Hi All!
This is going to be my first real grow/experiment. Any comments and/or suggestions are welcomed and appreciated!
I have spent the last couple days working on converting an old 4 drawer dresser into a grow cabinet. Here is the results:
Measurements:
36" H x 24" W x 18" D
Inside wrapped with mylar emergency blanket.
Lighting: (This is just what I found in a box on the shelf, looking at changing it up a bit)
(4) 14 watt "Soft White" 2700k 900 lumen cfl's
(2) 23 watt "Daylight" 5000k 1600 lumen cfl's
Ventilation:
(2) 120mm computer case fans
one of each for intake and exhaust (intake at bottom, exhaust at top - opposite sides)
(2) 80mm CPU heatsink fans
Starting:
2 bagseeds with paper towel method.
One of which has already popped. The other looks like it will soon.
3/16 @ 12 AM:
The first seed was placed in a Jiffy peat pellet and into the green house in the 'cabinet' and placed under 24/0 lighting.
I am starting to wonder if the light setup I have going is gonna be enough/right for veg. I was thinking of replacing the 14 watt-ers with the 23 watt daylights...any suggestions?
Still need to purchase a soil pH meter, temp. gauge with humidity readout, and ???
Hope the pics look ok...using my phone.
