Hi!
Growing for the first time.. or atleast growing in a semi-legit way. I am looking to update this thread throughout the whole process, and would love criticism and suggestions.
Currently, my setup is as the pictures look. The lights are
http://www.amazon.com/Ecosmart-Equivilant-Compact-Flourescent-Watts/dp/B0043NOX08 these lights. I am using two right now but will be using 4. The soil is scotts garden soil and moisture control miracle grow potting soil. I have 6 plants that have just been put in the solo cups with a hole in the bottom of each. I will be taking 2 and putting them in a bigger pot and then taking the best one from those two and put it into one larger pot and only have one in that trash can. I have ordered some things and they should be here within a week. I plan to have that lid closed and have a ventilation system instead of the large fan that you currently see. It is only open until I get my supplies.
I am using just bagseeds that I have saved over the years... I am not sure what kind they will be. A lot of them came from mid grade but I know I have put good ones in to the mix so I am not sure at all what I will get. Please critique and suggest!!!!!
These are the things I have coming to me
Advanced Nutrients Dr. Hornby's Big Bud Powder, 130 g
not sure how to use this yet....
Springfield 91551 Digital Humidity and Temperature Monitor
use this to monitor everything
pH Control Kit - General Hydroponics
will use this to control the ph.
Thermaltake Mobile Fan II External USB Cooling Fan - Us
I plan to use the fan on top and a hole at bottom to get air flow.
Lasko 6-Inch 2-SPEED White Clip Fan
this will help with cooling
Miracle-Gro Perlite - 8 Quart
I will mix this in when I get it
Stanley 31200 TimerMax Indoor Weekly Digital Timer, White
will use this for setting a schedule up.. any suggestions?
2x Leviton 128-00I Twin Light Outlet Socket Adapter, Ivory
I will be taking off those metal around the lights and using these and using all 4 of the lights I bought instead of just the two I have right now
I plan on getting the best yield possible. I also want to grow this fast, short, and plump. All suggestions would be great!!!!! I will be updating the entire time.
I have heard something in the past 3 days that I did not know. You can take a mid-grade seed, and make it into a headie plant by growing it the correct way. I can't believe I have never heard that in my life.
I have done really silly things in the past when I have "attempted" to grow but I was younger and it wasn't "serious." I really am trying to make this one work. Along with my trip to home depot and the online order I just purchased I have spent $160. Other than that I have spent hours looking at the forums and years getting seeds... not that that was hard .lol... that was the fun part!!!

Added 4 more. Did not want to waste the ones that germ'd.
Also, I think I am going to grab a 6500k bulb for vegetation purposes. Suggestions? I have read that you can use both 6500k and 2700k at the same time and just take away the 6500k bulb when flowering. Should I use all 4 2700k cfls, and one 6500k bulb? Two 2700k on both side and one 6500k on top?
