Strain: Guerilla's Gusto non-feminized seeds
Lighting: 600W MH and HPS with dimmable digital ballast, Wing reflector + some natural light from skylight, going for 24/0 in the beginning since skylight complicates dark cycle. May move to basement for flowering.
Medium: No-name potting soil
Pot size: I have no plans to transplant, started each seed in 3-4 gallon pots, will go the whole way with those
Space: attic with skylight that opens a bit, (peak ceiling height is about 6'6" in a 4x4 area which is where I plan to limit the space to, large room that will need some sort of jerry-rigged enclosure for reflectivity, not going to splurge on a tent)
Ventilation: Currently none, skylight window opens about 25 degrees to allow air out/in and temp will be dropping soon (temperate climate), have a 16'' standing fan if things get too hot before summer ends, praying for no more heat waves as attic does get hot. Room is not enclosed...yet, so ballast guidelines about attics don't really apply.
Sensors: Currently none, will get something that measures temp. and humidity
Nutrients: will see how it goes, may end up using some veg, then flowering formula in the water, but apparently this strain doesn't really need any.
Main Challenges I foresee: Height (Outdoor Beast strain growing indoor), Temp (Attic is hottest part of house, no A/C, no good ways to actively vent.), Humidity (skylight will be open for ventilation, humidity falls in a couple of months)
Hello all, new to the forum and new to growing. This is my first time growing indoors for medical purposes, I thought I'd journal it since it's quite a unique grow and I will likely need some help/advice as I've only grown once before outside and the weed was mediocre (got me really high but it was super fluffy/light and was probably harvested too soon). This will be Guerilla's Gusto (a HARDY strain from Sensi Seeds, more indica than sativa from what I've read) grown indoors under HID (I had no choice on seeds, they were given to me by someone who went to Amsterdam)
I've got 10 seeds and 4 so far have popped open and are now in four 3.89G pots under the light waiting for first sprout, rest are still germing in paper towel (couple more have popped and I'm just waiting for a sign of a root). hope to sex quickly and end up with 4-5 ladies, If I get any more I'll stick the extras under cfls or possibly try outdoor start in august (I'm in a continental clim., first frost is late october, if that's extremely stupid let me know) My plan is to hopefully get as many as possible to sprout and fit them all under the light (in 3-4 gallon pots will be tough) until they're sexed, then toss males and concentrate on lighting and end up with 3-4 for flowering. I have no ventilation which kind of sucks but it's a large area and I figure a semi open skylight in the fall/winter will suck hot air out pretty well and I can probably position my decently powerful fan to blow air out the skylight, or push cooler air in if need be. I will update on temperature and humidity since these will be challenging to deal with.
I currently have no thermometer so I will update with Temp. asap. Light is currently about 80cm from the soil.

is the bestest.You have come to the right place my friend.Subbed. Thank you Jimmy6k
. My plan for a bit of LST should hopefully max out the grow area even if I only get 2-3 females. Anyone know if 10/10 being males is even possible? that would suck...
