Being my first grow, my aim is to keep it simple until i figure out the best method for my madness. After all the searching through RIU ive decided to base my first grow on the BUDS FOR LESS book. I know i might(probably) not get a great yield because of no added nutes, but it doesnt hurt to try...and if it goes good itll save me a few $. My overall goal is a small perpetual indoor garden producing its goodness @ every 2 months. I went with less expensive and easy growing seeds for my first grow because i really dont want to be too disappointed the first go round.
SETUP:
GROWING AREA... 4x6x8 closet
LIGHTS...cfl's
veg...ea. plant has at least 75watts, 5k and 65k
flw...ea. will have at least 100watts, 27k
VENTS...atm have 3 fans with door open( ceiling fan in room, small fan pointed at ceiling in closet to circulate, and oscillating fan on plants). I bought cheap "fart fan" to install in the ceiling so i can close the door for flowering(and so i can sleep better) which i will eventually need to attach a filter to or come up with some other way to control the fragrances. At night i put the small fan outside the closet blowing air under door into room and barely shut the door so heat can escape.
daytime temps: 82-85f
nighttime temps: 80f
Soil...MG potting soil with continuous release ferts(low ph)
H2O...all water is ph'd to give me an overall H2O/soil ph of @ 6.3
germ'd in 6.3
first 7 days...7.2
remaining...6.8
Here are my kids at 8 days of age......

within the week i will be turning the underneath portion of the bench into the veg space. Im gonna go with cfl bulbs for time being but will eventually get a 4' HO T-5 to go under there. and i imagine in the future i'll want to go with an HPS...but not sure of the wattage.
Thanks for checking out my grow and i am definately open to advice or suggestions.....will post back soon....peace!![Joint :joint: :joint:](/styles/smilies/joint.gif)
