Hello everyone. Please comment on my set up. Any advice is good advice.
This is my 2nd grow ever, but my first one in years. I am doing a CFL garage grow. The winter cold is going to something to watch out for. I probably should have waited until the spring to start, but I was too excited. Worst case this is my trial run.
I got an old wardrobe on kijiji. For ventilation I am using a 50 cfm bathroom fan and a vent on the bottom for an intake. I am using 4 x 23W CFL's at the moment and plan on using HPS to flower. I bought a vanity light on sale for $11 and wired it to a reflector a built.
I chose Purple Paralysis which is sativa dominant. I am going to try scrog with them. They are currently 7 days old. One had some damage during germination and is a little behind the other. I watered them today so they look a little droopy.
The cold is going to be the first thing I am going to have to worry about. It's about 32 degrees outside. I put a block heater outside of the intake on a timer. It will be on for an hour then off for 2. I just started that today. It looks like it gets to 77 degrees after the hour on.
