Well this will be my first grow ever. I am a medical marijuana patient and have been planning my grow for about 2-3 months. I am actually building a 6x6x6 1/2 room. It was going to be started/finished last night but had family emergency and couldn't get to it.
But I will be growing under a 600 watt MH conversion bulb for Veg and changing it to a HPS to flower. I have a 6 inch 424cfm inline fan for the room for ventilation and helping with heat because i dont have a cool tube, just a reflector. I will be using Fox Farm Happy Frog Soil along with their Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, and Big Bloom nutes. I will be planting in 3 gallon buckets this grow, may try bubbleponics next. The strain I have is called Blue Julie Ann, the mother was a Blueberry x Cindy99 and the father was a Jedi. so I have pretty high expectations They are not feminized or anything so I may end up with one female i keep in veg for a while longer to cut clones to get 4-5 good plants, but we will see. (I have some pics of my stuff that I will put up later, left camera at friends.)
7.24.10 -I took 4 seeds and put them in a cup with some water to start the germination.
7.25.10- 2 of the seeds have sunk the other two are floating.
7.26.10- 3 of the seeds sunk, i tapped the top of the remaining floater and she sunk also .. (So Since my room is still under construction and we still have a month or so of good sunlight left, i am going to put these ladies outside for a week max till room is ok) I took 4 plastic red party cups, poked like 3 holes in the bottom of each, filled them up with some happy frog, got the soil very wet with some R.O. water that i PHed. I let those sit for about a half hour, then i got my seeds, at this point all of the seeds have cracked and on 3 i can see the taproot coming out, i plant them in the little red cups and I set them out in the sun..
so that is where I am at today I am pretty sure that all my research and planning will help me in the long run. I just cant wait for these ladies to start growing..
