Hello there!

Time to introduce my little project to you all! At the start of 2011 I started the planning and eventually the building of my first growcloset. It took a couple of months to complete the entire thing, but at the moment, I'm very pleased with the result!

The Closet:
- 70cm H x 37 cm W x 47 cm D
- 3x120mm PC-fans, wired to a adjustable 12V power supply.
- The inside completely sealed with silicones and airstrips.
- Radiator foil on the walls for insulation and reflection.
- 4x 23W Philips Tornado CFL
- 1x Can 1500 75m³ carbonfilter
- Homemade waterproofwiring and 'skeleton' for the lightbulbs.

Nutrients
-
1x Hy-pro Hy-dro a+b 1ltr
- 1x Hy-pro Rootstimulator 500ml
- 1x
Hy-pro PH- 500ml
-
Hy-pro Spraymix 500ml

- In combination with fresh water from a barrel in my garden.

Soils:

- Soil especially for seeds
- Universal gardening soil

Progress:
-
23/05/2011: germination of seeds;
- 26/05/2011: planting the seeds;
- 29/05/2011: first seed above ground;
- 01/06/2011: second seed above ground;
- 07/06/2011: repotting both seeds to the universal gardening soil

Workflow:

Atm I'm not doing a lot of special things to the plants. I spray them wet with some fresh water, and every 2 days I add some water to the soil. Not a lot, about 10-15cl. At the end of this week I think I'll be adding some nutrients.


Comments, remarks, solutions, tips, points of critics, etc... It's all very welcome! I'm new to all of this, so every bit of feedback/help is more than welcome!

Who'd suspect that there are 2 plants in here? ;) Just need to clean up the desk and 'hide' the hinges.

The cardboard box is filled with foam and has and extendable airtube, connected to the filter. No light escapes + pretty silent.

Looks good, i like your box! Room for some more plants maybe?
The original plan was to grow 3 Lowryders #2, but 1 seed died during potting. Atm I'm gonna wait and see what these 2 plants will do when they're getting bigger, so in the future I might put in some more!
