Hello everyone! Let me first say that I have been reading a lot on this site for the past month and finally decided to join! This is my very first grow and at first I wasn't going to do it but reading all of Mota's first grow and others I had to attempt! I'm a poor college student so this is also a "poor mans grow" as well. Im not in this grow just for the bud but for the experience and to see what works and what doesn't.
Ok, so as I said this is a poor mans grow and my first attempt.. so go easy on me. To start out with I have some seeds that I got from some weed called "popcorn" that I bought, they said this was a mid-grade. I went out and bought a dome light fixture and put in a 26w (100 real watt) CFL. I know this isn't much light but bear with me and read on.. They are going in my closet in my apartment so it is a pretty small space. In fact it is only about 2 ft wide.
Soil is by miracle grow called "Organic Choice" i don't think it has any ferts in it. I went ahead and picked up some Liquid Seaweed as well (but not using it yet). I just planted the seeds today and set up the closet. If the plants get to a certain point in growth, I know most likely I will need to buy more lights, but for now this dome CFL will have to work.
Here are some pics, it's a walk in closet, I couldn't get a pic of the whole closet cause it is too small to even fit into the camera frame. The light is hanging by some rope that is tied to a metal shelf in the closet.The light is going to stay on 24/0. Oh and I have already germinated the seeds before planting.
So ya there are the pics for now... School is about to start so i'll be real busy here but I will try and post pics and get ya'll updated on the progress
