NEW GROW:D
goodmorning everyone, i hope you feel good.......anyway thanx for your interest guys.....unfortunately i am unable to post pics of the grow yet BUT do i have news for you?
today is day six from germination and day two into 24/0......that's right, yes, i have started already the veg stage......i left them for 4 days into the germination dome and WOW, i did not expect them to grow as fast as they did.....
i started the veg stage a bit earlier than anyone would expect as they were already streching, looking for more light......now they are into the larger rockwool cubes on the NFT board under the 400 HPS light.....also, i have added a fan blowing air on them, this will result on developing a stronger root system as the wind produce by the fan shakes them a bit......
total height so far is about 8 cm....i know it may sounds unreal for 6 days from seed but it's the truth......i hope the streching will stop......i believe that i will be able to switch them into 12/12 around the first of september and harvest them around late of october.....
so far i have 23 plants on a tray that can support 24 medium sized plants to full maturity.....i think i will let them grow them in veg stage up until they reach a height of
around 20 inches....then i hope i will have left around 10 females to continue with......
the only one thing that troubles me is the schedule i have to keep with the watering/usage of the pump....should i keep it working constantly or not? should i set it on a timer or not? i know the question sounds stupid as the system i am using is called NFT (nutrient film technique) but i feel i need to ask this......right now i have set things up in a 15min watering every hour.....
so far so good, the plants seem very happy under the 400 hps light and i think that in a week time they will look much much MUCH bigger......
my grow room is again home made......it measures 6x5ft (i am using half of it right now) with a max headspace of 6ft....the walls are painted flat white and i'll be using and sum aluminium foil as well.....
also, as the grow room is within a room that i do not use i have decided to make a few conversions as i did.....i have sealed the window with thick cardboard paper, the one used for making boxes, allowing some space so as to fit an old computer unit with two power fans (used for cooling the CPU, operating at low speed 24/7)....hehehehe i have build in other words a ventilation system that is in constant operation and brings fresh air from the outside.......
finally the smell will be handled by my super expensive ozone generator which have both antistatic and carbon filters...although i haven't decided where to fit that yet, i know it will not have a problem handling the smell......
oh boy, i am anxious to see them growing.....grow,grow,grow you little mf (motherfockers) i wanna smoke you.....hahahahahahahaha
take care people......i will post sum pics as soon as i am able.....
NGOS
PS. i have one more 400watts HPS unit waiting to be added on the flowering stage...hehehehehehehe
