Hey all,
First of all the only reason I am doing this journal is to obtain advice and (constructive) criticism. I am not trying to boast any kind of clever set-up or method to obtain HUGE yields (although that would be very nice). So I welcome your comments
With that here's my setup (pics will come as soon as seeds emerge from soil):-
- I used 12 hour soak then paper towel method beginning at 3pm thursday nov 3rd
- Tap root visible on all four by Saturday night.
- put 3 in 4inch deep 2x2" pots, one in a solo cup cut down and slits in the bottom.
- I am using whitney farms seed starter mix (50%) and a local nursery's organic potting soil (50%). The seed starter is sphagnum moss and pearlite mix.
- I have them set in a rubbermaid tote with a cpu fan venting air through a hole in the lid, each with a 26 watt daylight cfl (these are sadly only 5000k I have my mogul adapters on the way and when they arrive I am going to get 4 65 watt 6500k bulbs form Lowes).
I plan to take the strongest two and scrog them in a home made box (still under construction).
The box will be 2'x2' floor space and 4' tall. I have made a frame out of 2x2 boards which raises the floor of the cabinet by 2' allowing airflow underneath from two sides. The floor will be the perforated mdf with holes drilled at 1" intervals (passive intake). I will be using clamp lamps on the frame, which will be inside the box. Screen will be at around the 2' mark. 120mm cpu fans (prolly 3) will vent air out of the top of the cabinet, and I am going to rig some kind of clamp fan to circulate air inside the cab and eventually on the canopy of the scrog.
I will be using an organic kelp based soil booster in my water regime, and when I transplant they will go into Fox Farms Ocean. I plan on using stronger nutes only as the plant tells me to.
Thats about it, pics of the cabinet when its done and as soon as I get some above soil action I will post pics of the ladies too.
wish me luck
