Welcome to my first grow journal! And my first grow in a looooong time. To start off, I am using mystery seed found on wish . com for next to nothing, so any strain questions are a big idk.

Room stats:
-3x3x4.5 closet under the stairs
-Ventilation is a cheapo bathroom exhaust fan with a diy filter.
-Lighting is 4x "50watt" 6040-2525 110v blurples from wish with a cfl for spectrum variety. The blurps pull about 40 watts from the wall each. Cfl is 100w equivalent.
-DWC/Bubble bucket grow using distilled water and the gen hydro flora trio, adding calmag to the mix soon. Just finishing second full week of veg at 1/3 strength nutes, water under 450ppm
-1 air pump and stone for the bucket, will add a pump for reliability soon

Pics when I get home!

Im glad to see someone is watching I just prototyped up a box for my lights to mitigate some of the heat, that is my biggest issue in a tiny space. it stays about 83-87 in the top area, roots stay in the mid low to 70's. And I dont know about cleanliness lol, its a mess under the stairs.

I'll keep the updates going just for you!

Bro great ingenuity!
Thank you, I'm gonna fab one with thin plywood next. I built the LEds as removable modules (with a little soldering) so I cam adjust total wattage in 40w increments and change out light types. thinking about adding two 40w 3500k warm whites for flowering

I'm thinking about pushing into flower a bit early. I know this would reduce yield but I'm not too worried about that. Any potential issues if I do?

So I've been lst-ing them away from each other and today have tied and tucked a few of the fan leaves, no need to prune just yet. I think I see signs of a genital nature as well, but will hold off on speculation until they're a bit more developed (i think at least one is a girl.. but no speculatin')

I'm also making headway on a new and improved light box that will be an led/cfl combo with extraction fan and carbon filter attached. I finished wiring the cfl sockets and made a reflector with chicken wire and aluminum tape

Let it be known, on this day the grow has been flipped. With all the flower stretch I see around here I don't want to run out of room in my small space
