WhiteWidow GHS 1000w Canna Coco Scrog

This is the beginning of a new grow for me ..been about a year since I've been on here it goes. Starting my germination in coco pellets I added water to expand pellets at 18°C 5.8 PH 0.4 EC I added 0.2 ML of rhizotonic to the water

Gunna be running my usual setup 4x4x7 tent. 1000w hortilux blue bulb running on a 1000w electronic Ballast. It is switched by a mechanical timer which is connected to it's own dedicated 15amp gfci circuit.

Because I do scrog I will have it in its final pot by day 21 of veg 18/6 but until then it will be hand watered using canna coco nutrients. After the transplant it will be in a 30 gallon container of pure coco. Autowatered and The resivoir is auto - PH controlled . DTW system. It has a submersible pump hooked up to several drip emitters. The resivoir is outside of the tent. It also has 2 powerful circulation pumps to keep the solution well mixed and to make sure the ph probe is getting accurate readings throughout the resivoir. This insures the controller is accurately dosing and monitoring the entire solution as opposed to getting variated ph spots in the solution. Resivoir is air tight, light tight and temperature regulated. The 1000w light is air cooled and I also have a mountain air filter hooked up in my setup I'm running a 6 inch centrifugal fan on a speed limiter which is also inhoused in a soundproof box. Entire air volume of room is exchanged once every five minutes exactly. Air is exhausted through a lengthy 25' of relatively straight ductwork to a window where a booster fan is added to compensate for the lengthy duct run. The intake is a passive air intake. With the winter months here the ambient room temperature in the room my tent receives its air intake from is pretty well in check for my specific needs. But in the summer I do run a portable ac in the ambient room which also needs it's own separate 25' lengthy duct work . This was a huge, huge setback at one point for me as the exhaust fans on these portable ac units are not meant for 25' of ductwork. I also have a centrifugal fan at the end of the ac duct to insure proper exhaust and keep it running efficiently. The next issue with this was the water it collects. I rigged up a condensate pump to DTW the collected water it is trapped into my main DTW hose and its setup so the quickest route is right to the drain and not backfiring into my setup. Lastly my setup can be left unattended for a maximum of 7 days. I set this up in this way because of my 60 hour work weeks family life and the need for a vacation sometimes.

I've ran this setup many times with huge success but this will be the first time I go seriously in depth about my setup and grow.

I've ran this exact strain and setup before and got amazing results. I also wrote a projected calendar schedule for that grow which I edited as I went and made a final good copy at the end to use in future. Stay tuned for the post tommorow with the good copy of my already successful nutrient regime for this strain.

P.S the pic with the flower is from the last time I grew this strain in this setup
