Hey guys. This is my first time posting a grow. Oh the excitement. My name's OHenry. I'm new to IC and cant wait to get rolling with this grow.
As far as the particulars...they are as followed:
My grow space will be a C13 cabinent. This was picked up @ Home Depot for about 200 bucks. Its quick to put together...but you get what you pay for. It could use some reinforcement and I used some extra L brakcets to stabilize the shelve and bottom supports. It'll give you two spaces to utilize. I'll be using the lower 50" for my initial veg and flower until I can produce some clones to go upstairs in the remaining 24" or so.
I'll be running a 400wt. Sunleaves Pulsar Two-Way ballast. This will allow me to use the 400mh in the tail end of veg and easily switch over to my 400hps. I use a 400 Hortilux MH and a 400 Gavita Lamp. The gavita is nice because I can elimintate any relector and maximize the closet height. I'm using a simple universal cordset and will be mounting it to the bottom of the closet shelve.
My growing medium will be hydroton. And my feeding will consist of Pure Blend Grow- Botainicare Cal-Mag , Liquid Karma , Soluable Seeweed Exctract.
I had to have a couple cool toys to play with as well so I picked up the nutradip Tri-Meter. This things great. It'll read out all three important readings digitally. We'll see how much this makes a difference as I go on.
And last but not least, I made sure to get good genetics. I ordered BOG's Lifesaver and Sag's Matanuska Mist. I'm blessed to be able to view all of the many Lifesaver grows on the forums and hope that'll I'll make Bog proud. I've got the beans in a warm place ready to pop so it'll be a few days before I get some pics.
Hope to get some people to follow my first grow online! Have a great New Years. OH
P.S ~ Make sure to read my article "Hot New Threads" in The Flower Pix Newsletter. This is a great publication of whats going on online @ IC. Crazy Composer is completely blowing this thing up. You'd be missing out if you dont check it out. Bye!
