Day 1: GERMINATION

After spending quite a large amount of money in my terms i've finally acheived what I think could quite successfully grow a couple of lowryders (for those who dont know: The lowryder is an autoflowering-dwarf which under correct conditions can go from seed to harvest in 9 weeks)

The strain i'm more difinitively growing is the Lowryder x Santa Maria

This is the start of my grow, i'm germinating the seeds as I write this, i've got a 400W High Pressure Sodium Bulb/Hood/Ballast with a fan to cool the lamp and grow

Here's my setup

Here's what it looks like from the outside of my closet(wardrobe) it still needs sealing cus all the light comes through the plastic windows
£50 wardrobe

Here's with the door open, it's pretty bright but it's definately concealable
£75 Hood Ballast Bulb

Here's a picture of the fan which i've got circulating, the wooden wall on the left of the fan is going to have a vent gap with an exhaust fan leaving the wardrobe (sorting that tomorrow)
£15 Fan

Once again it's not the greatest camera in the world but this is where I want my vent for exhaust
£5 Vent

This is a closeup of my pots, i'm using jiffy plugs to germinate them and then putting them in this clean-clay medium, i've washed it and everything so it's sterile
£5 Clay Pebbles

This is the reserviour, it's a hydro setup ofc, this is the pump line leading out of the reserviour upto the bottom of the pots
£135 Hydropod two-pot set

Here's a list of just some of the things i've bought to fulfill this hobby:
£50 Ikea Wardrobe
£135 Hydropod Two Pod Set
£5 B&Q Vent
£5 Desktop Fan
£5 4 Gang Contactor Relay
£18 Digital Timer
£75 400W HPS Hood Ballast and Bulb

£45 Seeds: Lowryder x Santa Maria Cross

This sum of money

Anyway this is
