First real indoor grow! 600w HPS Licensed Medical Grow
Hello there,
I'll start by saying that I am a Licensed MMJ card holder and member of a Collective... and now the grow!
I'll be posting images of my first real indoor grow and extractions made if and when successful. Just put a few in flower and have a few more vegging. Any negative comments will be greatly appreciated...btw the three Blue Dream pictured in flower were vegged outside. :)
Equipment:
-4X4 Gorilla Grow Tent
-6" Hyper Fan
-Duct silencer
-6"x16" Phresh Filter
-Box Fan
-Phantom Dimmable Digital Ballast
-600w Medium Adjust-a-Wing
-Readygro Aeration coco and perlite
-1, 2 and tall 5.5 Gallon pots with holes drilled
-2 5 gallon DWC buckets with holes drilled... j/k :D
-EcoAir 4 Air pump
Hydro Nutes: (the Blue Dream is in soil... no nutes will be added)
-GH (pre-Monsanto) FloraBloom, FloraMicro, FloraNova, PH Up and Down
-Superthrive, Silica Blast, 35% H2O2, Epsom Salts, CalMag
I plan to have 2-4 plants in 5.5 gallon tall pots and 2 in 5 gallon DWC buckets probably getting bigger buckets later.
Here's the setup:

Temp says 87.6 but the plants fell cool so IDK. Other pic is of the intake... there is two of these contraptions.

Here's the three Blue Dream. They've been tied down since this pic... will update later. Through these inside for earlier harvest. These plants have been fighting the bugs pretty good despite the bite marks... bugs don't even like Blue Dream. :l

Anyone know what bug this is?...
Some sort of caterpillar. They like to eat pieces of the leaves and some hang off the stem sticking straight out.

Gentleman and gentleman... week 4.
The ladies got a bout of spider mites so I took them outside and sprayed under the leaves with a hose. Three days later I sprayed again. I also squashed them manually and rubbed the leaf undersides where I could. Applied Azamax to the soil and haven't seen anymore caterpillars. Hoping the trichomes will help keep the bugs at bay. I think there are ornamental plants outside that are infested with mites. Going to tackle those plants soon with insecticides.

Day 51 Blue Dream harvest and Round 2...
Harvested the BD early do to the mites...

And here's round 2. The official hydro grow. Plan on putting plants in every few weeks to try to perpetually harvest. Currently have Ghost OG(back left)at two weeks, Dream Queen(front right), Chiesel(back right)at two weeks, and Sour Diesel.

Also replaced the box fan with two clip-on fans. There was too much air circulation with the box fan.

Sprayed and drenched the coco of the new plants with azamax and sprayed the tent with bug spray.
