Mike, thank you for the kind words!! You’re going to be surprised at how simple I keep this. Here we go:
Germination:
(Made a small germination booth that has a heated bottom (heating pad) and 45W grow light)
Start all seeds using paper towel method.
After tap root is over an inch long, it goes into a CLEAR plastic cup for pre-veg.
When roots are clearly visible through the plastic, transplant into final pot.
Veg:
2x1000W full spectrum LED lights (18/6 timing)
No exhaust - just circulation fan
Water daily using RO water
Nutrients every other day (FloraNova Grow)
Flower:
32"x32" tent with 2000W full spectrum LED light (12/12 timing)
24"x48" tent with 2x2000W full spectrum LED lights (12/12 timing)
Exhaust with carbon filter outside the tents (have speed controls to limit airflow)
Small circulation fan
Daily to twice daily watering
Every other day to daily nutrients (FloraNova Bloom)
General Info:
Flower lighting using Samsung COB LEDs
Lighting is on timers
All watering is done using RO water and auto-watering systems
Nutrients are mixed in gallon jugs and manually administered (random amounts using watering can)
Soil is regular miracle grow potting soil - no amendments added
Containers are 1/2/3 gallon fabric pots
Empty coffee cans with tap water to add humidity as needed (kept at 35-55%)
Temps are uncontrolled - range is 60-85 degrees F (low end lights off, high end lights on)
No testing is done for any type of soil readings (pH, etc)
Bottom line - keep it simple - it’s a weed!
The one thing I do prior to harvest is use a 60x scope to check the trichs.
Hope this helps anyone that’s interested!
