Well this Moring After spending all night getting high and reading journal after journal, Fucking Love em! I decided I am aware I have some light leek issues, But I also have no real reflectors in the surrounds. So I set to my Cupboard door took it off and laid Aluminium foil pretty far up the door and stuck it down with thumbtacks. I made 2 layers. Lol. I also Attacked the 2 side walls with foil aswell. I used the Im just gonna say its Mylar from my old body board and sorta hung it from the clothes rack with fishing line and slid the bottom under the new red runoff reservoir. It will do until I can afford a grow tent. Looks real Home Job but was fun and Im sure its only going to prove more effective than leaving it as is..besides Im real keen on doing heaps of new things for trial and error.

DAY 5 14/01/2013

So I was paid early and well yesterday after 1st entry of my journal I went and purchased some more seeding soil, another 8W T5 Fluro, and planted 2, germinated seeds. Ill be happy with one female, but more the better. Atm Im relying on good old phone alarm to alert me of my light cycle change. I usually just bong on till midnight, where I turn the lights of, and awake come 6am to turn them back on..haha going to definitely purchase 2 timers today. I was also researching wattage for T5 fixtures, and noticed that no forum mentions the use of only 8W for vegging. Im a tad concerned but after checking my 2 girls this morning, I’ve notice some more growth of their first 2 mature leaves. So I’m pretty happy with their response. Having A light each for now is definitely proving more effective. I will most definitely install a small fan, and 1x 23W CFL cool warm this week.

Whilst I’m doing a Micro grow on Bagseed I wanted to share some of my opinion regarding Light cycles. More to the point, I’ve read a lot of forums on similar grows and a lot use 12/12 from seed, now this is just my gut but to me I wanted to Have my plants used to a routine light exposure of 18/6 but only enough for one week, so when I do change to 12/12 after 1 week, and Introduce a few red LED grow lights, My plant although small, will recognise the distinct change to exposure, and Hopefully flowring hormones will kick in more quickly.
Its my theory, lol, so im keen to either disprove it or prove it.
