Hey guys I am somewhat of a newbie and this is my first grow, vie been panning it for a while and finally after getting all my lights, seeds, and grow closet ready I have got it started. So here are the basics and what has happened so far
Soil- started with miracle-gro before I found a hydro store and since switched to dr.earths organic potting soil, starting in biodegradable starter pots.
Seeds - roughly 20 white widow seeds, already had 14 pop and have planted them, started 5 experimental seeds and 3 medijuana seeds germinating yesterday.
Grow room - I am growing in an oddly shaped closet with 9 ft ceilings and is roughly 25sq ft on the floor, I know its a small space for this many plants but I'm hopeful. Both the floor and walls are cover with reflective insulation, and right now I only have one fan, will add another, but the temperature stays around 78-80 with the humidity lower than I want, around 37. Will increase with a humidifier soon.
Lighting - as of now I have two grow ufos from sunshine systems, and three glow panel 45's with the glow panels on the side as more of supplemental lighting. I also I'll add bloom led bulbs during the flowering stage and if needed will add cfl's to veg. The lights are also running on 18/6 time and the led ufo that is over the dome is about a foot from the plants right now.
I have nutes that I just bought that were recommended highly as well as using compost tea to water occassionally and will start using root development nutrients next watering.
Now here is where I will inform you of what I've already messed up on, first I was using an awful container to sprout which caused them to dry out and then I would have to water more so I'm fairly sure that I will lose about half of the white widows due to too much shock. I'm also afraid that some have been overwatered and will not sprout, but its only been about 4 or 5 days so they are still not dead for sure yet. So far I have had two sprout one has yet to shed its seed casing and the other had the beginning of its leaves fried and now is rejuvenating, but looks like it is doing ok.
Now I have a proper humidity dome with proper soil and nutrients, and I am also starting to develop patience, and finally got time to start this thread so hopefully you guys will be happy to help. I I'll be adding photos tonight and will update the thread every other day if possible, with photos once to twice a week depending on grow. So thanks for reading guys and I hope this goes well!
