Hey everyone! My boyfriend & I started our first grow four weeks ago with some bagseeds and we wanted to post here about the progress, because we're really loving this process! It's such a learning experience and we're here to soak up as much as we can.
So about the grow... we're growing sorta stealth in two 68L Rubbermaid containers flipped onto each other, with a myriad of things rigged up to keep it lightproof. We've lined the inside with a combination of a car sun shield reflector and aluminum tape (trying to keep costs down but efficiency up). We have a great vacuum going with a passive air intake (elbow joint) at the bottom and a 4" computer fan at the top, with a carbon filter made with an ice cream container (lol) on top. We're growing in a soilless medium (the name escapes me) and are feeding organic; bat guano teas & Gaia Green 4-4-4 to top feed. Ferts are definitely something I need advice on, as I am far from an expert! We had a bit of a scare a few weeks ago with a few leaves dying off on one of the hopeful ladies - after a good flush the problem seems to have stopped progressing though (knock on wood).
We have them on an 18/6 schedule currently to give them some relief from the LST we started, which is actually going great. Temperatures have been in the 76-80 degree range with the lights on, humidity has been around 80. With the lights off, we're down to about 65 with humidity about the same at 80ish. We were having problems with the humidity being too low, so we ran our room humidifier for a day and it seems to have done the trick.
As mentioned before, we just started LST training yesterday. After a 6 hour rest and a day in the sun, there are a bunch of new grow sites starting up and we're really excited! Here are a few pics... we'll keep you posted on the progress! Cheers!
