-~-Lexter's Grow Journal-~-

Hey,
This is the beginning of my Grow Journal,i will do my best!
Let's get started.

Im shooting for 5 bagseed and 5 white widow but am considering adding another 5 juicy fruit seeds.But because i live in an appartement and dont want my neighboors knowing i think i will stick to 10 plants unless someone disagrees.

I currently have 5 2week old seedlings.(Bagseed)
It's being done in a Closet.

I live in an appartement so i cant cut any holes in my closet.
I have an ozone generator that i ordered online for 100$ to keep out smells.

Current setup:
-5 2week old seedlings
-6 43w CFL and 2 4foot fluorescents ( T8 )
-miracle grow african violet potting soil.

2 of the 5 seedlings were showing signs of nitrogen defficiency.
Thought it was due to overwatering or underwatering but i was wrong.PH is at 6.5.
I gave it vigoro's all purpose fertilizer.1 teaspoon per gallon.Gave them both 150ml and they are recovering fine.

I had to start from scratch again...
3 months ago,i had a burgulary and the assholes took everything.Plants,lights,TV,Computer.Everything that was valuable.


My setup in a week:
-5 3 week old bagseed and 5 white widow sprouts.
Should i also add 5 juicy fruit seeds?Will my 400w be able to handle 15 plants?Would it be too risky?
-400w MH/HPS.
-3 pack foxfarms nutes.
-advanced nutrients OverDrive
-Fox farms oceans forest mixed with perlite.
-20 3gallon grow bags
-20 5 gallon grow bags
-Jr. ozone generator
-basic neccesities(Ph up/down,thermometers etc.)


The issues i'm having:
-Ventillation.
I'm only using 2 blowing fans to keep the closet temps under control with the CFL's and fluorescents.
Temps never get above 83F. but am afraid that i will have major temp issues when the 400w arrives.
I cant cut any holes or have tubes all over my appartement.
Any solutions?
-This has been asked before but would growing 15 plants,in an appartement,under a 400w be too much?


I will be posting pics and will be updating every 4 days.

Alright, wish me luck 'mates!

I've been thinking of buying a hollow core door and cutting holes in it for 4" inline fans for circulation of air then replacing the door when I'm finished. What do you think? Do you think that it would work for you?

Good Idea I was about to say that, just put the original door back before you move out and the land lord will never know!

Awesome idea!
The door is a sliding door so i can slide one of the doors right on and off.
So how do i set it up?I go to home depot and buy a plastic plate the same dimensions as the door.
I drill 2 4" or 5" holes into the plastic.One on the bottom left and one on the top right side?
I then buy 2 4" or 5" computer fans?I set up both the other way around so the one on the bottom left will be sucking air in and the one on the top right will be sucking air out.
I then fix the door onto the top railing next to the regular other sliding door.
Is that how it works?
How do i work the wiring and electricity?I read the GrowFaq already.
How much would it cost in total?

Ditch the computer fans they don't move enough air for a closet get a bathroom fan from home depot it move more air. I would put a passive intake vent at the bottom of the door. Then run a duct to the back top of your closet to the top of the door with a bathroom fan exhausting out. If you don't understand electrical work leave it alone wiring fans is self easy just re-read the directions to make sure you connect the wires right. Cost will depend on the type of equipment you buy and can vary. Good Luck!

*Update*
-Ph levels:6.3
-temps:its been swingin around 77F.
-humidity:around 40%


Here are some pics taken today.
These are all the bagseed.
-first pic:2 weeks old and going good.
-2 pic:This one is 2.5 weeks old.It had a problem.Either overwatering or due to the fact i had them on 24hrs. lighting.Giving it 150ml of 1 teaspoon of vigoro's all purpose plant food seemed to fix the problem quite fast.
I'm currently still waiting it out.
-3 pic:same age as the one in the 2 pic.
It had the same problem but it's currently well on it's way to recovery.
Not too comfortable about the yellow little spots on the leaves.
-4 pic:2 weeks old and going good!

There is a fifth one well on it's way.It just popped the soil.

Any comments or tips on what i could be doing wrong?

EDIT:
I bought something at a nursery.
I told the guy i was growing some tomato plants but i cant seem to keep the temps under control.
He said:"Wait no longer".
He showed me this fan that can maintain a certain temp in a grow space.
It is working flawlessly.
It cost me about 80$ but its really worth it.
I got the temps down to 74F. and hasn't lowered or risen since.

I cant wait 'till all the stuff comes.
The plants will be happy to be under a 400w MH/HPS,finally a decent soil,3 gallon grow bags and to be in a perfect temp controlled enviroment.
The white widow and juicy fruit seeds are on there way too!
Can a 400w MH/HPS handle 10 mature plants?
After the 5 white widow and bagseed grow is done,i will start again with 5 juicy fruit and 5 white widow or 5 Ak-47.
God bless the 10 free juicy fruit seeds BCseedking sends.

Your tomatoes are looking good so far! What kind of fan did you buy exactly? Keep us updated!

Hopefully the tomato plants will grow beautifull buds.
It is quite space consuming but it has this little digital thing on the bottom and a + and - buttom next to it.I just push in 75F. and it does it's thing.
The wind is way way to strong for the plants so i aim it at the ceiling.
It was sold to me in cellofane wrapping with a sticker on it that says:
Enviroment control fan.
89.97$
And then the barcode on the bottom.
It didn't come with any instructions or anything so i'm gonna go back there and ask fot them.
Ill ask for the brand and model.
i'm uploading pics.
Ill post the pics that i took untill this point.

EDIT:
I just looked at the pics and my walls are not pink.

Btw,
If anyone has an idea of what strain they could be,speak your mind.
Indica or sativa.

Hard to tell much of anything this early on . . . .

Tell us more about this environment control fan. Can we see a picture of it?

I will post some pics.
It does work but not as good as i first thought.
Uploading.

I'm definitely interested in seeing how this fan works (or doesn't).

Keep us updated!

Didja forget about us?
