:joint: :mrgreen: Day 1: GERMINATION :joint: :mrgreen:


After spending quite a large amount of money in my terms i've finally acheived what I think could quite successfully grow a couple of lowryders (for those who dont know: The lowryder is an autoflowering-dwarf which under correct conditions can go from seed to harvest in 9 weeks)

The strain i'm more difinitively growing is the Lowryder x Santa Maria

This is the start of my grow, i'm germinating the seeds as I write this, i've got a 400W High Pressure Sodium Bulb/Hood/Ballast with a fan to cool the lamp and grow

Here's my setup :)

Here's what it looks like from the outside of my closet(wardrobe) it still needs sealing cus all the light comes through the plastic windows
£50 wardrobe


Here's with the door open, it's pretty bright but it's definately concealable
£75 Hood Ballast Bulb


Here's a picture of the fan which i've got circulating, the wooden wall on the left of the fan is going to have a vent gap with an exhaust fan leaving the wardrobe (sorting that tomorrow)
£15 Fan


Once again it's not the greatest camera in the world but this is where I want my vent for exhaust
£5 Vent


This is a closeup of my pots, i'm using jiffy plugs to germinate them and then putting them in this clean-clay medium, i've washed it and everything so it's sterile
£5 Clay Pebbles


This is the reserviour, it's a hydro setup ofc, this is the pump line leading out of the reserviour upto the bottom of the pots
£135 Hydropod two-pot set


Here's a list of just some of the things i've bought to fulfill this hobby:
£50 Ikea Wardrobe
£135 Hydropod Two Pod Set
£5 B&Q Vent
£5 Desktop Fan
£5 4 Gang Contactor Relay
£18 Digital Timer
£75 400W HPS Hood Ballast and Bulb

£45 Seeds: Lowryder x Santa Maria Cross


This sum of money


Anyway this is
Day 1: GERMINATION

Mr I Can Do That For Half
I know this is an old gernal but did you find out that the 400 watt hps light on seedlings was a bad idea as it took much light too soon next grow try 10 buck florescent 48" shop light
