Hi everyone,
we are Peach and Toad, a couple from Europe and started our first grow three weeks ago. Somehow we found this forum and enjoyed reading it. So we thought why not give something back, start a grow journal and help our plants while doing so.
Somewhere (probably here) we read, many growers find it really important to keep record of everything they do, so it's easier to analyse and remember what happened. It made sense to us and so we started writing a little notebook and keeping track of as much as possible and started making photos along the way.
After we decided to start growing a few months back a friend offerd us to use his old equipment. He stopped growing a couple of years ago and had most of his stuff still in his basement. Lucky we, he also had some seeds left: two "white ice", two fem "super skunk" and a bag (~50) of some plants he and his friends got from Swiss and growed outdoors.
Some more details about our setup:
- we use a 3'3"x3'3"x6'6"/1x1x2m tent
- currently we have a 125Watt CFL around 10"/25cm hanging over our plants running at 19/5. We started with 20/4 and planning to reduce every (other) week by 1/2h.
- a 600Watt HPS with ballast waiting to be used
- 340m^3/h carbon scrubber also waiting to be used
- a little fan running
- sometimes I refer to the little plants as smallies
Before starting the journal, here some pictures taken a few moments ago.
looks like momy and daddy having a trip with the kids..
