My brother was telling me about his buddy who grows indoor(hydro I believe) and that he really enjoys it so that got me looking into it.Found RIU.org and decided I was gonna give it a go with dirt first then try my hand at hydro.

Made me a lil grow room on wheels.Two big metal racks with adjustable shelving,Two 4"-2bulb florescent lights 6500k daytime (one on each shelf).
Had some emergency blankets in a kit i got at TARGET.(see through when no light is on but when on they are extremely reflective,not sure what it's made of but a post I read before says it's mylar.)
**PICS wil be posted after I give some more info**

Bag seeds from some pretty good middies.Started in a paper towel then put in some of them cheap seed starter trays.MG potting soil (started before I really read all the other posts about using it but it's working good for me so far I think)mixed in some peat moss.
Started with sun light till I decided if I was growing inside or back in the woods.Have since transplanted into some bigger pots and they started to thrive.Plants are roughly 3 weeks old...something like that lol wasn't worried about keeping track at the time but I plan to update this.

And now for some pics...Hopefully I can get it right the first time as I normally don't post pics in forums.Not sure of the file size but I'm thinking they may be around 800kb each.I'll try to reduce the size next time.

Ok so there ya have it.Last 3 pics were a little blurry I'll try to clean them up next time.

Any comments,suggestions tip's?

Few things I forgot to add
Using some MG dissolving food tabs in a squirt bottle.I give a few lil squirts every 3 days around the base of the plant and every other day I give a lil foilage feed right before their bed time.Timers set on 6am/off 12am.
Temp is steady 75 using well water with no kind of filters/softeners (told ya I'm out in the country.Nothing tastes as good as pure,cold ground water)
Humidity is reading at like 58
The lights don't put out much heat but to keep the light down i covered it all in a dark sheet and a old blanket and just so happened to keep it at a decent temp.
Also have a small fan blowing through it all.

**one last pic of the set up when it's closed down**

nah man thats a sick setup
when they gte big they obvously wont fit in that cage thing
so when you put them in a dif space hang a few CFL's around it to add to your light

I have a second rack that I'm gonna use once they start to get to big just gonna need more emergency blankets or actually modify it so I can use mylar.

The racks don't show size very well from pics but they are roughly 47x18x76(inches) so they are actually pretty good size.I also have a few of the biggest CFL's Lowes had that I'm gonna put in there.

Question:
Do I need the 35k lights in there right now for anything?They are growing good as is with nothing but 65k so I figure all is good.If so I'm gonna have to upgrade to some 4 bulb set-ups.

No input from anyone else?

Still no input?
Did I really do that well on my first try?I know there are a few things I can improve on but I figured this design would have been picked apart lol.

Ah well...I'll be posting more pics probably Monday.They've already perked up a bit more.I was giving to little water.Now I pour it fast till it covers the whole top of pot then sit it flat and let it soak in.Worked great.Also cut back foliage feeding to every other night.One or two of them started to get a few yellow spots.

pvc and blackplastic room with a MH and a fan or two is all u need for a closet/ shelf type thing

Hey Man Welcome to RIU,

There are some things I would like you to know.

1) I hope your the only person that knows, the most common reason for getting busted is telling someone, second to stealing power.
2) Check your local laws. That is alot of plants, where I'm from over 13 gets you a mandatory minimum of 5 years.
3) Miracle grow is not your best fert solution for your plants. It is a synthetic that your plants cannot properly absorb. It mearly gives the plants a quick pick-up, then a hard crash, making you have to give it more in a couple days. (To compare, it is alot like crack, just for plants.)
4) At your current size I would not be giving them any , espeacially strong, ferts right now.
5) You should strongly refrain from watering before your lights go off. Water+darkness+mild temperatures= mold, & bud rot.
6) You will need alot bigger of a setup for 12 plants. I have one and it currently (While Tied down) is 3' tall, and about 1 1/2' in diameter.

Reccomendations (These are mine, there are many like it, but this one is mine.)

1) Build yourself a grow box, there are many plans on here as to how to properly do it. Mine is 4'tall x 3' wide x 2' deep, and its only enough space for maybe 5 max. Your gonna have 12 monsters on your hands.

2) You need ALOT more light. ALOT more. Only go with 6500k for now while in the vegitative state. I reccomend T5 HO flouro tubes with some aid from 6500k 26w CFLs.

3) Use some good ferts, get rid of the Mansanto produced Miracle Grow crapp. Go to your local garden shop and buy some a)fish emulsion, b)bat guano, c)worm castings, d)bone meal, and e)seaweed extract. Make a tea, or mix b,c,and d into your soil when you transplant.

4) Buy a good timer and set it for 18/6. Alot of people say 24/0, but if your into biology you will know that plants need a dark period to respire.

5) From personal experiance, flower when your plant is about 10" tall, or 8 nodes. I waited until mine was 19" tall, now I have a freakin giant.

Good luck man, I hope I was some help. These are my opinions, some people may love miracle grow and sleep with it under their pillow. I don't like synthetic hormones in my beef, and I don't want synthetic crap running through my plants. Remember, stay smart. Tell no one, not even your brother. Because for people who dont, its always cool to know someone who grows, and that knowledge with a false sense of trust can be detrimental to your criminal record. Take pics, and keep us updated.
