Very first grow - Stealth dresser cab - 156W cfl - Bag seeds

**alilayk** · 08-18-2012, 04:32 PM

I started with probably 20 bagseeds, germed about 5 in a cup of water, 5 in a paper towel, and the rest straight into soil. I dont plan on keeping 20 plants lol but I have pleeenty of seeds so i wanted to try this out to see what works best.

I have Baccto Premium Potting soil mixed about 30 percent or so with miracle grow perlite. I also have some burpees coco coir pellets that i put some seeds in to see if those will work out. After germing the seeds i put them in the soil with an inch of perlite at the bottom and some in the coco pellets.

Once they sprout I'll have them in a gutted dresser with 3x26W 2700k cfl and 3x26w 6500k cfl. I plan to make a carbon filter and put in 3 or 4 fans pc fans for ventilation.

Comments and questions welcome!

Pictures of the dresser will be up soon.

Would it be better to paint the inside flat white or cover in mylar?

ok so last night before i went to bed i had nothing showing above soil at all then i check today and some have sprouted. the ones that have sprouted are in a pc grow box i built and originally planned to use but i decided my dresser would work much better. these seedlings will stay in here until the dresser is finished.

how do the sprouts look?

should they be closer to the light or should i give em a couple days where they are?

thanks in advance for all the support comments and questions appreciated

UPDATE: Nothing too exciting - still working on the full size cab but i think these will be ok in here til i finish it. Couple of em have some small white spots on them ...any ideas ? maybe its nothing .

The stems look very purple, judge for yourself. is that a symptom of something or is it just normal? keep in mind these are seeds from a bag of mexi dirt weed

PICS:

How do they look? lemme get some feedback from all the experts i know are lurking

ps the pics blow up HUGE if you click on em very high res
