In the Beginning - My 1st grow. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Days of planning and building and researching have led me to build a 2 system bubbler in my closet. My goal is to yield 3 plants from each harvest. I will be using 1600 Lumen cfc lighting for my seedling/clone greenhouse as well as for all but 2 weeks of the vegetation phase. I hope to
to clone 6 cuttings each cycle moving the best 4 to a a veg bubbler made in 5 gallon bucket with a sunleaves Reservoir Aeration Kit. The veg bubbler will be using 3" flex pots. The flower room will have a larger bubbler made from a cooler with 3 6" flex pots. And a 602gph durapump and 12" air stone.
Medium will be mix of hydroton and coco coir.
Nutrients hardwater flora kit.
Ph - 5.5 to 5.8
EC - 1.5-1.7
Strain - White Widow Feminized
Clone and Vegetation stage 1 Lights -4 1600 CFC Lights
Vegetation Stage 2 and Flowering Light -400 Watt Super HPS MH Grow Light System Digital Dimmable Hydroponic 400w hps mh grow light set kit. I would like to soak more money here but cant right now.
Co2 system will be made from 1 qt soda bottles with sugar and yeast.
Venting through old wood stove vent so that should not be bad.
Cooling with 120mm Case fans off a 12 v supply.
I will post some early pics of my room later tonight.
Here is what I would love to see happen and would love any advice I can get. I have my seeds (WW fems ) on way from seed bank. I plan to put them in starter pods and of course hope I can get a few sprouts. Plan on maintaining them in my mini greenhouse until they are about 6" with 1600 CFC's (24hrs). Then I will move the pod over to bubbler #1 for veg growth under cfc lights(24hrs) until it reaches 12". I will then move best 3 to 2nd hydro system with 6" pots. Plan on same hydroton and coco coir mix. Here I will veg 2 more weeks under 400w HID(18-6). I will then take clones and start in greenhouse and move to HPS light(12-12) on Flowering. I will then top/fem on week 1 of flowering stage. I plan to change water/nuts every 12 days and here is my 1st question. I have read that it is good to leave roots out of water for 2-4 days to allow more oxygen to them before returning to solution. Opinion?
After 8 weeks of flowering I plan to go to total darkness for last week before harvest.
During the 9 week flowering session I plan to start clones in mini greenhouse and then move to hydro system 1 for veg. I plan on super cropping these to maintain height as they will remain in veg state for approx 8 weeks. Is this a feasible plan? Where is my flaws at? Thanks you guys so much for any advice your all awesome. I will continue to post pics and updates as I get it together.
