Daily Grow Room Checklist: Light [ ] Check all your lights, timers, and power. Make sure everything is working properly and safely. [ ] Make sure your bulbs are burning bright and do not need to be changed out(every 4-6 months is best). Check to see if your bulbs and hoods are clean and clean them accordingly. [ ] Check your light's distance from your plants so they are getting proper amounts of light but not getting burned. [ ] Make sure all electrical cords are all plugged in completely. Water [ ] Check your hydroponic system(if using) to ensure the pumps are working and your plants are being fed. Check timers and powerheads. [ ] Check the H2O levels in the reservoirs. H2O evaporates, not the nutrients. To maintain a consistent mix add only H2O. [ ] Completely change out water and nutrients every 2 weeks! pH levels [ ] Check pH levels in the reservoir/nutrient solution, making sure it is as close to 6.0 as possible. [ ] Monitor the EC(or ppm in North America), aka the strength of your nutrient solution to make sure it is correct. Temperature [ ] Keep daytime temps at 75°F(23.8°C). Nighttime temperature should stay between about 68-72°F(20-22.2°C). Too cold or too hot can severely stunt growth, or even kill your plants! Keep these ranges will ensure your fastest, most abundant growth with the least problems. At night your temperature can ideally drop by 15°F(-15°C), and even up to 10°F(-12.2°C). BUT NO MORE THAN 10°F(-12.2°C), EVER! This will slow your growth greatly. So daytime keep the temperature 70-75°F(21-23.8°C), and at night 60-70°F(15.5-29°C). Air [ ] Airflow. Make sure all fans are working correctly and air is being pulled properly. [ ] CO2/other. Make sure your system is running properly at the proper environmental levels, regulate if needed. [ ] Check any air fresheners/odor elimination systems. Humidity [ ] Too much humidity causes moldy bud rot! Keep it at 40-50% Circulation [ ] Make sure the plants are moving a little bit and getting a nice oscillating breeze. Other [ ] If growing in soil, rotate(turn) your plants each day. This will ensure they get maximum light exposure. Also check for dry pockets and water accordingly. [ ] Check for pests and fungus or any other plant diseases/abnormalities and handle accordingly. [ ]Check the the leaves surface as well! Especially check for spider mites under your leaves. These will make little webs. [ ] Cleanup your grow area! Remember, act as if you were manufacturing microchips in there. [ ] Make sure everything is working. Your Weekly Grow Room Checklist: (Including everything you should be doing daily) [ ] Make a supplies list so you never run out of important supplies. [ ] Fill your reservoirs(filling may need to be done more than once a week). [ ] Air Ventilation/Circulation. [ ] Check soil for dry pockets, water as needed. [ ] Rotate (turn) plants. [ ] Check pH. [ ] Check for fungi, nutrient deficincies, and other plant problems(especially spider mites under leaves). [ ] Check grow area for mold. [ ] Clean! Your Monthly Grow Room Checklist: (Once a month schedule a thorough cleaning. This is the time when you should clean up and sterilize your equipment and grow room.) [ ] Vacuum [ ] Organize and clean your room, pick up any loose tools or anything else [ ] Clean your trays, pots, etc to avoid nutrient buildup [ ] Change reservoir formula [ ] Flush your moms with a gallon of plain water [ ] Dust light covers
