Lets hope third time is a charm.ive got 2 runs under my belt both of which were pretty sad.first one i let them get way too big for the amount of CFLS,not enough lights at all and using the wrong fertilizer.2nd time was a tiny box 12"x12" and 18" tall with 247 actual watts of flowering cfls but didnt have room to let them grow out too big.both grows had been bagseeds of unkown stuff i would get when i couldnt get any of the best shit.so this round im making some big changes and hoping for a good harvest,so far my record is 10 grams,i can say that those 10 grams were covered in trichs and was really good shit i was very happy with the quality.so my new plan starts with a sterilite 2 shelf cabinet it is plastic which makes it light and easy to cut holes for fans and cords and it was cheap ($45) at walmart.i covered the entire inside with mylar and cut the middle section of one of the shelves and strung up a net for scrog.my light is on its way and should be here in a week,after many weeks of looking for a led panel that wouldnt break the bank but would still give me a decent harvest so instead i went with the apollo horticulture gl60led it claims to draw 109 actual watts and i got it for $110 so i figured its worth a try(dont talk shit about my choice of light,i dont have the extra cash right now to pay a small fortune on lights for a hobby) im sure eventually i will change to some other light but as of now ill see what i can do this one.i plan on using fox farms nutrients which i used my last grow,this time i plan on adding the big bloom,i used grow big and tiger bloom last time,not sure on the medium yet,i do plan on using a potting mix of some kind,last round i used the cheapest potting soil i could find which was $1 for a big bag. Ive installed 3 120mm computer fans (2 exhaust and 1 intake) and will also be mounting my 6" desk fan inside under the intake fan to push the fresh air down to the plants.im going to be ordering some fem seeds from one of a few sites ive looked through just have to pick some strains.i want to do a few different strains but im going to be growing them 1 or 2 at a time i havent decided which yet but probably 2.last time i went with distilled water but this time im thinking about using the drinking water which is just RO water.this grow wont be starting for atleast a couple weeks as i am buying everything little by little with each paycheck and all thats left to get started is the light(on its way) seeds,medium then its grow time.
