Hey all. What was a mild curiosity, is now I think my new hobby. I'm 8 days in (from seed) of my first grow. Right now I'm testing the waters, playing on a budget before I invest into something I suck at LOL. Through this grow I will be adding more essentials, a little here and a little there... so please... please dont slam me to hard!
Here's the basics:
Closet
Hydro (soon to be Deep Water Culture)
Flora Series (Micro, Gro, Bloom)
4 AK-47 seeds (from hermie)
Lights (for now):
4 - 42watt CFLs (2700 lumens each)
18/6 on timer
After 24 hours in a wet paper towel under a bowl, the 4 seeds all sprouted very well and I placed each in a pre-soaked rockwool cube and placed the cubes in a pot under the lights.
Day 3: All is good, 3 broke ground... err.. wool and have starter leaves. 4th is still coming, think I buried it a little deeper.
Day 7: A bit nervous because I was gone a couple days (had looked after), but all look well. New set of leaves, and the "runt" has broken, just trying to loose inner casing of seed.
Names: In a tribute to MY favorite gun-wielding babe, I decided to name each of these AK-47 (what I HOPE to be) girls after Jolie characters
Expect me to refer to them by name from now on...
Day 8: Sway lost the rest of her seed, working on opening. And while fiddeling with my CFLs, one went dead!! So, I said f-it and I ordered my 150watt HPS from e-cono... anybody know how long it should be to get here?
Okay, thats my first post to my first grow! Hope to stick with me and help me along the way.. I need it!
