How's it going RIU?
This is my first grow and I am really looking for advice, comments, and to help other beginners like myself. Hope I can give back to the RIU community, here goes!
ALL FEM AUTOS:
3 x Blue Himalaya Diesel
2 x Mi5
1 x Northern Lights Blue
1 x White Cheese
1 x Critical +
1 x Skunk Mass
1 x Biodiesel Mass
Living on the East coast, received them in 3 weeks from Attitude by money order, which they just stopped accepting. I am growing in a trustworthy friend's closet. After germinating (100% success!!) by paper towel method I planted them in solo cups.
The temp inside is 78 deg F and Humidity is around 60%.
Grow Box: 2'x5'x2.25' covered in mylar
Lighting: 5x60W CFLs, all daylight 6500k.
Medium: 4 parts Fox Farms Ocean Forest, one part Fox Farms Light Warrior, and one part perlite. I've heard this organic mix doesn't require any nutrients so after a pH test I'll only need to water.
These pics are from before finishing the mylar covering
So the story is I have a 400W HID setup (MH and HPS bulbs with air cooled hood) to use but am only planning on using CFLs cause of the heat buildup. In 7 more days we plan to transplant to 3 gallon containers and throw in 6 more CFLs (60W, 2700k). How does this sound in terms of lighting for 10 plants surrounded by mylar?
And planning for the future can anyone give a tip on how to get rid of the smell? He lives in an apartment and (understandably) reallyyyy doesn't want any smell.
It's only been 3 days since germination but they all are sprouting nicely (to my knowledge). I'll have more pics up soon!
