Hay folks thought that would get your attention. ![Laughing :lol: :lol:](/styles/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
This is my first ever indoor grow and I thought i'd post some pics and details of whats happening here.
I'm on my first week so far running a Low budget/Low Skill closet NFT system with just one baby at the moment under an HID lamp and reflector.
I know that it is total over kill to use a 400 watt lamp for one baby plant but I do intend to plant two more but was scared to kill the plants right at the first stage so I thought i'd get germination out the way with one seed first.
My closet is about 4 feet by 2 feet by 3 feet. The main thing I am struggling with at the moment is keeping the temps low. I have got my bedroom window open and a fan sucking air in from the slightly open door but it's quite chilly outside so I am getting a pretty steady temp of 24°C during the day but at night if I have to shut my window and keep the closet door almost totally closed the temps can run up to 32°C and thats with the fans on full blast.
I don't currently have any holes in the closet at the moment but I need to move it tomorrow so will try and put some holes for the fans in the back even if its a bit holy to start with.
As I said i'm currently on week 1; I germinated the seed on Friday 26th Feb using the paper towel method. It sprouted on Monday 1st Feb and Today I took these two photos.
How do you think it looks? I know the pics arent great as they are taken from my iPhone but I cant find my digi cam at the moment.
I germinated the seed in water only then moved it to a rockwool mini cube and then to a 3 inch rockwool cube once the roots showed have been keeping it watered with a half strength nutrient solution of formulex in the NFT system.
How often should I change the nutrient solution? it started with 15litres of water in it and doesn't seem to have dropped very much.
Geese thats a lot of typing.
Anyways What do you think?
She( Feminised seeds so lets hope) has two big leafs and two new ones just coming in.![Razz :-P :-P](/styles/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
