Hey there ICMag,
I officially started my second grow, but my first with a fully dialed in box, and real soil. (The first grow, I got impatient and threw some bagseed in some store-brand soil in my 90*F box. Didn't turn out too well... )
Here's the info:
The Box:
16" x 18" x 30" tall
Home-made, painted flat white, with two 120mm intakes exhausted out of a DIY scrubber with a 130cfm fan.
The Light:
150W HPS through a DIY cool tube, exhausted with a 130cfm fan.
The Soil & Nurtients:
FF Happy Frog soil, with about 40% perlite. I plan on transplanting in to FF OF.
Superthrive, FF Grow Big for now, will pick up Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom , maybe some others that catch my eye...
The Ganj:
Of three, the first to germinate are:
Big Bud- bagseed from a CA dispensary.
Ancient Bagseed- about three years old, half the size of the other seeds, but germinated none the less , kept them in a sealed, light proof container in a cool place. (These were the seeds that I used for my first grow, so we'll see how they turn out...)
The other that hasn't germinated is a very pale bagseed, probably won't even germinate, but might as well try.
I also added three more seeds to the paper towel a day or so after the first three, so they should be cracking in a day or so, they are genuine Mexican bagseed, and will be added to the cab as soon as they crack.
Method: The Big Bud, albino seed, and Ancient were soaked in water for a couple days, then put in a folded paper towel and kept moist. The 3 Mexi seeds where then added straight to the paper towel.
I want to thank everyone on this forum for all the knowledge they have contributed to the fine art of cannabis cultivation. This forum has taught me nearly everything I know.
Even bigger thank you to Pontiac for his DIY Link-O-Rama, and the members who posted their tutorials; the cool tube, scrubber, and fan wiring are all straight from those threads, so thank you!
Right now, the Big Bud and Ancient seed have just been put in red cups, and put under the HPS. I put a piece of tracing paper over them to cut down on the intensity of the light, might keep humidity up a little bit for them too. I forgot to label the cups, and now I have no idea which one is which! But, I have a feeling the healthiest one will be the Big Bud, as the seed is fresh, and the other was half as big and years old.
Stand by for some pics!

Cool Tube Tutorial I followed, some substitutes where made as materials where available.
