Hi 420 Magazine -
I'm going to start a journal here in an effort to hold myself accountable to recording what it is I'm doing and learning along the way. The reason for diving into the hobby you ask? Oklahoma medical flower is far from consistent or reasonably priced. If I could produce a pound of top shelf flower every 3-4 months I'd be a very happy guy and save a significant amount of money. I like gadgets. I have always enjoyed gardening. I like science! Yeah.... I think that covers it.
Here's the set-up:
On 9/25 I placed 4 Magic Beans Genetics Dark Sky's and 4 Jinx Proof Legits in rapid rooters under the dome in a dark cabinet. All 8 germed in 24 hours
9/27 All germed seeds were moved from the rapid rooters to solo cups full of plain Happy Frog (rookie mistake, I didn't have the seeds deep enough in the rooters and the tap roots pushed them out).
9/29 All seeds have emerged from the soil. Only watering medium used so far is bottled spring water in a spray bottle. Temp under the dome in the tent is high 80's and RH is north of 70%. The light is about 3 feet away.
Thinking I'll likely keep them under the dome in the tent until I have a first set of leaves on every seedling......
I'm excited for this new hobby and journey and invite any and all feedback/advice/coaching.

Here's the set-up:
- 30"X60"X80" Tent
- 1 NanoLux 315 CMH
- Up-stairs spare room that is temp controlled and ranges from 68 at night to mid 70's during the day (not sure what it's going to do this winter)
- 4" exhaust setup that goes out a window that will be soon upgraded (trying to decide on fan and size)
- Soil (but open to recommendations) everything is in Happy Frog now in solo cups
- I was sold the equivalent of the GH Go Box + Ful-Power (Still wrapping my head around the notes and supliments)
