Here we go, let's grow, grow, GROW!!!

OK, I find myself turning to rollitup.org for all of my growing needs, so I figured I would make use of this journal function while I'm here.

WEEK 1
Germination of the seedlings has begun I have them snug in paper towels (keeping damp) underneath my cable box. There is 1 white widow and a dozen bag seeds. It's been 3 full days today and so far only 1 has cracked it's shiny shell. We have a small space in our bedroom closet we are using, we are hoping to have 4 girls flowering by Valentines Day Being on a budget we are using 6 daylight cfl's at 6500K 26w, and 6 soft white cfl's at 2700k 26w for Veg. and plan on just switching the daylights for the same soft whites during flowering. The space in our closet is about 4ft long x 18" wide and 4ft tall. We lined the interior with tin foil and made our own ballast holding 6 of the cfl's, and hung the rest accordingly. We have 2 small desk fans running vertical through the 1/2 of our closet we are using, we just used a piece of plywood and cut out holes, stuck one fan facing in and one facing out. Got a digital t-stat (have to get small heater for dark time, it has dropped below 40 degrees in there) Also must deal with having no humidity (possibly bowl of water and damp towel hung to dry?)

6 daylight 6500k 26w & 6 soft white 2700k 26w for VEG - *I'm not totally sure if I should use all daylights for the VEG but I simply can't afford them. 18hrs light 6hrs dark
12 soft white 2700k 24w for FLOWERING - 12hrs light 12hrs dark.

Lets see how the seeds pop and go from there............

    It was an AMAZING journey, and I am thankful for everyone here who helped me along the way. So happy growing everyone, may your plants give you back the love you put in!

    Hey everyone, nice to see that mostly all of you are still here, and I see some came "back from the dead" so to speak. I'm slowly getting over the heartbreak of what the hackers did to us over here....everything was moving along just great and I was really getting into it.... now it seems that everyday something is a little different. Could just be my mind playin tricks on me....oh well. I do have to use "hide my ass" now when on RIU just to add another layer of protection. It ...

    Well.....I've been busy cutting nanners off and trying to spend a lot of "quality time" with the girls. I know the time is slowly approaching for harvest.....I hope we can all hold out until at least March 1st as that will be around 9 weeks. I would like to go longer than that but I do not think the ladies are going to cooperate........right now I feel like the longer I wait the more seeds I am going to have (Oh I sure hope not....fingers crossed)!!!! Still not going to give any more bloom ...

    You were so beautiful and everything was going so well. I guess Ill never know what happened to make you fill up with all those seeds. I am sorry if I did anything to make that happen to you. Why did you have to go and pleasure yourself like that????? Wasn't my love enough for you???? I guess not I will miss you and I hope I can find something useful to do with you because I cannot throw you away in the trash.....EVER

    I'm sorry again girls....when I typed that I was very upset

I can tell because my leafs look a little claw like and are losing some of their shine on one of my plants.... I don't think I'm going to give them any more bloom booster...it always makes the tips of the leaves a little droopy anyways. At least until I can get some better stuff next time. I will be using only molasses and cal/mag in my water from
