My First Grow
    #18963781 - 10/11/13 12:33 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Hey everyone!

First grow, first post, but not my first time here! I have been researching and planning for months, and have been cramming my head with so many different takes on the best methods for a successful grow. So much so that now I can't decide on the best FC setup... I am toying with the idea of doing a monotub instead of keeping the cakes in tact, only because I inoculated six half-pint jars, but only three are showing signs of life - thriving, but still. (Though I'm not even sure if using the monotub method gives a higher yield?)

I used a brown rice and vermiculite mix, and inoculated with B+. I purchased a rather large plastic tub, thinking I would be using six entire cakes, but now that I only have three, I'm concerned about the negative space having impact on the humidity levels.

My next concern is how much am I going to need to mutilate said tub... I've seen the classic shotgun method with tons of 1/4in holes and a lot of drill action (I don't even know where my drill battery is), and I've seen many more crude versions with just big chunks cut out (which is probably more my style :tongue2:).

Next up... to use perlite or geolite? Perlite IS the cheaper way to go, but it also kind of ensures that I will have to do a lot of babying to keep the co2 down and humidity up... which is what I'm trying to avoid. I'm fine with checking on them once a day, even better if I don't have to check on them at all. I've seen a few setups that have done away with modifying the tub all together and just crack the lid, some use hairdryers (up to 3x a day!), some use computer fans (which totally tickles my nerd-button). But with all that said, I still need to decide on cakes or mono, right? I don't even know if I'm saying this right.

I just can't decide on the right components, and my cakes are nearly ready! My goal is to be as minimally invasive as possible, as easy on the wallet as possible, with a relatively worry-free chamber that can produce a decent yield. So...

  • Whole Cakes vs Mono?
  • Shotgun FC vs Less Hole-Ridden FC vs No-Holes FC?
  • Perlite vs Geolite vs Something I don't know about?




Thanks!

Shotgun with lots of holes, and perlite.

Big tub is a good thing.

Mist and fan 4x daily, more if you want to.

This will get you the best results on your first grow with the limited amount of cakes you've got.

Take prints! The sky's the limit when you've got lots of your own prints to play with.

Good luck!
