Default Ghetto fabulous Northern Lights grow
This is my first attempt at growing for personal consumption. My aerogarden grow went horribly so I decided to start over with soil. I planted 3 Northern Lights seeds obtained from Nirvana. Using three 8 inch pots with 6 daylight 23W CFLS and 1 42W Soft White CFL. They will be growing in a 10X5 ft closet. Not comfortable with doing my own wiring so I will just be hanging the CFL's from a rack that normally hang's clothes. The back wall has Mylar tacked on along with a couple small wood pieces I stood along the side. Also placed mylar on the door but I won't have it closed much because I want good airflow and the heat in there gets close to 90 in the late afternoons.

Now one thing that is going to confuse me will be the soil, I don't have a good indoor garden shop close by so I just used some potting soil from my friend's garage. The name of the soil is Schultz Premium Potting Soil Plus. Underneath the title it says "Feeds up to 9 Months!" If this is the case, should I never use Grow Big or Tiger Bloom in the future? Or will it be safe to use a small amount of additional nutes? Also for odor control I am using a canister of linen scented ona. wondering if this will be enough to block the smell from 3 flowering plants.

Temps in the closet go from 70-89 degrees depending on time of day. Humidty in my closet is about 20% baseline and I have a cheap Wal Mart humidifier which could raise it to about 45%. wondering if I should even bother with adjusting the humidty. The posted pics were taken this evening,the plants are 2 weeks old from sprout. Won't be expecting great results since this is my first real attempt. Comments and tips welcome

DAY 17


Plants coming along nicely, holding off on the nutes since the soil seems to be feeding well.

DAY 21


Plants looking a little wilted, taking advice I have read and letting them get slightly wilted before watering. Added an extremely small amount of Grow Big to my water today just to see if I can get a small boost in growth. Should not be nearly enough to burn anything, I added under half a teaspoon. Already starting to get a sweet aroma floating around the closet.

Day 24


Slight yellowing in bottom set of leaves, not to worried since plants are growing well. Raised CFLS a couple inches to allow for slight stretching. Fimmed tops of new growths. Main issue seems to be heat, closet is getting up into the mid 80's even with fans running. I am pleasantly suprised with the progress of this experiment.
