hi evry 1 this is my first post .. been reading loads of threads on this site and have learnt loads so i thought i'd join and share my first experience of growing with you all. please leave your htoughts on what i'm doing.. thanx in advance..
ok i started with a wardrobe which measured
20 inches deep
30 inches wide
and 5 ft 6 inches tall
the first thing i did was buy an extractor and mounted it in the top if the wardrob . i also moved the wardbrobe in front of the chimney breast so that i could extract hot air out of the vent in the chimney breast.
extractor cost £50 pounds
i then mounted a 250 watt phillips son -t light bulb as close to the top as i could get it (light around £20 ballast around £60).
my next step wa to use blackout sheeting to stop light leaking in and out of the room .
i am growing 4 big buddah feminised blue cheese plants frmo seed. as soon as the seeds cracked i put them in peat discs and ten in to the propagator which i then put under 18-6 after 2 weeks i took the lid off the propagator . the seedlings were a bit leggy but i guess that was because they were reaching for the light so i made a shelf for them to get them closer. they seem fine now.
after another week of 18-6 i put them on 12-12 they were about 6-7 inches tall with 3 or 4 sets of leaves . ( i also cut the tops off a couple of days after i changed the cycle)
i am now at the stage where they are around nine inches tall and have been on 12/12 for a week. no signs of any flowers yet not that i can see anyway .
will post sum pictures when they wake up later
some of my bottom leaves are turning yellow is this a problem as new growht seems fine and sum of my leaves seeems to be hooking down as well .
my temp sometimes on very hot days get's to a bout 31.5 c

we all have to follow the rules. You should put in your title whether your grow is 'Hydro or Soil' and whether it's 'Indoor or Outdoor'. Dunno whether Ms Fox can do that for you but I'd give her a try first
