9 Bagseed grow journal

To start off the seeds we got came from some bags of some dank that we have got locally over the past few months and we have gathered about fifty or so seeds through bags we bought and also seeds our friends find in bags.

Our germination process is a new method and something that my brother found on the internet and he thought he would try it out. We have used the bowl over a saucer method and it worked well but this time we just took about twenty seeds and put them in a wet paper towel and put tem in a small glass jar (pic below)

Our grow box is made out of two 18 gal. sterilte containers. They are to seem as stealth as possible as to not quite seem what they really are. They are used this way the top container has the bottom cut out, as the bottom lid has the middle cut out to where it is glued on to the bottom of the top container. on the sides of the bottom container there are holes cut out to fit the different fans on either side. Inside the bottom container it a security blanket glued to the walls.

The lights we are using are used with simple plug in's that the lights screw into. we are using six CFL's that are pluged into this surge protector. The pattern of the lights from left to right on the surge protector are this
1-23w
vplug with 1-23w-1-43w
1-13w
vplug with 1-13w-1-43w

Next to the lights is a standard computer fan that is mounted to the lid of the container with regular wood screws and L-mounts and wired to an old cell phone charger and pluged into the wall.

Our plants are going to go into dixie cups with ten holes drilled in the bottom and placed in a plastic tub. the soil that is going to go in the cups is Premium Potting Mix 0.2%-0.1%-0.2% it is made of 50-60% Composted Pine bark, Vermeculite, Canadian Sphagum, Pete Moss, and Perlite.

Well as i said earlier here are the pics, they all sprouted finally! we are going to start the light cycle to 18/6 for a week maybe a week and a half, then go to 12/12. Haven't decided if we are going to do 24hrs of dark first or not, most likely not. Also I have noticed that not many people have commented on this thread yet and wanted to through out there that all the help and comments are appreciated so if you have anything you think might help please feel free! As I said I am a Newb! I am gettin help from my brother who has grown before but there is a lot of experience on here! but enough of that heres those pics!

Your going to def wanna get more lights, or a 250w(highly recommended), if your going to use cfls your going to want to use a MIN of 20000 lumens which still wont get u dense buds. For about 20k lumens thats 12 23w cfls, n a 250w hps can produce 30k whihc is much better and would work nice if u got better air exhaust for the box.

dang dude,
9 plants? if they're all female you're going to be in heaven.
i like your set up in the huge tupperware container, thats pretty creative... i've seen ppl use them for their hydro, but i never thought of usin it the way you have. thats cool.
but as recommended by others, you're going to want more lights. i've got 2 lights on my 1 plant, and i'm about to buy 2 more (this wed. it will be 3 weeks old). i'd say an average of like 1.8 or 2 lights (i know, you cant have 1.8 lights lol) per plant for veg state is good if you're goin with cfl. then once it gets about 1 week away from flowering you start to notice it might be better to get another 2 to put around it....

i'm interested to see how ur grow goes

thanks man! Yea i am going to install some surge protectors with six outlets on each side, the same as the top and i am going to put two or three 26w cfl's in each side for the flowering once they get bigger though in about a week or so i am going to start lst'ing them to optimize my gro space as best as possible. i just want sigle colas though because it is all going to be personal herb for me fuck sharin im pourin my money into it n i doubt i get enough to sell so im excited!!!
