My first attempt at a thread like this and a grow like this (or a grow at all).

It's not entirely accurate to call it my first, as I grew some bag seed in a DWC set-up very similarly, but they were all males, so I figured to start all over with some Femmed seeds from 'tude.

Growing in a closet, with a 250w HPS (I know that MH would be ideal at this stage, but I have to go with what I've got) using an 18 Gallon Tote with 4 sites.

Using Technaflora Nutes.The strains I am growing are: Barney's Farm Amnesia Lemon, World of seeds Madness and Delicious seeds La Musa. Madness and La Musa were freebies. May as well make my rookie mistakes with some freebies.

The one issue I had with my bagseed grow, was keeping the temps down. I have been able to keep the temperature on this one between 76 - 79 degrees, a trend I hope continues for the next few months.

Started seeds to Germ: May 21
Planted Germed Seed in Rockwool: May 23 (May 24 for Madness)
Placed in DWC Tote: May 25 (May 26 for Madness)

Here we are. Will continue to update and am open to any constructive criticism (or not so constructive criticism..I have pretty thick skin). I started with the light at about 3ft, but have lowered it to 2 Ft. Wanted to err on the side of caution with the HPS and seedlings combo.

    Just a thought... why not add a couple of cfls on cheap clamp lights? That will give you more bud sites and make your stock thicker. That alone will increase if not double your first yeild. Best of luck.

    Hey thanks for the tip. Any suggestions on the wattage for the the cfls?

    Updated for Day 6.

    Definitely going to move at least one of these plants, if not all 4 to buckets. La Musa is an auto and she will likely start flowering earlier than the other 3. Sucks that I will affect my yield on her when I have to flip to 12/12 for the others. Oh well, free and will be ready to blaze first if all goes well. Will also be using that CFL advice.
