ATLDirect's first grow journal

Hey everybody, I've been lurking on this site for a short while and I've started my very own first grow. I'm starting with some bag seed that I've collected over the past couple of months and I've set myself up with a DIY DWC and 250 watt digital ballast that I'll be using to switch between a MH and HPS bulb. I'm using the little washing machine room in my apartment as a grow room, it has conveniently all white interior and shelves to hold supplies and hand the light from. Before I fired up the MH bulb the room stayed a constant 70 F and 50% humidity, afterwards the temperature climbed to ~90 F and humidity fell to 40%. I set up a small swamp cooler and dropped the temp to the mid 80s and raised the humidity back to 50%. Here are some pictures.

Here is a picture of 6 sprouts



Here are my favorite 4 sprouts installed into my DWC


The two sprouts in the middle fell over so I made them little crutches out of twist ties, also you can see the swamp cooler


I'm not a big forum user so I don't know if I've inserted the above images correctly. Hopefully there are three pictures and everyone can see them.

I plan to try can keep this journal up to date so that others can follow my progress and learn from my mistakes and also so more knowledgeable growers can correct my mistakes before they become catastrophes.
