I previously created this thread in the JOURNAL section of the forum, but you could not subscribe. I've created this one so you could readily find and comment and offer suggestions. PLEASE!
This is my second attempt at growing. My first attempt I was going to use a single Waterfarm using a feminized Lowryder#2. That grow ended due heat issues and my inexperience. In addition, the Waterfarm was too much work for a neophyte
Since, I am growing three Joint Doctor's Lowryder#2 seeds I decided to use his Guide here http://www.cannabishq.com/forum/index.php?topic=2506.msg43655
For soil I am using rebo's recipe of 3 parts Fox Farms Ocean Forest, 2 parts Fox Farms Light Warrior, 1 Part perlite, and 1/2 part worm castings.
FYI Mandalaseeds.com soil GUIDE:http://www.mandalaseeds.com/html/soil_guide.html
The 3 pots are 3.54QT/ 3.35 L in size
Germination:
Germination is in ROCKWOOL soaked in 5.5 pH water inserted in a plastic container inside a card board box and sitting on top of my router.
This method worked the two previous times, so why mess with it.
FYI Mandalaseeds.com Planting Seeds and Germination http://www.mandalaseeds.com/html/germination.html
My Cabinet is an Ikea closet whose outside dimensions are 52.25" H x 23.5" W x 16 .5" D.
The Fan ( 172 cfm) and Carbon filter are from HGTSUPPY.com
I will be using a 150 w HPS 6" CoolTube < fixture also fromHGTSUPPLY.com Ventilation consists of a Single 8" x 8" Darkroom Vent on the right side, a 4" filtered hole on the back panel and several holes combined to run wires on the left side.
Water will be GLACIER RO water from PUBLIX supermarket.
All suggestions and questions will be welcomed!

SOILor for organic freaks, just plant into organic soil mix with bat guano mixed in... and put away the calculator.
