Thanks to everyone that has answered my questions up to this point.
This will serve as my grow log. Using two 20 gallon rubbermaids, completely slapped together on a whim. Black rubbermaid bins, with the inside painted white. 3 x 42w cfl are being used in 1.8 sq. ft. 2 of the CFL's are 2700K and one is 6500K.Currently Im only using a single 80mm exhaust fan with 2 - 2 1/4 inch passive intake holes with T's. The T's dont trap the light at all and I will be getting some elbows soon to take care of the problem. Also, I have ordered a 92 mm Dayton fan that spins at 8,000 RPM, with a power rating of 3.72 amps, CFM rating at 175 cfm, and a pressure rating of 47.68 mm in H20. That fan will replace the current 31 cfm weaka** pc fan and I will be hooking up a DIY scrubber to it. Probably a flat rubbermaid design.
Four beans were soaked for 48 hours, then put in a wet washcloth. Two popped the next day, the other two the day after. I have now put them in dixie cups with a mixture of good potting soil (ultimate potting mix) with quit a bit of additional perilte mixed in. Also a little garden tone was supplimented to the soil (a very light amount) as well as some dolomite lime at 1 tablespoon per gallon. This soil was previously prepared for some habanero peppers Im growing, so I simply used it. I realize you shouldnt fertilize seedlings, but they are doing ok so far. Im not sure what strain they are for sure, I believe blueberry, but Im not certain as the beans were given to me and they guy thought thats what they were but also wasnt sure.
To be honest, Im not sure what fert regimin Ill be using, I need to figure it out this week. I kind of like the idea of organics ... I really like the neptune harvest line up and thought about simply using some alaskan fish emulsion for veg and then using neptunes fish/seaweed 2-3-1 for flower along with molasses waterings.
I realize that probably leaves a lot to be desired though for a nute regimin. Any thoughts on this is greatly appreciated. I could always just grab the fox farm line up from my local hydro, grow big and big bloom and call it a day. I could really use the fish/seaweed ferts for my habaneros though and I like to re-use soil so I would really prefer to use organics. I have read the organic threads here and thats where I got the idea of using the fish/seaweed mix's for nutes.
As mentioned though Im all ears on nute suggestions, this is my first MJ grow so KISS suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also, I can only fit two 1 gallon pots in this thing, so Im going to have to flip to 12/12, sex .. then transplant into their final 1 gallon pots. I have heard mixed reviews about doing this. If you guys could shed some light on that as well I would really appreciate it. Im not sure how to go about doing it otherwise.
Heres the pics, the beans actually broke ground thanksgiving day ... GOBBLE GOBBLE
There are also two peach habanero seedlings in with the MJ's, for now, I will be taking them out soon.
