Sup everyone
I been reading and learnign on your wonderfull forum for quite a few month now
I have visited many forums to learn about cubboard growing but always ended up on rollitup So after many months or readign I finally got all the BITZ :O) one needs and made myself a nice Weed Growing cubboard. I took a lot of inspiration from your forum here so Thansk to all the HOW To;s
As I said I read almost everything there is to read for newbees and the more I read and take advice from growers the more confusing it can get . So many different ways and so many different methods ...well i think i realized many ways can be the right one so in the end its all up to the grower
My decisssions are made now , and to force myself ...I just planted 5 seeds ...more about that later
My plans !
I grow in BIO soil with as little as possible interference or additives ..
My cupboard is ready and running
Dimensions :
W: 100cm /3.28 ft
B: 65cm /2.13 ft
H: 190cm /6.23ft
I have 3 TL light up top for the seedlings
3 X 18 WATTS
1 X TL (colour 33) Is this Bad ! Colour for germination/seedlings and early grows (up to 10 days ??
2 X TL (colour 830)
On the bottom I have one 400Watts HPS lamp wired and ready .
Now as said after 6 - 10 days I plan to move them to the bottom under the 400W HPS light .
Ideas Guys ?? ..wrong? right ??)
Now back to my 5 seeds. Strain : pure NL
On pics you can see 2 are out already whilst the rest is still nowhere to be seen .
these all where planted in a Germination kits on the 27th march
They are under the TL lights since then 24hours a day !?
Ideas please !! ..am i doing this right .. I been told and read best to use 24 hours for the 1st 10 days ??
Now we can see 2 are out and about 5 cm (2 inch??) tall already ? They both came very early already on day 5 !
What I do ?
Do i leave em on top shelve under TL with the 3 seeds or move em out re-pot them (small cup of course )and move to the bottom under HPS ?
Many Many !Questions I am sure will arise so I plan to share all my experiences about my 1st season on rollitup and really ....I hope I get the expert help on here that I am sure I will need form time to time ..
Anyway My diary up to now
