Budmaster66 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Hi again guys I have finally got on with a grow diary after 2 failed attempts so here goes wish me luck my seeds are blue widow (freebies) i soaked them in water over night last Friday 12th all 3 opened up over night then I placed them in wet paper towel in a small plastic tub with lid on and placed them on my TVs sound bar left them 48 hours then opened to tub to find all 3 had sprouted. So they were planted up into 0.7 litre pots with coco and placed under a t5 lights in a 3x2x3 proptent photos from today 5 days after been potted I'm currently building my grow room witch is 10x6 in my shed (build diary in grow room photos section) I already have purchased my equipment witch is as follows 4 X 600w Dimmable ballasts and shades 10" phresh hyper fan stealth (exhaust) 10" 250x660 60mm bed carboair Carbon filter 6" phresh hyper fan stealth (inlet) 10" & 6" phonic trap acoustic ducting gas enviro controller 3 Oscillating fans 4 mh power plant 600w bulbs (veg) 4 hps power plant 600w bulbs (flower) full coco canna coco feeds witch I will follow the feed chart to the letter my scrog screen will be 10ft X 3ft wide I will only have 3 plants under it so roughly 3x3 per plant witch I will veg for 6/7 weeks I'm guessing. im new to scrog so only going on what I've read and watched videos so any help tips and advice would be fantastic im thinking 30 litre pots will theses be big enough or too big ? I will update this diary at least once a week but will try and do more Any help advice, tips, criticisms, opinions good or bad please comment as I say I haven't done scrog before I'm hoping for a starting yield of around 25oz from my first attempt fingers crossed thanks 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budmaster66 Posted July 20, 2019 Author Share Posted July 20, 2019 Just a quick update 2 of the 3 seedlings aren't growing or doing anything really I will give them another 2/3 days see what happens but think I will order some more seeds today just incase I need to start again I'm looking for a high yielding strain that's suited to scrog. I was advised to go with critical jack and critical cheese in a previous post also thinking about critical +2.0 and moby dick ???? any other recommendation and any other info will be much appreciated thanks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm buying my veg cab in the week . Hi again my tent is 3ft wide 3 ft high 2ft deep my light is a 2 ft 4 tube t5 unsure of the make it had it that long. And no I don't need to use any rads or heaters not at this time of year anyway if it gets that cold in colder months I just bring it into the house and put it in a spare room with a blanket thrown over it. It fits in our under stairs cupboard just nice I also have my lights come on at 6pm until 12pm so the lights are off between dinner time and tea time warmest part of the day my tent is a green box and was only about £30 ish 3/4 years ago and it's still like new zips, pull cords working like the day I got it, just to give you an idea of how big it is I have had 30 cuttings in it in 0.7 litre square pots and there was still room for a small oscillating fan any more questions please ask I will look and find the name of the t5 and get back to you asap Edited July 28, 2019 by Budmaster66 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leafneck Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Perfect bro , I'm keeping mine in the garage so going to throw a 2ft tube heater in there to keep the chill off, maybe an additional tube heater when it gets abit colder.. hardly use electric. I'll buy a 4 2ft t5 then , looks great ! How often you change the bulbs ? Great little chat we have had today bro Haha, all the best 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did also buy a heat mat with a digital thermostat but hardly ever used it the light seems to give off a fair amount of heat in the small area. nice speaking to you good luck with the end of your grow speak soon. peace out 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranec Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Hey bud, looking good so far One thing I wish I'd thought a little more about before starting my scrog was plant positioning and the fact you can't move them once they're set in the net - I think if I'd positioned the plant differently I'd have got a better (and easier to manage) coverage, plus I'm in nft so tipping the tray to empty it whilst the canopy above is fixed was a little hair-raising to begin with 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet bet it's abit awkward when it comes to res changes Thanks again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
