Hi all, I am just starting my first legal grow. I grew for a few years under the radar. I built a closet from scratch, in an outbuilding. The environmental conditions were pretty extreme, so I had to do some pretty complicated heating, venting and humidifying. I did one run with bagseed, then a couple of years of bought seeds. Good runs with good yields, more than I could smoke, and some to give away.
Now that I am legal, I can take advantage of the closets in my basement, where temps are moderate and I have just a little natural humidity. So my set up now is a 250 HPS in a basement closet. It's well insulated and has some natural airflow; it's not real tight. If needed, I can easily add in some venting and fans. Right now, lights on temps have been staying around 70 F., with humidity around 15-20%.
I'll use the 250 until the plants are ready to flowering, then I'll put them under a 400. Once that starts, I'll run one closet for veg and another for flowering; having separate closets take care of the light cycle differences for me.
So I planted 5 seeds a week ago, the strain is White Ice, from White Label seeds. All 5 popped, and the tap roots are starting to push out of the peat pucks, so I am going to pot up today.
More to follow as things progress.
