Hey Everybody,
I recently set up my closet grow room in an unused one in my basement. I am an avid pot smoker and decided I've had enough with paying high prices to people who only care about profit and not about quality, so I decided as many of you to grow my own.
I have been reading the likes of Jorge and Ed Rosenthal for aboutt he last month and feel fairly sufficient in my knowledge, however I am humbled by the many of you who have begun this wonderful hobby and await your input and knowledge at any chance I can get. Anyone who is willing to lend a helping comment or hand will be appreciated to no end.
I am growing in a 3 X 2.5 closet with a fairly roomy ceiling and am using a
430w Son Agro pretty much the entire time.
I installed a fairly large bathroom fan, not sure how many CFM's but I got it for free. Have had to make many adjustments to doora nd setup as its too hot to close the door, getting up to 32 before the adjustments, and now to about 29 after them. I am however looking for a much more operation fan that can point upwards and swivel when needed, (be surprised how many salespeople don't know what that is, unreal). Witht he door open and the lights and fan on its 26.6 which I'm told isn't too bad. Im working also on a more practical setup than on a chair and box, Im looking to grab some plastic milk crates to help drainage and airflow from below, again am searchin to no avail.
I used peat pods to germinate my seedllings and have been giving them a little water each day, no real schedule yet, just keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged.
My plants have been sprouted for about 8 days now, and seem healthy enough, however they seem to have growing a little slow lately so I am going to transplant them tonight just before bed time, into a 1 gallon pot.
I am using a mix of
- 80% peat
-5% perlite
-10% vermiculite
-5% dolomite
(Any problems please let me know)
I've kept a very close eye on my little girls and have tried to make any change in temp while adjusting very short and brief. I have checked water levels almost every hour.
I'm using an 18/6 hour lgiht schedule and will water every other day after transplant.
I hope i didn't forget to include anything but any questions or comments, please feel free.
Cheers, Captain Green
