Well as alot of you all may know from my previous threads, i have tried several times now tostart a garden. In my previous 3 attempts, the babies never made it out of week 1. Due to several things. Previous grows, ive tried incandescent lights and ton of other non-recomended methods. Now im finally trying to do it some-what rite.
SETUP--------
CLOSET- 2 1/2ft X 2 1/2ft X 10
LIGHTING- 7 cfl's @ 27w(warm) (1850 lumens pr bulb) 1850x7= 12,950 for appox 4,000 lumens pr sq ft for vegging.... for flowering i will be using the same bulbs but will be adding atleast 6 more bulbs and possible side lighting if i can fit that into the budget.
VENTALATION- 2 computer fans circulating air in the closet. Closet is directly nest to a windo, the windo is open 24/7 to allow fresh air in the room and the closet door is normally cracked open to allow the air to vent better.
PLANTS- 8 random bagseeds of all various strains collected over the yrs
MEDIUM- Expert Gardner, Perfect Mix soil 10-8-6 complex
NUTES- basic miricle grow ( yes i no, not highly recomended at all but due to the high nitrogen content, it will be suitable for vegging
So here's the run down on my grow so far. I germinated the seeds withthe "paper towel" method for 2 days,, planted then OCT 10, sprouted on OCT 11.
I try to keep the same watering schedule, every other day around 2-3 pm. and a very light misting from a spray bottle 1-2 times daily. Yesterday the recieved there first official feeding ( and damn did i notice the diff in a 18 hr period, they really came to life). On day 8 i noticed what seemed to be a heat or oxygen depletion problem ( slighly curled crispy feeling leaves, NOT yellow or burned). To remedy that i added 2 ounces of 3% peroxide to 1 gal of water, i watered them properly and raised the cfl setup by 3 inches. Today is day 14. They seem to be doing great in my opinion. For the ramainder of the vegging phase im going to continue to water every other day with a feeding twice weekly. Also im trying to find some "superthrive" in my area to help the growth rate. Please be sure to check the gallery for all the pics. If there not posted soon just chck back, they will be there, im just new to this and need time to figure out how to setup a gallery. For all those taking the time to read this. PLEASE respond with some sort of info, takes just a sec to help out a fellow growing Thanx alot ev1 and ill be updating daily, Stay tuned!!!!!
