Hello.
I'm a first time grower and growing for personal use, not going to sell any, so I'm not growing much.
Seeds used: feminized Special Queen 1 x10, Power Flower x1 (from RoyalQueenSeeds.com) (hoping to get at least 4 out of 11 alive)
I am planning to grow inside.
My setup:
Window, using 8-10 hours a day, for natural light, the window is pointing south, so there always is maximum amount of sunlight possible
During dark periods, going for a fabric wardrobe (fabric to allow better air circulation). Dimensions: 50 x 75 x 160 cm. It is fully covered in reflectors from inside (aluminium foil).
Light: 3x24W (72W) warm white CFL (2700K, couldn't find any higher temperature CFLs in my city, went through all the shops), one Ultraviolet 15W CFL (to cover the missing high temperature colours + have read it increases THC, gonna turn off during flowering, since I read it is better to give warm light during that period). So in total 87W of CFL, 72W during flowering. The light height is adjustable, going to move along with the plants as they grow, keeping about 5-10cm away from the tops of the plants. In one wardrobe planning to place 4 plants. If more survive, then I will build an additional wardrobe).
So I am going for 8-10 hours natural light, 6-8 hours artificial light, 8 hours of darkness.
Questions:
1. Will this setup provide enough light?
2. How to get all 11 seeds survive the beginning? Or is it even possible? Thinking of using wet towel method, then tiny peat pots, then cutting those pots (not planting the pots) and planting the roots with soil (not to touch them) in large plant pots
3. Any other tips and links to very useful threads are very welcome
