So here's the deal - being very cost-conservative I am going to conduct a grow that is small and simple. I have grown outdoors for years and i just happened to run out as soon as outdoor season was over.

Items in my possession as of right now =

Seeds = Cap'n Crunch (my own strain although has always been outdoors) - some good bag seed.

Lighting = Currently only one CFL 15W 6500K 120V bulb. I don't know if its warm or cold light but I'm guessing its a full spectrum. (found the thing at my girlfriend's house )

Box = Filing cabinet (heavily modified)

Income = Around 100 dollars every week.

I believe this light will suffice for the early veg stage. I plan on buying really nice warm and cools later on. I am going to germinate when i have my grow box complete.

Things i still need =

-Fans.
-A homemade air filter (not till later will i worry about this).
-A second light fixture and 2 y-splitters.
-pH gauge
-thermometer+humidity gauge all in one (i think i can get all of these at home depot)

-Soil + Nutes

(i think i can get all of these at home depot in one trip.)

I will keep this updated very often, as i have nothing else to do on my spare time. Please post suggestions and compliments.

Day two - Beans haven't popped yet, it's been under 24 hours and i don't really expect them too anyways....

The 15w CFL burnt out (i think thats why it was in my girlfriend's kitchen drawer) - The growbox is done just need to get some kind of lightproofing for the front, but they are sliding drawers and i don't know how to lightproof this kind of thing (help/suggestion needed).

The weird looking thing on the back of the cab is just some metal defect don't worry.

I too am growing 3 plants right now and at around the same stage. The 6500k is the day light type bulb so its on the blue spectrum. I have 6 15 watts 6500k cfls and 2 42 watt red spectrum cfls. But mine havent sprouted either and im waiting anxiously even though its only been a day.

Yeah we're on the exact same page bro! Still waiting for mine to pop too..I need lights asap though my cfl burnt out that was trash anyways. I will keep everything updated every day or three.

What kind of soil will you be using?
A concealed setup is always nice..Im in the process of making a big one you cant see
good luck on the grow

I'm using some soil i borrowed from the neighbors, from what i could read on the bag it said "Premium Organic" something or other....I can go back and check the bag for specs if completely necessary but it was brand new and i just opened it when they said to fill up my 5 gallon bucket.

The soil is very dense and its good shit cause they pay top dollar for their gardening shit nextdoor.

And thanks for the post man!

By the way, do you think i can keep them in those red cups for the duration of their lives so i can limit size? Or what can i do to make my space inhabitable comfortably by 3 indicas? (look at pics above)
