagnum Peat Moss
Perlite - high porosity improving drainage and air flow
Limestone - helps adjust ph to optimum range, also a source of Calcium and Magnesium (good since I use RO water)
Wetting agent - a substance that helps let the water penetrate evenly throughout
Mycorrizae - a growth enhancer for the roots to help with nutrient uptake, also adds to stress resistance
Now.. On to the plants!!
We will try to make this part go a little more quick since I over explained everything in the first portion of the update haha. Got all the babies planted and plastic set over them to keep humidity up til they pop. The others are still moving along fine, lets have a peek..
CB Dutch Treat
Day - 23
Still nice and healthy green, still no watering since transplant, not even sure how many days ago that was right this minute.. Hopefully the roots are searching around in there, next watering will be around the outside edges since the transplant plug may still be damp.
Hash Plant
Day - 23
This gal seems to be perky and bushy today, getting some of its color back now so it must have liked that light feeding back at the time of transplanting. Just another happy one, awaiting a drink as well I would imagine, likely wait til tomorrow.
CB Dream
Day - 4
Not much to say here. I knocked this one over last night and quickly picked it back up, some dirt spilled out, I pushed it back down into the cup and topped it up with new dirt. Needless to say she's still perky this morning.
Purple Kush
Day - 4
Still a wee one but it's coming along! Really not much to report on this baby today, still coming along strong
Train Wreck & Revolver
The one train wreck that was planted early is starting to poke up thru the dirt but not quite yet. Either later tonight or by the morning we should have 1 or more babies, hopefully all tomorrow and be easy to keep track of days haha. Just playing the waiting game now..
Thanks you all for stopping in and sorry for such a long update. At least with me covering everything and giving all the info this way saves a lot of questions about the equipment
Have a great weekend, see you all around!!
), likelihood of hermaphrodism, likelihood of finding a keeper phenotype with just the one seed, how it grows, feeds, smells during the grow, smells/tastes after harvest, pretty much any information I can get in a nutshell (thanks).
Hi!
My plan with starting just 1 of all these photo strains is so that I can figure out how they grow and then improve on the next ones
