Hi guys, thanks for stopping by my journal.. 
This is going to be my first grow I've read alot around this forum for a long time, checked out a load of journals, also on youtube but that is all the experience i have so be patient, i am still learning A LOT!
In this journal i'm going to try and document my first grow. I have limited space, and a limited money-supply, so thats the main-factors of this grow. Cheap and small.
I've read alot around this forum for a long time, checked out a load of journals, also on youtube but that is all the experience i have.
Why am i doing this?: Well, me and my girlfriend live in a one bedroom apartment, i am the only one making money at the moment, So paying for the amount we both smoke, is just super super hard. Also the quality we get here is practically dirt.. And then it costs a fortune as well! So yeah, we've had it!
Time to grow our own, and self supply! (hopefully)
The sizes are: 55x55cm length/depth, aproximately 180cm tall
What i've done so far:
Cut a whole for the air intake:
Cut a whole for the air outtake (the picture is sideways i dont know why, but the whole is in the loft of the closet, not the wall)
Then i made an activated carbon filter using a tobaccocan, activated carbon, black duct tape and a pantyhose (thanks girlfriend :-D) and a 12V Pc-fan. (usb-powered) (probably adding 1 more for efficiency, later on)
And heres the whole closet after i "lightproofed" it, using the black duct tape. Best i could do with my budget, hope it holds close! (this picture is also sideways for an unknown reason)
Before:
After:
Here i have made the air intake, build with black duct tape, some cardboard and a 12V pc-fan (usb powered)
Hygrothermometer (hopefully its still working right!)
Powersupply:
The storage/drying room: (got a few buds left in there)
Mars II 400W 80x5w by TopLED:
This is my DIY (Do it yourself) closet growroom. What is consists of so far:
Lights: 1x Mars II 80x5w diodes 400W by TopLED
Inline Air: Homemade shaft, with 1x 12V PC-fan
Outline Air: Homemade carbon filter, with 2x 12V PC-fans
Temps: 20-24 degrees celcius
RH: 30-45%
Pots: 4x 11 Liter pots
A mechanical timer: x 1
pH testkit: Only for Liquid
I've got a hygrothermometer in there as well, but i dropped it the day i recieved it, so im not quite sure weather its working 100% accurately anymore... I think i'll have to buy a new one :/
What i'm planning to buy:
Soil: Biobizz Lightmix (anyone tried this?)
Ferts: Biobizz Grow and Biobizz Bloom (anyone tried this?)
Seeds: still unsure about this one
Circulation: Clipfan, not sure which one, but a cheap one atleast, that doesnt take up much space.
I will add strain info and such, as soon as i've figured out what im gonna be growing!
Only thing i know so far is im probably going with autoflowers.
The plan:
My plan so far, is to have 4 autoflowering strains running, i will most likely LST all of them to try and keep them on the ground and even out the budsites but we will see what happens. Its all depending on the space.
I'm thinking about using a slightly pre-fertilised light soil-mix and Biobizz Grow + Biobizz Bloom ferts for this grow. I'm not so updated on fertilisers and such, so i'll be needing alot of guidance when that time comes
A few pics of how its gonna look when i get soil/seeds home:
So yeah, thanks for checking my journal out every1, hopefully i can get alot of helpful advice from all of you super hardcore growers out there!
