Hey folks!
Glad to be here. Ive been hanging around here for a good while. Finally made an account and decided to initiate my first grow. (I have experimented with growing bag seed before, but it was essentially neglect, and I ended up with decent bud out of luck.)
I have ordered 5 Russian Rocket Fuel feminized seeds, by Short Stuff seeds, from dope-seeds.com. Still expecting them in the mail.
I plan on doing one plant for my first attempt. I will do the moist paper towel method of germination.
Few questions first off.
I am using CFL bulbs. I plan to use
a) one 42+ watt CFL in 2700k, as well as a few 26 watters in the 6500k.
or
b)four 23 watt in 2700k with 1 or 2 in 6500k.
Went to walmart and they only had this in stock.
I that one number is 2700 lumens, not 2700k. Does anyone know what color temp this runs at? If not, I will probably order a 105 watt 2700k bulb online
The plants have about 24" of space to grow upright, although I highly doubt it will reach 18"!
I am using a 1 gallon tropicana orange juice jug cut off at the top as my pot. I think this will be neat, being about to use the handle as way to water the roots directly, instead of from the top of the soil. I know light is bad for the roots, so should I paint the jug so light cannot pass through at all?
I am not expecting much from this plant. If I get 7g from it I will be more than happy.
Any tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Here are some pics of my setup so far. I am adding a fan for circulation, and obviously more bulbs/lighting.
