NoobyMacDooby's Grow: Less Nooby More Dooby!

Little grow update:

kids coming along, 10 year old NYD hasnt died yet so could just make it:


Chopped down one of the 2 remaining locomotions as it got seeded pretty badly by the other one that went hermie on me. The remaining one does at least look pretty:



 
Good evening mr.N I won't be lying if I say those are some really awsome colors you've coaxed out the girls. I remember you mentioning you were dropping the temps with them abit....
I reckon anyone of us would love those colors, awsome job fella.

Yeah every time there's been a cold spell I vent the room at night to suck in the cold air. tTe lowest its been was 15c but mostly its around 18 to 20 compared to 25c at lights on. It might be that a combination of the LEDS and enough of a temperature change helps to bring out the colours.
 
Those buds are looking very tasty Noob. Should be some excellent smoke.

You still chopping on Thursday?
 
Noobymacdooby here with the start of my 3rd grow. As the title states I'm trying to learn to be a better grower so help and feedback appreciated. This will be my 1st grow however with good genetics. Super excited but nervous too, don't want to mess things up but that is part of learning.

Some grow info:

Indoor grow size:
1.7 x 1.5m - good plant amount, about 6 of them and I can reach the plants

Indoor nursery:
1.2m x 50cm

Lights: LED diy cobs and quantum boards for grow room, flurorescent for nursery

I got about 95% of my information on led lights from Growmau5 and built myself some lights. Got the idea of a somewhat modular setup from GreenGenes Gardens where you use a frame and make the lights in bars which can move along the frame. And my oldman happens to be an electronics guru so he helped me verify that I got the right parts and although the wiring is pretty simple and done in series, he did it for me making it look rather spiffy.

Soil or Hydro?
Both, doing soil and a deep water culture setup

If soil... what is in your mix?
Organic compost, bonemeal, coco, perlite, worm castings, kelp powder, dolomite, rock dust, mycroroot, ocean grow organic fert.
For seedlings: 50/50 coco coir / worm castings


Temp: 25 - 28 degrees,
RH of Room: 60 - 70 5 during veg - 40 -50% during flower
PH - 6.5 to 7 for soil and PH 5.5 for DWC

Pests, bugs:
Freakin gnats

How often are you watering?
When needed

I'm based in South Africa so I am limited somewhat in the nutrient and additives department but hopefully I can find or make alternatives for the bits I can't buy. Using Bio Bizz nutes for the soil when needed and EHG nutes for the DWC. I'l aslo be doing sprout teas + FPJ's and other organic microbe additives on the soil side.

I set up the space for seedlings so I can have a sort of perpetual grow or at least save on veg time. Used some bag seed to do some testers under the lights and to check the height and spacing:

And these are happily growing under a cob floodlight I got given:

Then popped some seed:

already on the go.


So far one seed popped. I was a bit too eager to pop seeds and did not check the weather or the moon. Popped then on the new moon along with a 2 day cold spell..... hoping real hard the other sprout too but it's only been 2 days so maybe panicking too soon.
Looks good. where those your plants growing to

yeah all my plants

Chopped today, sigh found a damn male flower on it...not even a nanner but full male flower. Just can't figure out what part of my setup is making me pop out hermies so often. Did a bunch of research, checked everything but they just keep coming back.
I know on the loco run I left a light on that's a green bulb with some green packets on that I use if I need to go into the room at dark but it was on for maybe 4 days and it's just a coloured bulb not led etc. So will see on this loco cookie run if I can do a non hermies session.
