Hey guys, been readin up for a while and decided to grow something small-scale in a side of my closet. Closet is 7ft tall x 2 ft deep x 30 inches wide.

Germing 6 OG Kush seeds right now, started at 12:00 this afternoon.

I figure I'll grow 2 plants total, and will just throw out the smaller ones as I lose space.

Easy to read list:

  • HTGsupply Mh/hps grow light 400 Watts
  • Fox Farms nutrient pack
  • Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil
  • Big air fan and small fan for ventilation
  • Ph Test Kit and PH up / PH down
  • Black comforter to block light in closet (it gets damn bright!!!)

Got my light, nutrients, and ph test kit from htgsupply, they were really quick with shipping.

Here's the pics:

View of pots (are these good size to start??)




Big fan blowing for circulation


outer view from far of grow area


Will this size pot work to start with (I'm assuming its fine)


Figure I'll repot into these bigger ones eventually..

Ph Test Kit


Sorry bout the pic quality just used my cell phone!

Do I need perlite or can fox farms ocean forest work well by itself?


Hope everything goes well, any suggestions/ input is greatly appreciated!! I am pretty stoked on this :) !! :joint: :peace:

looks ok to start with....I would lower that light a little...and im not the biggest fan of fox farms anymore...I use general hydroponics flora nova and some other additives..

update: day 2 after germination, and we have 5/5 sprouters!! The random bagseed that I planted before the OG Kush is a little further along, because we were germinating them first. i have them on 18/6 right now. it gets a little hot at around 82 but i'm getting another fan soon.

been watering about 2-3 times a day just because the light is drying out the soil.

any comments or suggestions welcome. thanks guys
