Heres what I'm working with:

Big Buddha Cheese Seeds (5), also currently germinating 3 bag seeds from a northern lights plant that produced a few seeds.
Edit: two 400 watt aircooled SunSystem 2 HPS hortilux lights
6" 440cfm inline fan
6" carbonaire carbon filter
Hygro-Thermometer (temp/humidity)
Really big air purifier with a Hepa Filter, Ionizer, Ozone Generator, and some other cool stuff thats supposed to be used to filter an entire house.


My Story: I'm finally in the living situation where I can grow now, and I've been spending the last few months setting up my extra bedroom so I can grow out as much funky weed as I can. I've been reading about how to do this for years, but as you all know.. nothing is as good as experience. So I'm going to be writing this grow diary as I go along, and hopefully if I come across any problems... the beautiful people here at ICmag will help me through the tough times.

My Setup: I have the Carbon filter sitting on the floor, which is where I've been told the carbonaire is designed to be placed. I have ducting from the scrubber to the hood, and from the hood to the inline fan. I have the inline fan blowing all of the hot air into the walls of the house.

The ventilation in my room seems to be sufficient. I have several intake holes, three 4" ones near the floor board... and three more 2" ones a little higher up in the room. There is also A/C in the room, from a vent in the ceiling, and it comes on whenever temps start getting around 81F.

My temps minimum is about 68F and its maximum is about 82F. I'm currently using 24 hour lighting, but I will switch to either 20/4 or 18/6 soon. I kind of think maybe it would be good to transition it from 24/0 to 20/4 and then to 18/6. Does anyone disagree?


Thanks for reading

EDIT: Here are some pictures of my setup

Hey Queso
Welcome to Icmag
You will find all sorts of help here, including an answer to your picture problem
You need 2 posts to start putting up pics.
Your lighting idea seems fine, but I would just pick a sched and go with that, why waste the electricity if you don't have to
Good luck with your grow

cool room what kind of purifier is that?

[Queso45]

Hey kushforlife,
Thanks for the compliment ... I believe the "purifier" you're talking about is actually my carbonaire carbon scrubber. I have not uploaded any pictures of my air purifier... but heres some info about it: it is a Nutri-tech (waterfiltercanada) air purifier with 9 stages of filtration. heres a website with the link:

So here are some pics of my plants at around 3 weeks since I planted the seeds. Some of them experienced a bit of nutrient burn, but I have since transplanted them into a half ocean forest/ half light warrior mix. I still have fed them zero nutrients.

















and here is a bagseedling that I planted about 5 days ago. I think its weird that it has three leaves on it.
