My First Grow & My New Room
So I finally finished constructing my grow room. The dimensions are 9FT X 6FT X 7FT tall. The 400 MH/HPS (with both bulbs) is on it's way as is my hydro drip system and seeds. While I was waiting for the goodies I germinated (paper towel method) several bag seeds that I had lying around. Weed source for seeds varies from mids to real good dank/headies (strain unknown). Well low and behold 8 seeds germinated and my equipment was still not here! So I went ahead and started a temp soil grow to get them all sprouting. After that I will have to transplant them to my hydro setup (should be here this week). So this is more of a trial run than a first grow leading into my first grow but what the heck. I have pics of my room and the ghetto setup until everything arrives. I plan on building a cabinet within the room for cloning and then possibly divide or expand it for a veg room and flower room... we shall see! I will update frequently so any advice on anything and everything I am doing, should be doing or should not be doing is appreciated. Thanks!

Amazing really... LOL


So now I guess I just sit and wait?

Feel free to comment!

the lights are a bit too high for your little babies. nice drill! i'm thinking 2 feet high, depends on the heat. i also didn't see a fan. congrats!!

2 feet? those are cfls bro, more like 2 inches. keep those lights as close as possible .

Thanks for the replies... I moved the CFLS down some (see pics below). Also, at what plant height/development should I kick over to 400W MH? It showed up today! Also, I swapped out shitty nutrient enriched soil for top soil with perilite. A few sprouted but I lost a few seeds in the moving process... oh well got some more seeds from some nice weed this weekend germinating now. WHERE THE FUKC iS MY HYDRO SETUP???!?!?? DAMN EBAY.

Well transplanting them into soil/perilite mix (is that good/bad?) seems to have worked ok... they all grew some since last night. How often should I water these?

Got some updates for yall. Since my last post I installed the 400MH and also germinated good seeds - 5 cali skunk and 5 free unknowns from seedbank. They sprouted and just tonight I put them under the MH in hydro setup with soil plants. All comments, advice or criticism welcome!







Ok so I germinated the good seeds in this new germination station (lid off for pictures). Came home tonight and they all grew some! Can't wait to get these guys in the hydro setup. My soil plants grew a little bit but not much change....

Seeds sprouted:

Transplanted seedlings into hydro setup and put under MH. Hopefully it all goes well. All comments welcome.

hey is there anyway you could pm me about how you made that setup with the big tub for hydro. or where you found out how to get it. thanks a lot man. and everything is looking good.
