What's up fellas, I've been wanting to do a grow for a long time, but I finally got the motivation to do one. After surfing this forum for about a week or so I decided on doing a PC grow because I'm limited in budget and it seems like a cool way to learn. I'm hoping to get an ounce, it seems like a decent goal. So, getting right into it:
I've got a PC case lightproofed about 18"w x 16"h x 7"d with 2 pc fans, a 3 incher for exhaust and a 1.5" for intake. I'm running 3 14w 2700k CFLs currently but may add 1 or 2 more in the next few days after I see some more growth. I don't know temps or pH or humidity because I don't have the instruments to measure that yet. 24/0 from germed seeds and plan to switch to 12/12 as soon as my girls get some nice growth too them, hopefully within the 2-3 week range. The soil is an organic mix aptly named Organics I picked up from Home Depot a long time ago that tells me its got some 5-10-5 properties. I don't have nutes to add yet but definitely feel like I have some time to pick them up, hopefully this weekend, could definitely use some recommendations.
I've already germed my seeds (bagseed) and planted 3 of them. The first two sprouted on 3/9 and already look pretty sweet. It turns out that I accidentally put two seeds in the same cup, so I'll have too move 1, I'm just waiting for it to look a little better before I do. I have some pictures of the setup and the sprouts.
I am planning on going the LST route after I figure out which of these girls are actually girls. If all 3 turn out to be girls I don't think I'll have enough room. But I've got this feeling that the smallest one right now will be my only female, if I get any. But right now I have one big question, is the red all cool on those stems? I sense that it is just normal for the early stages, but the noob inside of me makes me ask. Hopefully this can be my journal. Also, any suggestions for a container to use other than these cups and when I should move them?
