This is my first real grow. I decided to journal it to get any tips you guys can give me. I've got two wooden grow boxes in a greenhouse I built in my backyard.
Main grow(soil):
I built a wooden grow box thats about 2 1/2' wide x 2' deep x 4 1/2' tall and hung a 150 watt sun system hps fixture over 2 plants in 12" pots. You'll notice a third plant in a smaller pot and the two cups, those are extra in case I have a male in one of the big pots, I didn't spring for the fem seeds...so. Once they get 6 or 7 weeks old and start showing pistils, ill break it down to just 2 plants.
I'm also using a fence metal-wire u-scrog screen positioned about 7-8" above the pots.
To deal with the watering issue that comes with scrog, I set up a watering system with air valves and vinyl tubing. It essentially works like a beer bong, with a hose running to each pot.
Side Grow(soil):
This second box is actually for clones in the near future, but while I've got the space...
Grow setup is a wooden box measuring 14" x 12" x 30", for one blackjack plant in a small pot.
I've built a 4 bulb cfl fixture using those socket splitters. I'm currently running 4 23 watt bulbs (2 6400k & 2 2700 k) for a total of 92 watts.
In both grows, I'm using Fox farms ocean forest soil. For nutes I'm using Maxigrow every other watering at 1/4 tsp per gallon, moving up to 1/2 tsp in a few days, then 1. For flowering, I plan to use tigerbloom along with beastie blooms. Any suggestions
