I have been on RIU learning all the ins and outs and I think it is time for my first entry of my grow journal.
I germinated on Aug 19th. (5 for 6 seeds)
I potted them on Aug 22nd.
My lighting rig has 10 overhead light sockets and is adjustable in height. I am currently using 5- 23W 6500K CFLs. (1 for each plant) with a conical mylar sheet reflectors that I made.
They are actually quite effective. The light is blinding. You can see the CFLs through the mylar, probably 1% of the light that is transmitted through the sheet.
I intend to use all 10 sockets and have CFLs on the sides and below the canopies when the ladies mature.
I intend to switch to 1 gallon pots eventually. The cabinet is about 1.5' x 2.5 ' x 6'
For flowering, I am trying to get 250W HPS system that I will mount on a homemade reflector system.
My partner is taking care of all the nutes and knows what he is doing.
Anyways, this is my first of probably a weekly update to log my activity. I know RIU will help me see this through to harvest!
