Hey everyone. This will be my first attempt at indoor growing. I feel like Ive read every thread on this message board and now Im set to use my knowledge(thanks to all your teachings)and put everything in action.
For the Basics
4 Feminized White widow Seeds
2.25' X 2.25' X 4' (so roughly 5 square feet)
Right now Im using between 6-8 26w 6500k CFL's (two are in reflectors)
2 7" Fans (Exhaust at the top left, intake at the bottom right)
The box is completely covered in mylar
Timer is set on 18/6
Right now im using MG potting soil, but after reading so many negatives Im going to go to the local nursery and buy their "special" mix"
The temp stays between 78-84 F with the highest reading at 86 and the lowest being 75. Humidity stays between 30-40
Using water that has a Ph of 6.5
...........................................................................................................
So I Germinated the four seeds in a wet paper towel between two plates and left it on top of a hot water bottle. Two split after 2 days and the other two split a day later.
The two that split first (Madison and Taylor) are now on their 5th day since sprouting. They both look pretty healthy to me. The other two however have been planted for about 6 days and have not sprouted. I poked around a little and it just seems like it wasnt taking to the soil. The taproot was around 1/2'' long, and didn't look like it was making an attempt to root.
Like I said, this is my first grow, so any suggestions or criticism will be appreciated. Thanks guys!
