So I posted on my journal (which apparently not many people do, they just start a thread in the grow journal deal) and now I am consolidating my journal to a single thread (much easier to deal with) Sorry for any duplication.
Initially 5 clones, then 4 plants (chose to throw out smallest one)
They are going into DWC
GH 3 part
GH floralicious Gro
GH floralicious Bloom
GH Diamond Nectar
GH FLorakleen
GH Azamax (preventative)
I am a legal Prop 215 who isn't going to even push the 6 plant limit. I may ask for a lot of help, but if this works I may have found a new hobby if I don't get too stressed.
The box is from Ikea. its a dombas
http://onlinecatalog.ikea-usa.com/2011/ikea_catalog/US/
pg 179 bedroom, towards bottom right. 2 different compartments.
Both 19" deep, both like 65" tall or something. Btw this thing is perfectly in my closet with room to spare and it only cost 99$. I have a shelf on the smaller right side towards the top for clones. That is all that is being used right now. The total area is 19" X 22". After this 5 clones I have (if they all make it) will veg for a week or two split up in the bigger two compartments. I'm going to put 2 in 5 Gal buckets (net pot lids with hydroton) DWC to the left larger compartment with the 400W HPS. The other 3 will be in 2 gallon buckets with 4" netpot lids in them. the 2 gallon ones will be smaller and Lollipopped later on. There will be 230 watts CFL for the 3 smaller plants.
I am using General Hydroponics professional recirculating feeding schedule.
Flora series Gro/Bloom/Hardwater Micro (my tap is 200) Floralicious Gro and Bloom. Diamond Nectar, and I have florakleen. I have ph up and down, ph test paper (settled for it this time, my lab uses the same paper, know its good.) I'll get a pH meter maybe later this month. I also have a TDS meter. it was just calibrated and is working well. The box has a humidifier active intake (humidifier blowing into right smaller area along with a passive intake. it then goes up to where the clones are (only part of box being used currently) then to flower room then through carbon filter/sealed light hood and exaused into attic near vent (with bugtrap on that side).
I have azamax I am going to put in the DWC within the first week as another preventative measure. I'm running GH Expert Recirculating schedule. The DWC will have a total of about 13-14 gallons and I have an 18 watt pump with 4 outs attached to 6" air stones.
I hope I have caught myself up. I may put my room design in another thread....
The Strain is Blueberry X OG Kush.
Day 1 = 9/26/2010 (day I picked up clone from collective, they were probably 7-14 days old)
I Brought the 5 clones home (noticed they already had hairs showing) the roots look beautiful.
They were probably 3-4 inches with several nodes. The temps were initially up to about 82 and the humidity was a problem, I kept them in a Dome until I could put a humidifier in.
I initially fed them with Ph 6 h2o with a gentle mix of nutrients (it was initially too much but backed it off a bit.) I had been spraying them when I could to keep humidity up.
The humidity is in the upper 30's now, so that is good.
Later they went into the buckets (after 1 week of being in their rapid rooters and container in the humidity dome. They were initially under 69 watts of 6500k CFL. The 3 smallest were moved up to being under 8 23 Watt CFL(some 6500k some 2700k) in 2 gallon buckets (5" net pots) and the 2 bigger plants went under the 400Watt HPS in the other side of the wardrobe.
10/3/2010 is when the second batch of photos were taken.
after 1 week of being under the lights (at their first res change after being put into the buckets, I removed the smallest crappy clone that I didn't like initially. It freed some room up in the box and I like having 4 nice developing plants.
They were put in 350 or so PPM.
The humidifier is in the cabinet now. Keeping high temp to about 80-83 and the low to about 70. I am happy with this for now, but when I add a few more CFL's or have clones and a grow going at once I may want some more fans.
