Hi there.Ā
Ā
First time indoor grower here, running a Leca Clay medium rDWC set up, with plants at about 7 days old (post germination).Ā
Ā
My light is an 600W HPS on a 600/400/250 dimmable electronicĀ ballast. I currently have it dimmed to 250. (Iāve heard this isnāt the best?)
Iāve got an extractor fan ventilating a 1.4.m * 1.6m * 1.8m tent, with a 15cm circulation fan inside, as well as a humidifier and the oddĀ damp towel.Ā
Ā
Seeds are 2x Alien Kush Autos, 2x Gorrilla cookies Autos
Ā
Last checked the PH was still around 6-6,5 (using drip tester so hopefully) and EC around 0.49 (if Iām even reading this thing right). Trying to keep the humidity higher for the seedlings, and temps staying around 22-26 CĀ average, with the temps inside the air of the reservoir 20-24 C avg (not sure if this is a concern?) and the water temps around 21-23 C (sometimes peaks to 25 briefly). Everything fluctuates quite a bit however.Ā
Ā
Got most of my equipment for free so hoping this was worth the time, and that I hopefully get something out of it, any advice would it awesome šš¼šš¼
Iāve got a bunch of nutrients stuff as well, will list when the time comes up I guess around week 2ish? (Side note, I am concerned about the long stems.)

Hello growers
I would love to have an opinion on this topic. Let me update you on what I have been working with. I have a one plant indoor grow inside a 80cm x 80cm grow tent. I use a 40l fabric pot with both Orgasoilux and Freedom farms soil (green bag). The bottom half I use Orgasoilux(20l) and the top half I use FreedomĀ farms soil(20l). Throughout veg all I give the plant is Biodyne Environoc 401 (microbes), Molasses and water. This results in an extremely healthy plant.
Once I flip to flower I start using organic bottled nutrients. In the past I have used Biobizz Bio-bloom, and more recently I have used Dirty hands inc - Bio-Phos (Jamie's brand). I give 3ml Bio-Phos once a week early flower and up it to 5ml every week mid to late flower. Plus a molasses feeding every 2 weeks and stopped using Biodyne microbes 1 week into flower.
I was thinking about completely ditching bottled nutrients and going the topdressing route for flower. I was thinking of maybe topdressing a week before the flip with Jamie's elemental blend. I am just worried if it will provide enough for the plants through to harvest. I was also thinking of maybe using my own topdressing blend of Dry kelp, Gypsum, Malted Barley and Worm Castings. Would love an opinion on switching to topdressing for flower and if the elemental blend should be more than enough to take me to harvest. If you think I should just stick to bottled nutrients for flower let me know. I am going to include photo's of my 2 previous grows using the method I have stated above. Just trying to get the best quality flower possible :)
Some thoughts of mine...ā¦
Topdressing vs Liquid Nutrients?
Biobizz Bio-Bloom vs Dirty Hands Inc Bio-Phos?
One topdressing enough 1 week before flip?
Elemental Blend or my own flowering mix?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Grow:
Medium: Top Half Freedom Farms soil (20l) + bottom half Orgasoilux(20l)
Additives and Amendments: Molasses + Biodyne Environoc 401 Microbes + Dirty Hands Inc - Bio-Phos + Mycoroot (seedling)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Seedling)
- Solo Cup + Freedom Farms soil + Mycoroot
-Transplant in week 2 of veg to 40l
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Veg Stage)
- initial inoculantĀ 2ml Environoc Microbes
-1ml per litreĀ Environoc every 2 weeks
-5ml per litre Molasses every 2 weeks
-Stop Environoc 1 week into flower
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Flower Stage)
-3ml Bio-Phos every week (early flower)
-5ml Bio-Phos every week (late flower)
-5ml Molasses every 2 weeks
-Stop Bio-Phos 2 weeks before harvest
-Feed molasses until harvest
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First time growing photoperiods, quite excited.Ā
Genetics
Hiroshima by Renegade Seed Co.Ā Ā 6 Pack
High THC, and according to the product description should deliver "high yields of dense, rock-solid buds."Ā Hoping to achieve that.
Want to make one a mother and start learning to clone. The description says "These highly stable genetics produce two phenotypes at most." Should be easy to choose a winner to reveg.
They advise topping, which I am also looking forward to learning. Want to also try "FIM" a plant or two to experiment.Ā
Grow Setup
Same as before. Here
~
Lets goĀ
9 November
Seeds arrived. Also received a Promotional 2 Pack of G-Fawke.
10 November
Seeds into a glass of spring water. Onto a heating mat and into a dark cupboard to soak for 18 hours.
11 November
Seeds started showing roots. All 6 seeds popped,Ā gently took them and placed them root facing down inĀ Jiffy Preforma Plugs.Ā
Covered the holes slightly and into theĀ ROOTiT Small PropagatorĀ they go. Heating mat underneath, and gently misted with spring water. Also threaded the hygrometer reader through a ventilation hole, to see the environment reading.Ā
I think this reading is fine for germination. Any and all feedback welcome.
Hoping for them all to push out effectively over the coming days. In hindsight I should have maybe done the paper towel method to get the roots longer, before putting them into the plugs. I've also previously had a failed germination where I watered a bit much, so just gently misting this time as to not drown/stunt the seeds.
