 my first ever grow 
#811039 - 04/16/16 07:37 PM (8 years, 8 months ago) |

Hi all thanks for having me! I'm trying to set up a 600w closet grow. My closet is 2x4x7. I have mylar emergency blankets to line the closet. I have a 70cfm fan for the ceiling to vent and I have a box fan for circulation. The doors are double sliding and I plan on using only one door so light travels into my 10x9 mushroom grow room to help with pinning. The whole room will be cooled by ac. I'm only trying for 3 plants at a time in 5 gallon buckets of hpoo compost/vermiculite/ perlite. I have good seeds. They are grape kush s1 by moxie(3) cr+ by blimburn(2) cream automatic by blimburn(2) ams buy greenhouse(4) arjan haze #3by greenhouse(2) purple bud by white label(2) and red diesel by Barney's(2). I've already decided I want the cream auto outside. For my 3 plants indoors I wanted to do 2 ams and 1 grape kush s1. I also planned on growing 1 grape kush and ams outside as I side by side. Also I should mention I've never grown before. Also I'm a member of shroomery.org under same name. Thanks a lot for the help!

You're gonna have to be a little more specific cause we can go for hours giving random advise.

I guess I'm just wondering if my materials are good enough for a small grow. I'd like to get a few oz off each plant at least. My fart fan is 70cfm and I'll be using a box fan for extra circulation. I know people recommend inline fans at I higher rating but was hoping that with the box fan and ac if it was necessary? Is 1/3 hpoo compost 1/3 coarse vermicultie 1/3 perlite be a good medium? The grow closet is in a 10x9 room that I currently use for mushroom cultivation and was hoping to use the light cycle to promote pinning. I'll line the closet with mylar emergency blankets and take off one door and mylar emergency blanket the other one so the door blocks only half the opening only and allows light to enter the rest of the room. I'd like to use 5 gallon buckets. Any reason this won't produce desirable results?

Your plan definitely sounds doable. What stage of growth are your shrooms in? I wouldn't keep anything but sealed jars in a grow room or you'll likely risk soil born contaminations getting into your mushroom substrate.

I'm about to start up again. And they will be in there own monotubs on the far wall. I've never had much contamination since I only flush twice and toss outside. Even with open windows and a fan I've not had much contamination or it doesn't show up til well after I get what I think is a good amount. I could put plastic that's clear down half the room tho.

For a first grow you sure have a lot of materials and a great sense on what to do, should be a great start. Goodluck.

Thanks a lot. I'm just reading the site! If I use 1/3 hpoo compost/ 1/3 vermiculite 1/3 perlite how long can I go without feeding? I'd hate to overfeed and kill them. I'm thinking as good as the compost is it'll feed six weeks but I'm not sure. Its not a super soil either just straw and hpoo that's been turned over until its brown and dirt like.

I wish I could give you a solid answer on how long that mix will feed your plants but I grow almost exclusively in soilless mixes so I feed with nutrients real heavy. I specialized in hydroponic growing during school not soil growing. But I would guess your soil mix would last sufficiently through a 4-6 week veg cycle. Maybe not quite 6 weeks of your plants are vigorous. You'll want to be feeding something else for flowering though.

Would a 13-30-15 water soluble bloom fertilizer work?

Yea for sure.
I would start half strength during the last week of veg and work up to full strength for flowering so you don't overdo the phosphorous. Going from nothing but Hpoo to that fertilizer too quick will likely give you over feeding burn.

Better to have to little than to much to see if the plant tolerates it.

Anyone got any experience for AMS from greenhouse and grape kush s1 from moxie seeds indoor and outdoors. I'd like one each outdoor and 2 AMS and 1 grape kush s1 indoor. I'm on the 45th parallel in northeast mi

One of the seed starting timeframe websites says may 15 is 50% likely to frost at night and every day after it drop 10%. I'm worried about frost killing seedlings as I will be starting outdoors from seed so I don't have to transplant. I'm using old tires as raised beds. Each tire has 12 gallons of 50 50 compost vermiculite. And there open bottom on sand. Any thoughts? There's no metal showing on tires. People grow tomatoes in tires safely so I said with.

I'm only 20 min from tawas bay. Lake affect is a factor but not so much. Cold air from Canada swirls around my area slightly so it takes warmer to heat up.

I'm going to wait till may 10th just to be no the safe side. And I'd like to harvest no later than october 1st that's 113 days of grow. I've decided to grow AMS and Grape Kush. I will germinate first indoors in 16ounce solo cups. How long can they safely stay in solo cups without getting root bound? Also at the end of harvest season its pretty cold and rainy humid. I've heard dawn and h2o2 help with mold preemptively if sprayed on 1-2 times a week. Any thoughts greatly appreciated. I haven't gotten around to the indoor stuff yet but I'll keep you up to date on my progress.

I'll be germinating some seeds tomorrow. Weathers been nice and 10th is last frost date. I'll be growing an AMS Grape Kush and 2Cream autos. Still haven't set up my indoor grow yet. Wish me luck. I have 2 holes ready for the AMS and grape kush with 15 gallons of compost verm perlite in each. I haven't done anything for the autos cuz I figured what the hell.

OK so I'm germinating seeds today. I'm going to transplant outdoors when seeds pop. I was going to do this on the first but its been cold. Today it is snowing but the weather after tomorrow raises from mid to high 30s to 45 and up for at least 12 days.

Planted 2 ams from greenhouse outdoors after the one popped in a glass. I figure the second one is going to pop soon. I did nothing special to the soil aside from poking a hole in the ground and pouring a half gallon water on each. One of the grape kush popped late this evening. I'll put grape kush in my prepped tires

Some I'll run 10-30-20 during bud but nothing to others. The ones I'm doing nothing to are in an agriculture runoff ditch on my property.

Been using the Emerald Harvest 2-part base system. It's sweet because you PH the water first and then mix in everything. Been killing it with this for a while now. Got the 1000 watt Gavitas too. Upgraded last year and I've been loving both changes.
