Hi folks, thanks for stopping by. I guess this will be a record of my first grow. I’m not much of a sharer about myself so I debated long and hard about doing this and honestly had decided not to, but after reading several threads with people opening up about their problems and seeing the responses, I decided if I was ever going to share this new hobby it would be here. I’ve been here about 22 days and read everything I could in that time trying to learn. Now, without going into my problems ( which everyone has in some form or another ) I will say this, if you’re one of those who opened up, wish you could or responded to them, I see you. I hear you. I feel you. Now enough of that, let’s try to grow some weed!
My setup:
2x4x5 Green Hut Tent
Spider Farmer SF2000
2 6" clip on fans
1 Box fan
1 oscillating fan coming soon
Older humidifier
DIY Hillbilly A/C
1 Potforpot 5 gal kit
1 old square plastic planter approx 4-5 gal with organic promix from wallyworld
Pair of ph and tds testers
Tap water set out to de-gas ph 7.8 from tap
2 ILGM White Widow Autos ( Born sometime overnight )
Bergmans Nutes
Hey Merlin, thanks for stopping by.
I don’t have many expectations, more hopes I guess. Just wanted to get my feet wet and see if I can grow one. I got 20 seeds and didn’t wanna chance just popping one so we’ll see if I can keep two alive. lol
Besides that I know if I grew one i’d just have to try two next time, so might as well get it over with. Really appreciate the input though
Off to a good start Growmie. Welcome to the Canna-Fam and if you have any questions just ask there’s always a friendly grower to help The spider farmer sf-2000 was the first led that I ran and had good luck with it.
I feel you on starting budget. The wifey and I had daily fights about my budget but after smoking on what come from that light she has never complained since.
Day 2 Update:
Gave the girls their first nap after roughly 24 hours above ground, about 4 1/2 hours. I know there’s varying opinions about it probably but what do you guys think, round the clock light right now or a good nap? Doing the newbie tug of war on watering too… Pods feel slightly damp so I just dripped a couple drops on outside top of pods, spritzed inside of dome and let em go.
Both already have 4 leaves!
Lighting about 27" on 50% as per Spider Farmer recs. Does this sound good to you guys? Especially you @DoneDeal cause I know you’ve used the SF2000.
Looking good growmie. Definitely get rid of the nets like @JaneQP said. Don’t spray the plant just around it with a spray bottle with about 10-15 pumps. I run a 18/6 cycle for seedlings and veg. If they start getting leggy lower the light. I put my light at 12-15 inches away on 50% power also.
