First grow ever. Decided to start this journal as a tool to help in future grows. I did a lot of research before my grow and decided on a DWC. From what i read, reward > risk. I have a walk-in closet that i would be using for the cultivation of my plants. I decided to purchase a grow tent over building my own grow box. I need something that could be taken down quickly just in case family or landlord end up coming
. I got my tent from ebay, $100 dollars shipped.
For my grow, i will be using a 400 W HID light, 4 inch exhaust fan & carbon filter, 18 Gallon tot box, GH MaxiGrow & MaxiBloom (Powder nuts). The seeds that i planted are Blue Mystique & Bubbleliciouse Auto-flowering Plants. Got this seeds from Nirvana seed bank. Awesome service and price. Received my seeds with in 10 days.
I started to germinate 6 seeds on 07/20/10 using the water cup method. I left the seeds soaking for about 18 hours. Most of the seeds sank to the bottom except for two of the Blue Mystique. I decided to transferred all of them into rockwool. Since this is my first grow, I was afraid that i would drown the seeds. I purchased one of those humidifier dooms, and put my seeds under two CFL tubes for 18/6. The Bubbleliciouse were the first one's to sprout. Two of the Blue Mystique sprouted a day later. The last of the Blue Mystique sprouted almost 3 days later. I thought it was a goner.
Its been a week, and my plants are doing great.
The only problem that i have is that i found one of the Blue Mystique slumpt over. I put those twisting things you get from a bread bag to hold it up. I started to use a fan in order to strength the stem. Hopefully it works. I also have heat issues. As you can see in my pic, temp. are high. This temp. only happened a couple times when i closed the closet door. My average temp. is around 84 F. I want to build one of those cool tubes, but new summer session started and need to buy books
.
Hopefully everything goes good. Any suggestions are welcomed.
Sorry about how they are organized.
