Just moved into my small two bedroom apartment with my good friend and have been planning to grow for a while now...

I plan on documenting the whole grow so feel free to comment

My intial setup was pretty amusing to be honest, I kind of went in with no idea what to do...

yesterday I found some lumber outside my apartment so I ran to Lowes, where I work :) and picked up some supplies for building a grow box

Its 3ft deep x 2ft wide x 4.5ft tall - cost me 20 bucks to build! its simply amazing

Sorry for the picture quality my camera is acting up so these are from my phone

using 6 inch pots for now

anyone know what humidity I should be at...my hydrometer reads 55-60%. Seems a bit high to me?
Also, when should I be adding my nutes?

High humidity is good for seedling & clones I rock it at about 80%(in a propagation tray W/ heat mat). Organic soil already has some nute in it am sure so they should be fine for atleast a week without nutes. You might wanna get a few more CFL's in their...
