First Time Growing! Bag Seeds, Soil and CFL's. Closet stealth grow box.

:clap:

Hello RIU community!
Soooo... This is my growing journal. Lets start by saying this is the first time i ever attempted to grow some greenish :bigjoint:. The thing is that i live in Dominican Republic and weed here is kinda expensive here. Sometimes we get good weed but 40% of the times we get reg's.

What else can i say?... uhmmm.. Well this is my current growbox setup.

Im currently growing some bag seed from some middis i bought. At this time im growing 5 plants. All of them are in vegetative state with 24/0 light scheduale.
I just feed them drinking water, here in DR we buy the water in those blue 5 gallon things which are treated with a Reverse osmosis system or whatever idk... i just know we buy it at home for drinking. We cannot drink tap water here in DR because you can really get sick.

Im really thinking on going big once i get the tricks of the trade when it comes to growing. Ive been reading a lot, watching lots of videos, Read some books about growing and currently reading the Marijuana Growing bible by Greg Green.
So any suggestions that anyone in RIU has for me.... I would more than greatly appreciate it. :D :clap:

My Grow setup:
Qty Description
1 23W CFL 5000K
1 13L-13W-18H Box (i covered the inside with tin foil until i get mylar) :-P
1 PC Processor fan to take the air out (i dont know how much air it moves i
know it takes the hot air produced by the lamp.
1 Cup of water as an humidifier.

I know my setup is crappy but ill try to improve with time. I need to get money first.

My plants today are 1 week and 3 days old.

This are some pics of my babes from seedling until last night picture.

hi everyone...

Well so this is another entry in my grow journal. :)

Today i woke up to the bad news that 2 of my plants have the lower leafs turning a little bit yellow. What could it be? N deficiency? and well besides that, i think that everything is alright with them.

Well, today i bought some Organic soil, worm castings, and coco coir fiber. I already own a bag of perlite.

Im planning on transplanting tomorrow because im starting to believe that my plants are running out of space in the 12oz cup i have them in.

This is the recipe for my soil:
-3 parts of organic soil.
-1 part worm casting
-1 part coco coir
-2 parts perlite

Is this a good recipe? I figured it out myself. I believe it will hold a good ammount of water but will keep the soil from compacting due to the ammount of Perlite.
If you know a better recipe with the ingregients i have, i will greatly appreciate ir.

Also another thing, im able to get MG nutrients, and some locally made nutrients. I can get 10-15-10, 20-20-20... and some other i dont remember right now... Too high! :P :bigjoint:

I want my plant to look vigorous,grow big and healthy with a god green color :D what NKP ratios do you guys recommend for vegetative stage?

Any input will come in handy.

Best regards,
