This was a spontaneous grow, so it was kind of thrown together haphazardly. We had some bag seeds sitting around, so we decided to wrap them in a damp paper towel. next thing i know we're out buying hundreds of dollars worth of shit.
Anyways, we're growing in somewhat of a constrictive place. I'm not sure of the actual measurements, but it's small. on the plus side there's some room to expand vertically. we decided to go with a 400w MH for veg, and will swap it out with a HPS when the time comes to flower. we're using a reflector of the El Cheapo variety. To ventilate, we have a 6" induction fan rated at 300cfm routed into the attic. which is then dumped out beneath the attic exhaust fan. we also have a small 3-speed fan to help stimulate strong stalk growth and help maintain temps.
When we first started out we were using some b.s. potting soil just to hold us over. we just transplated all but a few into some Fox Farm Ocean forest two days ago. The older ones are still lacking a little vigor, but we're hoping that will turn around. Here are two of the older ones just a day after being transplated into FFOF;
Here you can see the one day difference between FFOF and the el cheapo potting soil. both were started at the same time;
The fan is suspended using bungees to help reduce noise due to vibration. It also allows the height to be adjusted somewhat.
We decided to start topping a little to help the smaller ones to catch up. If these do turn out to be female i will just make the topped plants the center of the canopy.
