Default 1st Grow (about time!) All CFL (maybe) 2 femmed WW
OK,
Ive been asking alot of questions whether it be through PM or posting others threads. Thank you all for the help. I got the seeds from Nirvana in December and procrastinated this long on my enclosure till now. The 2 WW have been growing for about a week and a half now. Germinated in the rockwool in the soil. Will being LSTing the two plants. Hopefully they will not turn into hermies. Ill be taking clones off the best female.

Enclosure: Dresser that matches the rest of my furnature. 1.5Dx3Wx4.5H. Ill post all the picures of this also. Intake and exhaust fan. Lined with mylar. Temp inside the box is ranging between 75 and 81 depending how cool it is outside and if the A/C is on in the room.

Soil: FFOF, 20-30% more perlite added. 3 gallon pots.

Nutes: Later on either Age Old Organis or FF GB and BB. Right now im only using a tiny bit if Root Juice. I know that the FF is a little hot but no signs of burn.

Lights: DYI light fixture (will post pics later). Made from a chrome painted 4 bulb bathroom light fixure. Added wings wrapped in Mylar. Added Y splitters to add 1 more light to each socket. 8 lights total in this fixture. 4 42 watt 2700k and 4 27 watt 6500k CFLs. I also have 2 65 watt Flourex Flood lights 6500k that I will be adding later.

Ill be adding pictures later of everything. I might buy a MH/HPS later on down the road and leave this enclosure with the CFL's for just clones.

After removing everything. I removed everything from the drawers themselves and just used the outside parts of the drawers. I added hinges to every one.

I also Had to reframe the inside of the cabinet so it would look somewhat normal when closing the cabinet doors. Also to keep most of the light in.

The only drawer that I left in tact was the bottom one. It there to hold the pots. If im watering and there is runoff, i can lift the pots out and clean it out. The drawer is lined with plastic bags for waterproofing.

I did add about a 4 inch extention to the back of the cab because I wanted more depth and some passive ventilation. I will be sealing this off and set the fans up for intake and exhaust. The cab was wrapped in mylar. 2 hooks were installed to the inside to hang my light.

The second pic is the end result. Still have to work on the light coming out of the second drawer up from the bottom. Going to get some rubber molding for that

This is my light fixture for now. Its was originally a 4 bulb bathroom light fixture that was $15. I added the the Y splitters to each. I bought a piece of aluminum cut it in half, screwed it to the fixture and angled the wings about 45 degrees. I wrapped each with mylar. It has 4 42W bulbs 27k (11,200 lumens) and 4 27W 65k bulbs(7200 lumens). The Flourex bulbs you see in the pics are no longer in there because they didnt work. I also have 2 65w flourex flood lights that I will be using (not pictured) later on in the grow. I might even switch to a 150 HPS.

Now..here are my 2 babies....

They both germinalted in rockwool that was already planted in the soil. Im going to try to do an all organic grow. Trying to get my hands on Age Old Organics but if not Im going to use the the three Fox Farms nutes. The Soil is FFOF. It is a little hot so Im not doing anything for about a month or more.

Both plants were germinated at the same time about 11 days ago.
The first plant seemed to be the strong one at first. I showed its first leaves first and then just slowed down.
The second plant is actually much bigger than the first plant but started slow. The shell from the seed was actually holding it first leaves when it was about 1 inch above the soil. (I helped it a little bit) I removed the shell as careful as I could and then it just took off. Ive been following the "Buds for Less" book for watering. It seems to be working ok. Only Phed water and root juice right now.

So what do you guys think? Feel free to write whatever you want. Say it sucks, good, bad, ok, ur an asshole...lol...tell me what you guys feel....haha

Thanks
N&M

Those babies looks healthy. They're not stretching, very tight internode structure. Keep up the good work.
