Back with a new grow room

[PharmerBob]

20 amp can handle 2400 max , we usually try to keep it at80% usage max to be able to account for fluctuations in the line.

Anything below2k you’ll be fine

Thanks!
Feel free to pass along any other critique items.
Do you still have pet squirrels ?

[PharmerBob]

So many, we ended up rescuing raccoons as well and a few hares. There’s 3-4 squirrels outside waiting on feeding time almost everyday which are people friendly(rescue fail) the raccoons and hares just take off as soon as we release them though.

24 days from seed. I had 4 but one died and one got off to a slow start but is bouncing back.

[GoneFission]

Is it possible to germinate a seed too long?

Question for the group:When do you consider a seed germinated?

I germinate in a paper towel dampened with RO water. I think I let the sprouts get too long and that’s why one of my girls died.

33 days from seed. Man, I love my new light. I had the nutes a little strong but the girls are growing accustomed to it. Time for a res change soon anyway.

I’m able to keep the temperature 73 to 75 and the humidity around 70% which puts in a good area of the VPD chart.

I’ll be able to lower humidity and maintain temperatures but running my intake fan.

10 days later. In gonna veg another week in hopes the runt will reach the net.

Week 4 of veg. I’ll be flipping these girls tomorrow.

Res changeout to flower nutes. Trimmed up the dying leaves under the screen. Set the light to a 12/12 schedule (on at 2100 and off at 0900).

FYI:

I use the full line of Advanced Nutrients plus their Cal/Mag. I mix the nutes at 50% of the chart for the first week or two, depending on how the seedings are reacting. After that I go to 100%.

I know people will say 100% isn’t necessary and I’m probably wasting some nutes. However, I calculated my grow cost and as long as I get 3 ounces (not a problem) the nutes and consumables (including seeds and electricity) pay for themselves (based on local dispensary prices for premium weed).

I use RO water.

I mix up a batch of 50% nutes to makeup to the res.

I’ve been doing this for three grows (RDWC). Since I started this schedule I haven’t even checked my pH. I monitor EC and take action based on the EC and water level trends.

The AN base nutrients are buffered (pH Perfect they call it). I was doing more damage than good trying to chase pH. I finally called AN and had a great discussion with the rep. He told me I don’t have to worry about pH. I was sceptical but it works.

6 days after flip. I did some light trimming of old, getting crispy fan leaves.
