All,

Been a lurker for awhile and have gained lots of great info from the people here. Thank you all.

Wife gave me the go ahead to grow a few months ago, but they only way we could really do it was outside in a shed, so that was huge undertaking.

My good friend use to grow alot and gave me alot of his old gear, so I am setup way beyond my experience, but it saved me a ton of money.


Setup:
  • Built a 10x10 Shed (Home Depot)
  • Built a 5x5 Grow closet in the shed
  • 400W light (MH and HPS depending on cycle)
  • Moving light bar for the light to move and cover more area.
  • Ebb and Flow with bucket set-up (6) Buckets
  • 30 Gallon Reserve
  • 4inch In-line CanFan with a DIY Carbon scrubber
  • (4) CPU fans to help bring air in
  • White paint on the walls
  • Pura Vida Grow and Bloom Organic
  • Water from tap went through Mr. Clean filter. Start EC was .2


Light Cycle 18/6 for Veg and will be 12/12 for Flower
Strain - Betsy (that's our strain we have had around here for years) and some Blue Dream Haze.

Day 1
Temps are staying between 70 (early morning) to 88 (Peak heat of day).
PH is a steady 5.9 after 24 hours
EC is 1.8 (900PPM) after 24 hours
Humidity was around 46% a little low so I added a bowl of water and now its 50%

The clones sat for a few days in a cooler with out much TLC. I was able to re-soak the cubes once.


Issues and Questions:
  1. I did notice some discolouration on some of the leaves like Potassium decency, was hoping that being in the Ebb and Flow it would elevate this.
  2. Any good suggestions on plugging light leaks on where cords pass through a hole in wall?
  3. Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated and welcome.


Will add more pics tomorrow of room. Battery died on camera

What do you experts think. See pics attached.
