Here's my first grow:
https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?p=1381864#post1381864
Was just a greenhouse job with some CFLs and some bagseed a couple years ago.
Now I've built a proper setup, with a 1000W HPS with an air cooled hood in a closet for bloom, and a 250W MH with an air cooled hood in a small cabinet area for veg. I made it close up all stealth with weather stripping, magets, and velcro. A wall and a shelf cover everything up nicely. Draws air through an antri-mircrobal/anti-fungal filter, and out through a carbon filter for the smell.
So, this is my first time doing it right, and I've got the genetics I've always wanted. Serious Seeds, the real stuff, AK-47, which I tried once, and was amazing. Also, Bubblegum, which I've always wanted to try, but have never had the chance.
I'm on day 15 now since they sprouted from seed, growing in sunshine mix #4 using reverse osmosis water that starts out around 5.5 ph from the store, I then up it to 6.5
No nutes yet, but I have a Technaflora starter kit http://www.technaflora.com/ with the recipe for success on the way, I've heard good things about their products, and when I called them to ask about retailers, they were extremely helpful.
I started the seeds in peat pellets, no pre-germ, as I heard this was best, though I'm sure everyone has their preference. I think I may have put the peat pellets into these 6" pots too soon though, I probably should have used something smaller to build a better root ball, so I don't have any areas for salt to build up when I start feeding, but I didn't know that at the time, learning every day here...
I'll ask about what I should do on the technaflora forums, maybe just stick to foliar feeding until the roots build up some more or something, and maybe some very light root feeding.
I welcome any advice! Planning to use the AK47 as a mom, she came from a fem seed. She's the big one in the middle with the thermometer in the pot. The other 4 are bubblegum, planning to keep the best looking girl as a mom, and throw any other girls into the bud room.
Since I know the AK is a girl, when's the earliest I should be taking a cutting from her? I suppose I'll just wait until the Bubblegums show sex.
