From burning to learning, I'm starting my first grow. Just finished up the main grow area of my cabinet. 2'x4'x6', 4 qb 120's 3K spectrum, driven by an HLG 320H-C2800A. Here is a link to the build if anyone is interested Grass Burner's Cabinet
I popped 2 (Katsu) feminized Sour Bubba's on May 5th in Jiffy Pucks. Picked them up through JBC (Great and Fast Service). Woke up this morning to 1 sprout already through the soil, and the second pushing up. I could see the stem of the second seedling through the gap it had created in the soil.
So now I'm the proud caretaker of twin girls. Big shoutout to @ilovereggae for taking a lot of time to share his wealth of knowledge and help a new guy get his bearings. Also want to thank @Renfro, @Mohican @BigCityFarmer, @CptTripps, and @Desmondg for all their advice during my cabinet build.
Now for the real work. I'm excited to get things rolling! Started testing my light timer with some tomato and pepper plants I sprouted from seed a couple weeks ago. Got a frost warning this weekend, so I've been trotting them in and out everyday. Much easier to leave them in the cabinet and get a feel before I put the good seedlings in. I've got the driver turned down to 50%. After an hour of lights on and plants in the cabinet, temp is at 79*F, humidity is at 60%. That is with exhaust fan off. The driver @240v feels just slightly above ambient room temp (76*F)
I guess right now I'm going to do a quick sheeting job on the smaller 2x4 cabinet under my electronics compartment and get some hangers built. It's almost 4' tall in there. I've got a T12 fixture I used a year or two ago to sprout seedlings for my vegetable garden. Has 40w 4100k tubes. Seems like it's easy to burn seedlings with quantum boards, I'll start them under this fluorescent light then move them when they're big enough. I would appreciate any suggestions on this matter, especially concerning time under the 4100k before moving to qbs.
