Alrighty, if you've read my post in the introductions section you already have some history on the plant so I'll dive right in here.
I'm set up in a closet under a set of stairs so the ceiling gets lower as you get deeper but the area I've sectioned off is about 3 and a half feet wide by 4 feet deep and around 5 feet tall. All the walls and the floor have been painted white (for now if I get some $ I'll prolly grab a couple rolls of mylar) and I'm using a window shade as a "door" to the area (the old school vinyl ones that retract when you pull them down real quick). The shade is white vinyl, doesn't let light through and is reflective as hell.
I started a seed from a bag of mids sometime around new years (germinated right in soil).
Right now it's only under 4 23w cfl's (again $ will change that).
I'm in the process of making some coffee can reflectors and the hood hanging over the plant is one I made with the front grate off an oscilating floor fan. Made a perfect shaped frame to wrap in foil (I know..foil bad, mylar good but it will have to do for now). The grate also had a pre-centered hole in the middle to mount my fixture and hanging chains.
The plant is in a 5 gal. bucket with a potting soil/perlite mix.
I'm currently using a powdered hydro nutrient that you mix with a gallon of water and then further diluting it before application, so far the critter seems to love it. I also use the same nutrients only even further diluted for a foilage spray periodicaly.
I'm gonna post two of the pics I already posted in my intro post (hope thats ok) and some closer views of my baby and some shots of my set up so stay tuned...I have to scrape a few things and take some pictures.
Questions? Comments? Just want to bullshit alittle? fire away!
