Received feminized Cheese seeds from greenhouse seeds 1 day early.

soaking em for twelve hours in filtered, sterilized water.

when the alarm says "ding"...i will put them in paper towels and zip-loks.

the closet is almost complete. hardware store tomorrow.

more soil.(whatever looks good and cheap)

two more 12" pots

more bulbs

more bulb sockets w/ reflectors.

a nice low key drape for the front.

4 plants in about 100 cubic feet.

i will post pics when i have something picture worthy.

any questions?

im gonna stick with the 23=100 watt. also more tubes for the 4'. some brights. i will be adding unlimited cfls as the grow progresses. Cheese reportedly grows 1 gram for every watt of light it is absorbing.

That's not bad. I got two 23 W Daylights and i like how they can fit in any spot. My 105 W on the other hand is a different story. It's about the size a 2 liter. Anyways shit sounds good dude can't wait to see pic's.

the tubes say they are 400w each. sounds good to me.
i will get a good camera too. seems like a worthy investment.

i also bought some cali outdoor purps for $65 a quarter ounce. good dense nugs. instant, lingering high. got me a little stuck.

i just moved the soaked seeds to a moist paper towel and zip-lock.
a strange residue formed on the bottom of the glass.
the glass was covered with a sterilized cloth towel so nothing could have fallen in to the glass.
was this some sort of seed coating?

Could have been bacterial or fungal growth from your hands...less you sterilized them beforehand.

i spent the night out. all four have sprouted very healthily.
about half an inch over the soil.
i am about to go and get some supplies.

i also put a lil swing fan in there. but the temp is right around 75.

the sprouts wilted in the heat today.
the window in the closet was closed and not reopened.
i've learned my lesson on that.

they are already picking up and looking fine. they were only hot for maybe 2 hours.

the lights stay very cool of course. just the room its self gets quite warm.

i moved the cfl's closer. about 3 inches now.
i have two different spectrums going.

will that effect anything?

Man that sucks. We are all battling the heat during this summer. Man oh man. Im just getting my room dialed in somewhat. Still hot as heck.

You can keep CFLs real close to the tops of the plant so you should be ok. Just be keeping that temp below 90 at least aim for 85. I don't use CFLs but I know my floro bank can get really hot and it can get well over 100 in my room if I am not on top of it...

The heat this summer is brutal. Down here in the IE temps have been 95+ pretty consistently every day. I have an outside indoor grow (plants are outside in a large Rubbermaid storage bin and im sure even with all my attempts to cool it down the heat in there is about the same.

Only negative thing Ive noticed so far is some stunted growth. Knowing my luck tho it will end up male.
