Evening,
my seeds finally came in, northern light standard (non femmed).
2 days ago, i germed them using the papertowel/ziploc method, one already sprouted their radicle, so i threw her in a dixie cup under the lights.
So far, here is my plan.
8x 5000-5000k 60w equiv. cfl's for vegging, (4-5 weeks)
8-12x 2300-2700k cfls for flowering
soil medium:
MG African Violet Soil
Spaghnum Peat moss
Perlite
Using an old cupboard/dresser thing as the container, couple of light leaks, however some silicon+electrical tape(a lot) is helping, im waiting for the silicon to cure to see if i still have leaking issues...
This is a very stealth grow, my gf and I are doing it together, no one else in the house would know, i'm anxious to see how my usage of the cfl's will affect the utility bill, however with autumn here, a usage increase in utilities is to be expected, so we'll see.
Enough of the intro, here are my pics. lol.
Any pointers/advice/criticism; appreciated.
