Hi, every one 

Joining the party a bit late 

 

[mantis]

I have started with a 12 hour soak in Humic acid and Kelp (until the sink to the bottom) 

[mantis]

After the soak I have planted them in a seed starter mix 

[ChefDylan]

welcome to the party

[iGrowDagga]

Welkom! 

 

[CreX]

This is the tools I am going to be using in the Grow-Off:

 

For the seeding and vegetative stage, I use the following supplements:

Fabric Pots filled with a mixture of Coco Peak, Perlite and Vermiculite

Grow Medium is buffered with Calcium and pH of 6.2

Grow Medium had been amended with Fulvic Acid, Humic Acid and Kelp Extract.

 

Green House Feeding Grow will be used during the Veg-stage for the basic NPK and micronutrients.

pH Pen / Tester calibrated before use

PPM Pen / Tester calibrated before use.

Light source LED: Specs:

·         CREE CXB 3590, 3500K x3, 4000K x 3

·         Meanwell HLG – 240 – 1400B Driver x 2

·         Driver is dimmable 23W to 586W

VPD will controlled by the following:

·         Humidifier will be used to control humidity.

·         Fan will be used to create airflow and control leave temperature ·         

Hygrometer will be used to ensure humidity and temperature is correct and VPD can be calculated.

I have seen the Mantis fabric pots before, been around for a while.

 

@mantis you related to the peeps who make the pots or just coincidence?

If I may ask, where did you get all the components for your led set up

[mantis]

Chamberlains sells them about 30 bucks each  , As for the Leds and components got them for them Mouser , rs components , Iced led 

But would honestly say its not worth it to buy them like that any more you would be far better off buying a Quantum board or 2 and some meanwell drivers

I got those pot stands at Agrimark, 20 a pop

Happy Friday every one 

I need some advice , I tested my CO2 in my tent and its was very low 350PPM -400PPM . Got on the net and did some research on way to bump up the co2 concentration  in you garden . So long story short I decided to go with the fermentation method ( yeast and sugar ) to my surprise it would quite well for a day or two bumping the PPM up to 1000 , So this method is not very practical in the long term as it on lasts about 48 hours or so. 

is there better methods of using fermentation or is the only way a co2 cylinder?

NOice bud! I too tried a similar method and would love to see if you could get a reading on the result.

I used to dissolve 1kg of sugar in 6L of half boiling/half standing once settled the mixture sits in a 20Gal container with lid. Drilled a small hole in the lid so that the CO2 can come out, I used to leave it outside the tent and linking a 4mm tube into the grow space, and after about 3 days I would shake the container daily till a week had gone by, and I would change the mixture. 

Once ready, I would drop 2 tablespoons of brewers yeast in the mixture. then close lid. 

the results were really good, I sure it makes quite a difference.
