Ok, so i have just put my seeds (3 white widow and 2 hindu kush, from toronto420seedbank.com) under lights and have started them germinating. This is not my first time growing however it is with purchased seeds and my last attempts did not go the best to say the least.
I was hoping someone could take a look at what I have going on and answer a few questions for best results...
So I have converted a wardrobe into a 2 chamber grow area. The top I am using for germinating now and then for pretty much everything except flowering and then the bottom for flowering (stoage right now). I have fans pulling air into the bottom, from the bottom area to the top and from the top out...
Should I have any of these fans running right now? Currently I do not. I have a few timers that I could use to turn the fans on and off if that would be best... I have my container with the seeds covered with plastic wrap with holes cut in it for humidity. Is this a good idea?
I have 2 - 20W flourescent plant and aquarium bulbs in my top chamber. My grow area is approx. 30" by 18" should this be sufficient? I was planning on keeping the lights on all the time for the germination. And down below I have 6 - 13W CFL's (I did have a 400W HPS but it gave me a lot of heat problems and pretty much burnt my bag seed)... should I consider upgrading to 27 watters when the time comes?
I am planning on starting a grow journal once these baby's pop out of the soil so please help me get them there... Also while I'm on the topic of soil I have a mixture of 1 part peat moss to 1 part vermiculite and 1 part perlite. Is this good or should I consider adding, modifying, scrapping it and getting something new all together?
Thanks in advance.
