Hi everyone,
i've visited many times this forum in the last months and i finally decided to start my first grow.
Using soil bought at garden dep and perlite.
I initially germinated 3 bagseeds (unknown strain but really tasty to smoke...) and put them under two 60w cfls.In the meanwhile i found a cheap led 450w at about 120$ (150 x3w but i consider it a 300w), few years ago i've tried a grow with cfl with poor results so...ok lets try led!
Few days later i've received 3 Red dwarf auto...even if i don't think a 60days auto dwarf could give a massive yield i started them anyway supposing it will be a wise choice when i'll find out that other 3 unknown plants are male lol.
So now the babies are in a 3x2x5 box, in a private terrace.
In a few days i'm impressed by the difference between cfl and led. Plants seem to grow at double speed. Maybe first time with cfl i was too newbie but besides the real speed i see no high temp (65/70 with lights off and 80/88 with lights on).
Maybe will use cfl to continue vegging the 3 bagseeds while flowering the RD (it says 60days from start to flower). I'll try to grow the 6plant together as far as possible but i think i'll leave the RDs alone...too space required for 3 flowering and 3 vegging. I'll eventually veg the unknown strains in another box with 50+60+60+85w cfls (just the time the 3 RD finish).
Ph has been between 6,5/7 since today,i fed only with home water except for the bigger one. Its first leaves were lighting in yellow so i started a little dose of fert (7-2-5) and plant became real greenish in a couple of days.
Some pics are attached below, feel free for comments or hints!
peace
