Hey all, this is my first post here. I've been reading the forums for quite some time now, and they've been a valuable resource, so id lik to share my first grow here.
I originally planned to do this with lowryders. I bought a pack of 10 seeds. All germinated, only 1 sprouted, and then it stopped growing.. Back to the drawing board. Interesting note... when i threw away the one sprout (1 week old), it stunk when it was rubbed.. prety surprising considering the age.
I then ordered a pack of NL99 (Northern Lights x C99 by Joey Weed), manually cracked them, and threw them in moist paper towel and put them somewhere warm (~83-89f). Within 10 hours, roots had shown, and after 24 hours, they went into soil. I guess they like to keep warm.
Setup:
Lights
The lights I’m using for this are a Longstar 105w, 5000k daylight spectrum CFL grow light, and a Fresh2 Titanium 23 watt, 2300k CFL. The second bulb comes coated with titanium dioxide which ionizes when the bulb is on and removes smell.
Soil & Nutrients
The soil is a store bought organic mix made of hummus, peat moss, compost, and pearlite. I plan to start using this 15-30-15 fertilizer i have at 1/4 strength about 2-3 weeks in.
Box
Here’s the grow box. It’s built inside a full tower ATX case that measures 24” tall. Two computer fans are used for circulation, with the exhaust vented through the hood / reflector in order to immediately remove heat from the case. The vent duct is the kind that easily stretches and compresses in order to accommodate the light being moved up as the plants grow. Its lined with...yes.. foil. This will be upgraded in round two
