Hi all.
1st Time Simple Stealth Cabinet Grow.
Space:
Roughly 3ft tall x 1ft wide/deep cab.
Mylar(Emergency Blanket) wrapped with 3M foil tape.
Passive intake, Bathroom/House fan exhaust.
Carbon filter in exhaust fan with option of routing exhaust outside via ducting through a window.
Temp range is 25-30C
Humidity 40-60%
Light:
3x 23watt 5000k CFL
1x 30watt 2700k CFL
18/6 Light Cycle
Plant:
Bagseed (came from good purp stuff.. hoping it's good)
Notes & Dates:
10/10 - Germinated
10/13 - Planted
10/15 - Sprouted
10/17 - 24/0 to 18/6 Light Cycle
10/19 - Swapped 1 5000k for a 2700k CFL
Going to document this as best I can. Lots of words will be involved. You've been warned.
Decided I wanted to try my hand at growing. I've never done anything like this before so it might fail miserably, or it might turn out spectacular. Everything I've used aside from the bathroom house fan I had lying around the house, so I've invested a whopping $18+3ish hours into this so far. Even if it turns out not being female I think I'll still grow it out just for the experience, until I come across another seed from a good bag. If all else fails I figure I can sell this setup locally to someone for more than I put into it.
My housemates are all smell friendly, and smoke faaaar more than I do. I'm simply keeping it stealth to see if I can do it undetected. Right now the exhaust airflow is actually keeping my room nice and warm, which will come in handy during winter. I'm a little concerned about the mildly warm temps and dry air, however the plant seems fine and the airflow is solid. I need to add a small computer fan to put some simulated wind directly on the plant soon also. I also need to improve the light leak a little bit, I need ideas on how to prevent light from escaping through the cracks in the door area as well as make some kind of curtain or something for blocking the light from the passive intakes down on the bottom. Also need to invest in a better thermometer. Might end up painting the outside of the cabinet black also.
I'm also trying to keep this as simple as possible. Light, soil, water. My tap water is decent enough to where if I let it sit out for a day or two it balances the ph nicely, and friends have had good luck with the brand/type soil I have for their (much larger/professional) grows. I'm going to try and get away with no or very minimal nutrients, but that's all going to be played by ear. Keep it simple, stupid.
Any input on tips, stuff I'm doing wrong, or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Anyway enough with the essay. Onto the pictures.
About a week old!
