First Grow

I first found this website over a month ago and I am just beginning to build my room. I plan on having two seperate grow areas. I am building the first and then I predict a month until I will need the other room up and running. i have researched this a great deal and have spent thousands to get everything right.


I first ordered from Nirvana, but never received the beans. I have since ordered Jack Herrer from the Doc and am waiting with anticipation. If i don't get the beans from Nirvana within 2 months, I will email them. If I get no beans, I have 20 plus seeds from a 2 oz's I purchased a month ago.

I have changed my thoughts several times to do this and I finally have figured it out. It isn't like they have a manual to do this, but I have done extensive research.

This is my gear in the room I am using. I painted epoxy paint with skid resistant texture, so I wouldn't bust my ass on spilt water. I am using Reflectix around they entire room, as I hear his reduced heat signature. I have also been running the electricty to the max so when I get growing, I can conserve and not be a big difference.

I will have a the fan as you see under the shelf that will have the can filter combo on it. it will exhaust through the top. I have a 6" Y duct that will collect the air from the cool tube and the combo filter and exhaust to the top. I have another can fan that will push air through the cool tube and an air booster to help exhaust the hot air into the Y connecter and out the top.

I am going to cut the a/c square duct and install a booster fan to draw cool air in the summer and warm air in the winter. If I have to I will just unplug the fan in winter if it is too warm, but in the basement it is pretty cool.

I am using fox farm organics. ocean farm soil and light warrior as the starter medium. they are in the blue bags. I m also using both tri-packs they offer. I am also going to get rockwool to put my clones in and the clone box will fit on the shelf until the other room is complete.

I am very stoked and this friday I should get most of it done. I need to install a 4 socket electric outlet in the ceiling, with help, then I am going to sheetrock the top and lay more Reflctix.

More pics to come on friday...

These Seeds are from a bag of dank I bought a couple of months ago. I am waiting for different shipments of seeds from a couple different seed banks. I am practicing with these. This bud was pretty good, but I wanted the kill.

I soaked my seeds in a cup of water. I used a kabob skewer and dipped it into superthrive and stirred it up. I let the seeds soak overnight and then placed them in clear cups using fox farm light warror.

So far, the first 5 i did germed, so I proceeded to germ another 11 yesterday. One of the seeds sprouted up with the shell still on it and this morning I carefully removed it so the leaf could get some light.

Here are pics of my little babies.

Here are a couple pics of the bud. Anyone have an idea what it is??? I think he told me, but I forgot or didn't believe him.

now time for a bowlski!

lol kinda looks like Jack Herer

these 5 seedlings sprouted out of the soil on saturday. planted the rest saturday night. both soaked in water for 24 hrs with a drop of supertrive.

the light is a 400 hps sunlight systems 6" cooltube with a eye bulb.

i have a can fan combo pulling air out of the room connected to y ducting with the booster fan helping pull air from the cooltube. another can fan pulling air from outside through the cooltube, and another bringing in fresh air to the room.

the door is mylar with industrial strength velco. i am not the best carpenter and even though my room is square, the outside wall isn't exactly flush. anyways, it is my first attempt.

I need some help from some people with experience to tell me if i am going in the right direction.

I have only fed them with water and a drop of superthrive, ppm is 27-32 and one time i put a drop of grow big per fox farms schedule, but very dilluted.

the seedling are in fox farm light warrior and I will be transplanting them to fox farm ocean forest. i am going with fox farm nutes, all six of them, liquids and solubles.

these seeds are part of about 60 i got from 2 oz. pics above of said bud.

I also ordered from Nirvana, the Doc, and Attitude. so far nothing, but Nirvana is shipping my order out again! BIG ups to them for being extra cool. docs are 11 days out and attitude hasn't shipped yet. I am waiting for White Widow, Supergirl. jack herrer from doc, and ak47, white russian, and barney's blue cheese, with the freebies from attitude.


any comments would be much appreciated.

also got that wall fan to keep my girls strong.

I first planted 5 just to see what would happen. the i planted 11 more. i figure there will be some males so i will clean them out and have more oom forthe ladies.

it has been three week since i germed the fisrt 5. these pics were taken a few days ago.

thanks, not quite as up to date as yours. i am inthe process of finishing the colset in my room to veg in there. I have a sunleaves pioneer VI HO T5 for the closet.

i started 4 nirvana ww's and 4 nirvana supergirl fems. only got 1 ww to pop an all 4 supergirls to pop. have 6 of each left. going to finishthe room today and get them on there. will post pics later.

just trying to figure this game out.

What method u use for germination? I had one of my WW's I had to help shed it's shell, 5/5 popped 1 was male so far, got one being tight with her shit not lettin me see pubes yet if it ends up being 4/5 females, i won't even bother ordering fem seeds, cause thats a real good ratio on it's own.

i germed them in clear dixie cups using fox farm light warrior. the bagseed i germed this way popped all 16 seeds I germed. I soaked them in water with a slight trace of superthrive. the beans were very small and I had to help the ww out also. i had to break the other seeds shells also but they wouldn't pop. these were the second shipment from nirvana as the first never showed. 1 of the ww seeds was dented and i figured it wouldn't hatch. that was he only one dented. the game me 10 freebies also. the supergirl were strong and popped quick. when i germ the other ww, i will use the paper towel and te rockwool. I also have Whit russian, ak47, bluecheese fems, and a few freebies on deck.

I just dropped mine in the rockwool and kept an eye on em every 8 hrs. break bread on some of them freebies, lol

going to have to wait on most of these. i hve lots of seeds. the only ones i didn't receive were jack herrer from doc. got confiscated by our homeland security. i realy wanted those bad boys also. will have to get them down the road. as you can see, i ave plenty.



this is my nirvana white widow. only 1 in 4 popped.



these are the first 5, looking good and starting to smell a little.



looks good, except for the wilting, too much nutes.





the plan is to flwer the ones in the smaller pots after a foot tall or so.
next, going to move the others in the larer pots in my new veg room.







wiring up electrical tomorrow and put up my ho t5 lamp. almost done, will have the others in hee by sunday.

nice job, da kine. thanks for that note about nirvona seeds. i germed 6 using the paper towel and not one broke throught. i have used this method about 4 times before and most poped. must be the seed. gonna try some mango seeds i just got from sensibleseeds. wish me luck.

i love ganja

Those seeds look so good. Way better then the ones I started with, which were given to me so I guess I can't complain.
