Inaugural Grow

Pics to follow - gotta figure out how to upload them from other than a url. I do have recent pix uploaded to my "album."

All beans purchased from The Attitude: 10 "regular" Blueberry from Dutch Passion 2 freebies: Feminized Afghan Kush x Skunk and Fem / Auto Northern Lights x Big Bud. The BB's popped (cup of water method) w/in 24 hours, the WoS beans took almost a day later and clearly got a slower start. I then put them in an "inflated" zip lock between damp paper towel and let their tap roots get as long as 1/2" or better (about a day), then replanted in recycled (sterilized) 4" dia nursery cups.

Veg room is 4.5' x 4' x6.5' (117 cu ft). Plain mylar all around except the entrance door, which I often leave open for ventilation as this room is otherwise unvented. One 4' T8 fixture with (2) 4,100 bulbs and (2) 5,000 bulbs for 11,600 lumens running 18/6. Because I had a 4' T12 "gro lite" fixture with (2) 2,400k bulbs (3,400 lumens) I threw that in there too. All lamps are about 6" over the plant tops and ajustable so I can and will raise them as the plants get bigger. Veg room tends to run 75F-88F during the day (its been hot around here) with an avg temp of about 80F. Humidity is running about 40RH. I have a good humidifier but honestly can't afford the $13 filter / wick (inc shipping as it's off season and no one local has them) right now. The plants seem to be healthy and happy, but I'd like to increase RH to around 60+.

    Soil is Root Organics Original and I'm alternating between plain (distilled) water and water with nutes (R-O Buddha Grow, R-O Trinity and R-O Ancient Amber). Following the R-O feeding chart.

    Bloom Room is ready to accept them and it's 11'L x 4'W x 5'H (220 cu ft). Only plan to use about half of this for grow and other half for storing of grow-related stuff. (1) 600 watt H.I.D. Hut "complete spectrum" HPS in a Sun System Blazer sealed and ducted hood. Room air is scrubbed ...
