Hello. This is my first journal ever and my second grow ever. I have some bagseed (which I'm told is Maui Wowie, but can't be sure) germinated and in solo cups currently. 1 sprouted this morning and the other 2, having been planted a day later, haven't broke soil. I also have some autoflower seeds on the way of the following strains:
Blue Diesel
Afghan Skunk
Big Cheese
All purchased from Attitude.
-----SETUP-----
-LIGHTS-:
2 13W 800 Lumen Spiral CFL's
2 23W 1350 Lumen Spiral CFL's
(Will be upgrading to 12 23W 1650 Lumen Spiral's in a couple weeks)
I also have 2 halogen floodlights hung about a foot and a half above the other lights to keep the closet warm, as it drops to the mid 60's at night otherwise. I may switch to a small heater, but I believe it would be far too much heat for the small space.
Also using double-layered camping blankets for reflectors. Will be upgrading to mylar eventually but I'm honestly not worried about it for now.
-SOIL-:
Strained local soil. Very soft and loamy once I removed all the large debris (what I mean by strained) with about 15% perlite added.
-NUTRIENTS-
Homemade organic fertilizer. Made mostly from grass trimmings, bush trimmings; and crushed chia seeds, which I noticed had a VERY high P and K value when I was looking at the nutrition facts. (Which I'm unsure if that's how that works, or if there's any additives that may affect plant growth or soil negatively, someone let me know please)
-SEEDS-
Bagseed [Maui Wowie?]
(Also waiting on the autoflowers listed above to arrive. Don't know where I'll put them yet. )
Anyway, I think that's all the info I need for now. Let me know if you wanna know anything else!
Seedling that sprouted this morning.
All 3 plants together, 2 on the right in the baggies are the newest.
My nutrient mix
The halogens I have above the CFL setup for heat. Anyone ever have problems with chilly grow rooms? Let me know of better solutions! Keep in mind the room is tiny, so electric heaters probably aren't the best option for the plants.
ALSO, I have another seed germing currently that will be planted tonight, so there will more than likely be 4 plants next time I post pics.
But anyway, here are some pictures of my first grow for everyone to look at since most of these beginning stage pictures are pretty boring to look at quite frankly.
