hey guys, been really into this stuff for a while now but i just started growing a little over 2 weeks ago. i've been taking pictures as progression goes on but havent made a journal until now.
i ordered my seeds from www.marijuana-seeds.nl and they got to my house within the week! super fast shipping, i'd definitely buy from them again. anyway, i got 10 Northern Lights seeds with 5 free Pure Afghan seeds. unfortunately it wasnt an "all feminized seed batch" but thats alright.
my initial plan was since im growing inside my closet, that i'll just grow the Afghan for now running 12/12 to keep the plants small because im only looking for personal yield. but 2 days after i planted the Afghan, i decided screw it and planted the Northern as well. i guess i'll just wing it if the plants get out of hand but my aim is still to have them grow small, and i've done plenty of research on how to make them grow smaller than they normally would so i guess we'll see.
when i first bought everything i did research but not as much as i should have, especially with lighting. because i ended up buying 2 14w cfl daylight bulbs in clamp lamps lol. those held me over for like a week and a half. then i had to upgraded. i ended up buying a 300w soft white bulb and 2 100w daylight bulbs. i made a custom canopy for the 300w using a 5 gallon paint bucket i cut in half and lined with aluminum foil. works great so far. then i just put the 2 100w bulbs on the clamp lamps and put those on the side adjacent to each other. you'll see in the pics..
i planted the Afghan on October 12th, and the Northern on October 14th. all the seeds except 1 Afghan and 2 Northern sprouted within a couple days later, but i'll let the pictures do most of the talking. and here they are, enjoy!

CURRENT - almost finished music session - 10/29:
thats it so far! any feedback or questions would be quite appreciated. something that truly amazes me is how the music perks the plants up after about an hour or so.
thanks guys!

but i got that and built the bad boy covering the inside with tin foil. WELL i didnt think about ventilation as much and the plants started getting hot as i also added 2 more 100w cfls to the light setup. so i took down the tin foil (thanks evilbeaver) and lined it with white paper, as well as running a ventilation system using two 120mm computer fans that i wired to a phone charger. i then LST'd a couple of the lengthy plants. but here are some photos to summarize my rant
