Red face My story of growing Ata Tundra plant :)
Hello my dear fellow grower brothers

I want to say thank you for such great website ! I spend over a week reading forum and realized that I can do that too
For that purpose I used my closet which is only:
1.96x2.4x5.2 feet
Grow Ata Tundra strain and this is my first grow ever
Bought two vegetation CFL 125w each and two flowering lamps CFL 125w each (2700 and 6400 respectively) appears that they do great job
Can use two of them at the same time.
One week passed since I seeds germinated to stage you can see now.

Lightbulb Germinating seeds
Seeds germinated in two days,as you guys advised I used thick paper towel fully moist and left in in glass of water under it, so water vapor can keep towel moist without over drying it.
For first little pots I found that Selecta cups from vending machines works perfectly. Plant seeds in transparent ones and transparent fits fully in brown ones which I covered with duck tape and diamond Mylar sheets. One very important thing is to wash all pots and cups with bleach in order to keep everything clean.

Used hot nail to make holes for drainage.I watered compost first before planting them and used "West plus advanced" compost for all plants. Marvelous thing ! full of nuts, perfect drainage and very airy for roots.
For water I decided to use "Aqua Pura" from Morrison's which gives 6.4 Ph at source and seems to be perfect for weed, cost is 0.98 pence for 5 liters.

Smile Seeds grows into seedlings :)
After six day under one CLF 125w vegetation lamp(18/6 Light) I realized that it was time to transplant them into pots. As roots tried to find their way through drainage holes. Which normally tells that root system is set.

Question 2x 6400k or 1x6400k and 1x2700k
Hello and thank you for reading and hopefully for your advise.
A question: Should I use 2x 6400k or 1x6400k and 1x2700k for my vegetative grow ? And after I'll go into flowering use 2x 2700k.
I read somewhere that it's good to combine warm and cool light when they just going through vegetative part.


thank you

Thumbs up Co2 system is ready
Well We'll see how it goes. Used 2.3 litres milk pint bottle, two full cups of sugar and 2.5 table spoons of dried yeast. Smells like beer brewery
Boiled water and cooled it down to lukewarm temperature. Don't see immediate reaction but read that it might take up to two days to fully activate
If would need more might get 4.6 pint milk bottle.
Also it is easy to control position of plastic tube, will attach it to some kind of candle holder and keep it above plants in the middle.

Friends all comments welcome !

Red face Very strong reaction
Few hours later I found my bottle covered with froth
Looks like I have used a bit too much of yeast or sugar. Cleaned it and now it looks fine.
Hope there are enough co2
Again my closed smells like brewery
