CFL Closet Grow - 130 Watts- Grow Log

Im growing some good mids. I put my germinated seeds in the potting mix about 2 days ago and they havn't popped up yet. But I have everything all set up for them to veg.

Medium:
I bought some Miracle-Gro Potting Mix with time released fertilizer for 3 months.




Lights:
I have 4 26W 6500K CFLs above the 2 plants and another 26W 6500K CFL on the side leaning in. I am going to get a clamp lamp with a reflector soon. Probably a 42W 6500K CFL too.




Ventilation:
I have a big box fan blowing on the plants into the box at all times. Air pushed out from the top so I think it works pretty well. My hand doesnt get hot either.




Fertilizer:
I bought Miracle-Gro All Purpose Fertilizer [15-30-15]
I know all of you are going to freak out about Miracle-Gro, but don't. I am going to use it.

I water the seeds with some mist once a day a little bit. When they sprout I will give them a spoon full or two. I wont start on nutes for a while because the mix already has some.

When the plants get bigger I plant on taking them out of the box and just on the floor where they are right now. I can put some foil around them and hang the lights from above and they will have more room to grow.

As of smell, I havnt thought that far yet. I have used dryer sheets in the past and they have worked, also keep my window open or cracked.

I also have marijuana Buds for Less: Grow 8 Oz. of Bud for Less Than $100, and marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible to help me out on the way.


So how do thing the setup is?

Day 1

One of my seeds sporouted today. I had to re germinate some more seeds because one of my seeds never came up so I planted that yesterday.

I water them about a spoonfull or two.

I am using MG as well and so far so good.
Here is 1 week into 12/12
Master Kush clone LST
Pot is 12" wide and plant is 11" tall x 17" at her widest.


I used it last grow with stellar results.
Am currently adding MG super bloom 1/2 strength w/ every watering.
Gonna flush like hell starting 1.5 weeks before harvest.

I wish you well on your endeavor.

Thanks man, Im really looking forward to watching them grow up! I am worried about not having enough lighting. I plan on growing them kidna small anyway.

subbed...good luck with the grow bro

Day 2

The little girl (hopefully) on the right grew a tiny bit and the one on the left still hasnt sprouted. Im worried that the one on the right is gonna be to much bigger than the left.
I watered them a little bit today too. My lights are on 24/0 now too.

So I got home today and I found my little plant fallen over all shriveled up looking... So im germinating some more seeds. Stay tuned.

So my seeds germinated and I just put them in the mix. Now in a few days I will hopefully have a few new little tiny seedlings.

Seeds almost reached the top of the pot.

Sweet! Ill keep an eye on this

I started a new journal because this one got off to a bad start.
