So as a result of RIU getting hacked, I'm restarting this grow journal. Since I haven't even germinated the seeds yet, there isn't a whole lot of catching up that's necessary.
The basic setup is a plywood grow box in the attic, roughly 4 x 2 x 4 feet, with a usable grow area of about 1.5 x 3 ft. I currently have about 15,000 lumens worth of CFLs, but I might add a few more during flowering. I will be doing my first couple grows in soil, but might be convinced to switch to hydro or aero if I'm not happy with the results. This is strictly for personal consumption, not a commercial operation, so I don't care too much about maximizing my yield. I just want to grow some healthy, happy plants.
As far as the strain, I've ordered a pack of Safari Mix, but it came with a Dinafem Super Silver freebie. If I can get the freebie started and clone it, I'll probably save the safari mix for later (or give it to a friend who is considering a guerrilla grow).
This isn't my first grow, but it's my first one in a long time. I did two small indoor grows back in 2003, and then a couple guerrilla grows in 2004. I'm excited to get back to the hobby.
Right now I'm probably a week or so from germination. I still need to add the exhaust ducting and something reflective to the grow box, and I need to buy an exhaust fan. I'll update this journal when I'm ready to germinate.
P.S. Please feel free to comment on my journal!
