| |  starting fresh first time grower | |
okay so this is going to be my second grow... the first one was a failure from bag seeds i grew them all wrong... i put the lights way too far and they got all lanky and stringy and couldn't get them to do much else besides grow higher... so i killed those babies and am starting over...
the setup:
i have a 5 plant bubbleponics system with rockwool cubes and hydroton grow medium with 3" net pots... its in a 5 gallon resivior and i have florogro, floromicro, and florobloom nutes... i have a grow space of 2' x 3' x 4' space in my closet designated for growing... i have a 18" double layer flourescent light fixture that has (2) full spectrum tube lights in it and i also have 2 42w CFL's with 10" domes on them that are placed 3" away from the top of the hydro system.
the temp of the room never goes above 78 F and never falls below 75 F i have a fan going on 24 hours a day 7 days a week on a low speed right next to the hydro system. i have a thermometer in the hydro water and it is maintained at about 78 along with the space maintained at 78. the humidity level in the space is approx. 45% during light on and 43% when light is off...
i also have a ph test kit that i test the ph of the water before i add the chemicals and after i add the chemicals i keep the ph at about 6.5
the plan:
i am going to germ 5 seeds at a time (i bought 15 seeds of Skunk #1 and 15 seeds of Shiva Shanti II from Sensi Seeds)
i'm going to start with the skunk seeds and hopefully all will germ and if not i will germ more until i have all 5 spots on my hydro occupied
any information or questions or concerns for me will be greatly appreciated... hopefully real real soon i will have the digital camera up and running to take the pictures to update for you... wish me luck

well technically no this isn't my first time i have been trying and trying over the past 2 years... i put some seeds in my parents garden outside... but always gets caught because my dad is one of the biggest hippies i know and he used to grow and he smokes alot... so he sees it and kills it and then tries to kill me.... but ya i have done that a lot... then i tried doing an indoor grow but first didn't have the start up capita... or the materials or lights or anything... but i started doing research and ended up finding this killer hydro system for 30 bucks on ebay... and i went to the hydro store and got some nutes... and went to lowes and got some lights... and then bought some seeds from a seed bank... and this is going to be my first successful grow... so technically no this isn't my first grow... but yes it will be when its done..
p.s. new update got another sprout a few hours later... also only 2 out of the 5 sprouted so i started 3 more in my hydro-dome in some rockwool cubes... pics comming asap |
