Hey, RIU community,
So, after some research done and lots of struggles with seeds I got my Easy Ryders on a shelve for more than a year and decided that time has finally come up to try growing these girls. I have been reading lots of journals, and came up to conclusion that I should start one myself to get your help and advice on few major problems I have now.
Seeds: The Joint Doctor's Easy Ryder 3 feminized seeds (Only 2 of them survived, last one didn't make it, because of some newbie mistakes and that was an alpha plant. )
Lighting: At the moment girls are under 2x 6500k 26w CFL, I know they need more, so I'm thinking about 125w CFL, but I'm not sure should I get dual spectrum or just add few more 6500k 26w for vegitate and get one 125w 2700k and few extra 26w 2700k for flowering?
Soil: I know I did a huge mistake, but since I had to rush it up, I used just random soil from garden. I will have to repot them anyway since they are in one pot now, so then I will add some normal soil, the prob is I'm from Eastern Europe and can't really get my hands on something like Fox Farm, so I will figure something out I guess.
The box: Since it'll be stealth grow I'll be using a box a built out of old cabinets the size is around 18'' x 22'' x 38'', so that'll be plenty of room for them. At the moment they are in so called shelter I had to build out of what I had around me, also I have prepared few PC fans, some active carbon for later carbon filter.
For now Girls are looking great. It's 12th day after they sprouted out of ground both are about 3" tall, also there's a fan making this gentle breeze for them, to strengthen the stem. Today moved lamps few inches a bit further since it was only about 2" above them, going to water them only tomorrow. I will post pics as soon as I'll be able to. I would like some advice on what to do with lamps and some solutions with soil if possible and have a green weekend guys
P.S. Sorry for my bad English.
