Hi guys, doing my 1st grow. I had 5 fem onyx seeds, 2 fem, snowryder, 10 x fem lr2 (but maybe mixed with another auto as they came from a mates accidental pollination) and 10 newly delivered Diesel ryder reg beans. (going to do a seed run with these)
Going for perpetual harvest with 2 seeds being germinated per week. Started off with 4 though, 2 onyx + 2 snowryder, 1 snow didnt sprout but the 2 onyx and 1 snow did. so i can chop 1 of those early for early supplies at 8weeks?
so i have 7 in total in growth stages right now. 3 at week 3 (2 onyx + 1 snow), 2 at week (1onyx + 1 LR2) and 2 at week 1( 1 onyx 1 lr2). when all is up and running there should be 2 at each stage of growth up till weeks 8-10 (allegedly) so max 20 plants if i can be harvesting at 8 weeks then max 16 plants.
Its a large closet under the high part of the staircase. I've built an inside door to lightproof and mount the fan. door stays open slightly and at an emergency can be closed over swithing everything off inside. when things start to smell then the ducting can be hooked up so its venting to the loft.
4 foot long x 3 foot wide x 5 foot high.
1x125w 6500 cfl
3x125w 2700 cfl
tons of 23w 2700 for hanging around later.
1x45w LED mixed red n blue.
All lights on chains/clip ons so i can move around.
Hopefully i can work out my heights so that the lights can stay in the same place and just the plants will move along each week to the next light int he sequence, so from 6500k to 6500k+LED to LED+2700 to pure 2700's till the end.
6 inch fan for extraction, 10" square passive intake and a couple of fans to move air about inside. highs of 85 degrees and lows of 70 degrees on a 20/4 light setup.
I can't really get my head around what nutes to use on these and how often. i tried reading and searching for what you guys are using but there never seems enough info online to decide which i should be using for soil and auto's and available in the UK. I have 'plant magic' soil. The soil mix is already lightly fertilised i add extra pearlite.
I have plant magic's nutes, (grow and bloom) only used grow so far just 2 days ago. They are in small pots for up to 2 weeks then transplanted into 6.5litre pots.
Soil grow is N2.5 P0.4 K3
soil bloom is N2.2 P-0.5 K3.2.
My aim was for around 1 oz from 2 plants per week for personal use : - )_
Well that was the stoner plan, then i find out onyx can take up to 12 weeks and grow feckin huge! thats when i got decided to get diesel ryders instead, i will have a max space between top of pot and lights of about 3' 3" / 1 metre and I can't find out how tall the snowryder are going to go indoor under cfl. i doubt my onyx will get near to the size of other peoples under cfl's and in only a 6.5L pot. at least i hope so.
Not going to insert the images as they are over 1mb each so our 56k Afghani cousins can have a read without crashing their pc's
week 3, week 2, week 1.
2 onyx at the bottom of pic, snow at top

The white residue you see on them i think is from my hard water, even though i filter it and leave to age. apart from that i think my wee lassies are all doing ok.
Any tip for a newbie would be appreciated. Thanks IC.
