Hi, I just started my first grow. I have a 24in x 45in closet, 6 seedlings (3 a week old, 3 2 days young), and about 600$. Im thinking 400w mh for vegging, and the same wattage hps for flower, but with a couple of flourescents on the sides. I am ordering the mh today (HTG), along with a roll of black & white polly, 25ft flexible ducting, 2 inline fans and seed starter kit (i have 5 fem. Auto seeds, just expirimenting with the bag seed). I made my own soil mix (after reading it on this site lol): 1 part worm castings; 2 parts soil (scott premium);1pt. Vermiculite; 1pt. Perlite; small handfull lime.
for now, the plants are under 5 cfls ( 3 42watt, 26watt; 3 in. away from leafs). btw, should I use the cfls for supl. Light when I get the mh? The 3 week-old seedling are looking ok, biggesy one just below 2in tall. 2 of the young-ins broke soil today too. Any help/advice/criticism will be GREATLY apriciated.
