OK, so... Considering the recent prices / crap quality of the weed i decided to grow some of my own.
I got some Dutch Passion feminised Durban Poison (100% sativa) seeds and i'm currently vegging them in temporary cardboard growbox under 3 23w 6500k CFLs:
Seeds were germinated in paper towel for 2 days and transplanted to 1 liter (1/4 gallon) cups. Soil is some standard mix with PH around 6 - 6.5 and some vermiculite in it. This is day 5 counting from putting seeds in paper towel:
So far i'm keeping plants under 24/0 some 10cm from CFLs. Avg temp about 25C / 77F. This is yesterday, day 13. They seem to be doing fine:
Soon i will be moving them into a proper 2 part/story grow room. Stacked one above other. Room size is 80x80cm (7 square feet). 1 part for veg / mothers under current 6500k CFLs (3-4k lumens per sq feet) and and other for flowering under 400W HPS Sylvania Grolux 55k lumens 2050k. That will give me almost 8000 lumens per square feet.
Anything wrong with this plan/setup?
Also... Just started with nutes. Found some NPK 6-3-6+ME liquid nutes in local gardening store. I diluted it to almost 1-0.5-1 but i'm using this solution on every watering every second day. Which brings me to my other question: Is it ok to keep my nutrient solution mix stay too long or should i mix it every time i plan to use it? I'm not using distilled water so i'm wondering what effect all the dissolved stuff in it has been doing to nutrient compuonds. And the light, as it is in transparent/green 2 liter plastic beer bottle I noticed some globules forming in it. But i shake it before use and then it seems more homogenous.
Anyway... Got tired of typing. This is it so far. Updates with new pics soon...
