Nineweeksharvest crosses, NFT GT424, 1000w LED

[svleeh]

Hey! My first post here so far... I thinked about making own grow diary so here it is. I've been out of game for couple of years and now I had an opportunity to put little effort to grow equipments and I think that I've made a pretty good setup. This is also my first hydro run so lets hope the best and only because of that my target is to get things done! Target is also to find two moms so I can keep going on and have happy yields also in the future... Setting up 9-12 plants.

Strains:
Oreoz x Bubba Kush, Nineweeksharvest
Purple Punch x OG Kush, Nineweeksharvest
AJ's Sour Diesel x Key Lime Pie, Nineweeksharvest

Strains came from forum and those genetics were pretty impressive I think. Also pretty rare here in northern latitudes where I grow...

Tent:
Lighthouse MAX 150*150*200cm, very sturdy and I had great (rough) time putting cloth on... It has peeping holes in both side like it should be so I can maintenance the ladies with little effort.
Light:
Lux Helios 1000w PRO LED, foldable, I think that it is enough for my room to grow some frosty ladies. + upgrading Mars Hydro UV, IR , deep red supplemental lights to this frame at later grow stage.
Climate gear:
Spider Farmer 6'' 402CFM duct fan with controller and 588CFM BullFilter, some 125mm silenced fan blowing air in, 3x Ram Clip fans circulating the air(gonna upgrade to 2x AC Infinity oscilating fans in future), Winflex Mist Pro 8l humidifier...
Grow method:
3x Nutriculture GT424 NFT tables, those fit just perfect to this room, leaves little maintenance space beetween walls. I modded the system for two pumps. Little bit worrying about PH & EC stuff because my first hydro run.
Nutes:
REMO Supercharged set of nutes, it contains micro, grow, bloom, velokelp, magnifical and astroflower. Also using ATAMI Bloombastic for late flower, I heard that thats the shit so I grabbed it no matter the cost...
Other stuff:
I have 3x 32liter rez for nutes, starting off with Jiffys and rockwool

Put all exept Runtz S1 to wet towels and hoping good.
I think Nineweeksharvest have good genetics and their website is always sold out...

Hello and welcome to IC
You put up a big setup there.
Getting back on the saddle and then directly trying a new method of growing for you is something. I'm sure you'll manage it despite the learning curve.


Onnea!

Thank you for like & good fighting spirit

I thought for long time that am I posting this because of the state of IC forum. I've got an idea that the forum is... well... dead nowadays. So I am very VERY happy to see you posting to my thread!!!))

And little upgrade on my run aswell:
Germination 04.1.2024
I've had some troubles getting my seeds popped... Well dunno what im doing wrong, maybe the Jiffys have been too damp or so. I've pop'd like about 35 seeds so far and this is what i got by now + Badazz twins out of picture.

I decided to maybe go on with these 9 plants and leave Badazzez out of the project. All because Badazz is sativa leaning and a good strecher so maybe its little bit easier for me to leave it outside of the run. These indica dominant crosses maybe gon be bushier than those Badazzez so ima go by the bushy way by now.... Nine or twelve plants I dont know it yet but anyways, fun it's gonna be and thats the reason why I am doing this.

I also nickname'd the crosses:
OG Punch (Purple Punch x OG Kush)
Sour Lime Pie (AJ's Sour Diesel x Key Lime Pie)
Bubba Cookies (Oreoz x Bubba Kush)

I am still happy with the progress tho and keep smiling because im counting days for the NFT transplant. Just calibrated PH & EC meter yesterday and by that found the reason why PH values were booming at my second water source...

Update time

Wait...

where's the dank headbud and the resin?
Just kidding, every stage is important!

Why did you opt for jiffy and rockwool?

If you try to germinate some more seeds in rockwool, they will be weeks behind.
Personally, I'd go with your idea too. Putting in what you got, this way you can test out the system and get comfortable with it.

Maybe germinating some more seeds just to make mothers so that clones are ready for the next run? If they're not worth it, you can still make new moms.
Just throwing in ideas.

Some seeds lost during germination isn't the nicest thing to happen but this is a good opportunity to rethink the germination method and process. Also been there this year.. substrate was too wet, humidity way too high and let's not talk about ph..

A joy to read your enthusiasm for the grow, fun times ahead.

Regarding IC, i think there are a lot of lurkers around, was one of them for many many years.
