Okay I guess I can start on my journal for my first grow.
My grow area will consist of a closet under the stairs for vegging. For flowering I got and 4x4ft tent off ebay for $110 shipped.
I started with DP Blueberry seeds (not feminized they cost too much )
I germinated 5 seeds on wet paper towel in ziplock bag. Too keep it warm I had the bag sitting on top of my cable modem.
On 9/04/08 my babies were born! In less then 20hrs after i put them ziplock bag!
I took the seedlings and stuffed them in root riot cubes. Then stuff the riot cube in 4" rockwool cubes that were sitting in a propagation tray. I was lightly watering the cubes every 2 days.
For lighting i'm using a 2x 24" tek T5 HO kit that was used on my saltwater fish tank. I had to rip it off my old aquarium canopy then i just nailed the t5 lights on piece of plywood i found.. its ghetto but works. After a couple days I switched out the reef bulbs to 6500k bulbs.
I have my lights running 24/7. Average temperature in the closed closet was 79f degrees the max it got was 84f. Theres no A/C in my room and its been like 90+f degrees outdoors.
I wasn't really sure which method i was going to grow! I should of planned this ahead of time. At first I wanted to do ebb&flow system or some kinda drip system.
Then I decided to go with DWC or Bubbleponics style since I already have air pumps.. While i was wasting time deciding my plants were growing ALOT faster then i expected in the progation tray! Roots were sticking out of the bottom and I didn't know until I looked on day 10. Thats when I started feeding them nutrients. I added 10 drops each of Canna Vega part A&B into a half liter bottle of water.
I will continue later with my basic DWC bubble setup. Please leave me any comments for my improve next time.
