Welcome
Hello friends, family and any other person who stumbles through here. Now that I have 2 working spaces, I thought it only right to start another perpetual journal. I'll start with some info on the 2 very small spaces I grow in.
Veg Space.
My veg space is a small cupboard. It measures approximately 2x2x2ft and is currently lit with 2 x 2 ft T5 tubes with a power usage of 24w each. (Upgrade coming) Air is exhausted through a 4 inch hole in the door and a pc fan. Temps and rh are usually good in here, tends to run between 72-85f and 40-70%rh
Flower Space
My flower space is a self made wooden box measuring 2x2x2.5ft and is lit by a Mars2 400w (upgrade coming). Air is exhausted through a 4 inch black orchid fan with 4 inch carbon filter. Rh normally sits a little high in here can reach 75% on a humid day. Temps are normally ok but the spike in weather recently have seen them hit 90f. I'm not worried tho.
Soil and nutrients
I'm running 2 types of soil at the moment. I have 4 plants (3 in flower) in my own un-tested soil mix and is fed on just water and some molasses now and then. The mix comprised of 25ltr bagged compost with no added nutrients, 20ltr bag worm castings and a 15ltr bag of perlite. I added ammendments of blood meal, bone meal, crabshell meal, kelp meal, Neem meal, alfalfa meal, bat crap, rock dust and lime, all in various quantities. The mix appears to be performing well with a short veg time, we will see how it goes with the girl who has been in veg for over a month.
All the others are in biobizz lightmix and will be fed the baseline range of biobizz nutrients.
