Default CFL Rubbermaid, 5 Plants, BCseeds
permalink
Just made this on the weekend,
Germinated 4 more seeds waiting from them to sprout


I used the following

Rubbermaid Box ($10)
42watt Philips CFL 6500k ($12each)
42watt Philips CFL 2700k ($12each)
bulb socket converter ($3each)
22dba Silent Cooling led Silent Cooling fan ($10each)
300watt power supply ($30)

The strains are from BCseeds.com
Kali Skunk (pictured)
Ice
Upstate

I use tap water and leave it in a container for 24hours+ to remove chlorine. Can i mist the leaves already? Should i wait for the leaves to be dry before exposing to light again?

Soil was purchased at home depot... going to use coco very soon because im going to a hydroponics store.
I have a picture of the soil in attachments will it do?

In the current location the fans work very well and actually drop the temperature lower then it should. Without them on it would easily overheat in a few hours.

How are the plants looking?

Doing a grow journal now.

More Pictures

You can make any powersupply work easily with computer fans just look at the picture of the motherboard 22pin connector. Use a paper clip to connect the small hole with the green wire beside it to the black wire. Then if you plug the power supply in it will work. There is a close up on how to do it. The last picture is the little end piece of the external thermometer

Leaving your water out for 24 hours in the light can cause bacterial growth. I think you'd be better off just using tap water and PH'ing it right away. That seems to work best for me. Bacterial growth will get you off to root rot in a hurry whereas just having to adjust PH with chemicals is more tolerable for the plants.

That's what I do. Just make sure you PH it before you add it. Well that's with a hydro setup. After I PH it and add it, I double check the PH and then readjust if it needs it. That makes it easier on the plant I think. If you have a PH that is way off though, try to adjust it slowly if it's already in your plants. They hate rapid PH changes. Just add some PH Up or PH Down about every 4 hours to adjust it. Give the plants some time to get used to it.

Yeah it would be for a hydro grow. I can't imagine that regular tap would hurt plants if they're in soil though. Not sure though, I don't do soil. But PH'ing a pool balances out chlorine so I've got to imagine that PH'ing your tap water would do the same. I'd just hate to see you get some bacteria but if it's in soil I don't think that letting it stand for a day would hurt it. Soil has bacterias anyway.
