Brainstorming the "Elf Op"

Okay, so this is the elf operation. Happening in about a month. This should give me time to receive all materials and plan/settup everything. I'll be putting in a lot of time every day until that beautiful day comes when I can start Stemseed's Elf Operation . I dont know why I'm calling it that...

Material I already have are as follows:

• floor fan
• masking tape (for labeling)
• compost (for outdoors)

Materials definitely on the way:

• master kush seeds
• ph pen
• digital camera

The basic game plan.
Alright, for this grow I'll be doing both indoor and outdoor grows. For this to happen I need to successfully germinate, veg, and clone a certain number of seeds. The vegged plants will go outside while the clones stay inside.

I was thinking about starting 8 seeds, vegging them under a 400w HPS until the last frost, which I believe is in mid march or early april (the whole while preparing the outside spot), and then taking clones from all of them. While the clones are rooting I'll be transplanting the 'mothers' to the great outdoors. So I'll have 8 outside and maybe 8 inside.

These are the things missing:

• the 400w hps - $130
• B.C. nutes - $60
• 3 bags foxfarm happy frog - $30
• 1" rockwool cubes - $10
• trey with dome - $8
• gel (2 ounce rootech) - $12
• pest sprey/solutions - $10
• 3 gallon pots - $10
• ph up and down - $10

So this all comes out to be about $270.
I'll have 2 seeds left just in case some freak accident happens.


The deadline I'm setting for myself to have everything together and rolling is February 1st.

The minimum supplies i need by Feb 1st is...
- 400w hps
- rockwool cubes
- pots
- foxfarm soil

followed closely by nutes
