Here is a report on my first indoor grow.
Soil: I am using a mixed soil consisting of pro-mix and a cactus blend soil (very good drainage)
Lighting: 2 X 23 watt CFL lamps for veg at 5K
Seed: a Blue Widow freebie
Nutes: home mix of sugars, slight acid (to balance PH of water), and schultz grow 24-8-16 at half mix, liquid calcium / molybdenum / strontium micro's, and an iodine / iron / magnesium / manganese / potassium / chromium / cobalt / lithium / nickel / vanadium / selenium / zinc micro's (kent marine essential elements designed for saltwater tanks) that i have used for years due to my keeping saltwater coral and no hydro shops near where i am located. (I like to buy local) and an essential amino-acid complex with vitamins (again designed for fish tanks but home brewed, I have degrees in Chemistry and Biology).
Time: 3 weeks from start of seed prep
plant is in 2.6 gallon container (10L)
1st pic (quarter is for size)
another
last one for now.
I keep the lights on 18/6 time and always located close to the plant and pointing from a 45deg angle.
this is my first indoor grow and am looking to store my records on this site and to gain some insights into indoor gardening by gathering feedback.
I will try to keep this updated as much as possible
Thanks for looking.
