Hi,
Just checkin in.
Got my first grow in a closet, with 5 plants (bag seed).
2 of them about 3 weeks old, up to 5 inches 3 nodes.
3 at 2 weeks old with 2 nodes ready to transplant two of em, the third one is a runt.
Have had PH issues (working in that with a little vinegar water), heat issues with 8-27 watt cfls and two 45 watt cfls.The 45 watters are in the red spectrum and 7 of the 27 watters are blue, with one lonely 27 watter in red spectrum. I cut a hole in the wall and put in a vent a placed a fan against the vent to draw out the air, with another fan at the opposite end of the closet to push the air towards the vent fan. I also have a smaller fan hung next to my lights also pushing air toward the vent fan. This set-up lowered my temps from 100 degrees f to 88 f. Who knew that cfls got so hot!
I will be switching to a 600 watt hps for flower and will run the blue spectrum cfls with it to get a bit of uvb spectrum.
I am using soil with bat guano, worm castings, blood meal, bone meal, miracle grow, perlite, and a bit of epsom salts.
I have been feeding with a 1/4 strength solution of fish emulsion (yuk)
and liquid seaweed.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I've also done a soil nute test and found all of my levels to be good except for my high PH (7.7) and low phosphorus, I am guessing that the low phos. may not be too bad for veg. but disastrous for flower.
My closet size is 2' deep x 8' wide x 9' tall.
As soon as my babies go to flower I will begin construction on my new basement grow room, in about 5 to 7 weeks, with a clone/veg room and a separate flower room.
Pictures to come later!
