Disclaimer: I am not interested in yield! I merely wanted to do this as a hobby and experiment to see if I could do it!
----------------------
Okay, so my first grow wasn't to successful, although I did learn a lot from it.
Now, this is my progress so far. Oh also, I had 9 bag seeds and only 1 germinated - last time I germinated 5! Was hoping for 2-3 This time. Oh well. Lets hope for a female!
Enclosure: PC Case
Ventilation: 2x 92mm PC Fans extracting air and passive intake
Medium: Australian Yates Premium Potting Mix
Strain: Unknown - Bag seed

Day 1 - 07FEB09 - The Sprout
Lights: 2x 23w 4100k CFL
Light Cycle: 24/0
Was so amazed to see the progress overnight! Woo. I literally jumped and squealed like giddy little school girl when I saw it! It looked so happy!
Day 2 - 08FEB09 - Woah!
Lights: 2x 23w 4100k CFL
Light Cycle: 24/0
Was so supprised to see how much it had changed in just one day.
Day 4 - 10FEB09 - Missed a day, oh well!
Lights: 2x 23w 4100k CFL
Light Cycle: 24/0
Today I bought 3x new light fixtures, although have been too lazy to create a setup. I figured two lights just wasn't enough.
Day 5 - 11FEB09 - Second set of fan leaves!
Lights: 2x 23w 4100k CFL
Light Cycle: 24/0
Was so excited! A second set of fan leaves! I must be on the right track! Ain't it a cutie!
Day 6 - 12FEB09 - Today the 6400k goes in!
Lights: 1x 23w 4100k CFL
1x 18w 6400k CFL
Light Cycle: 18/6
Big day today, addition of a timer and change from a 4100k to a 6400k.
Main set of fan leaves getting big! Second set are getting some size too
Also noticed the cotyledon's are starting to get a bit of brown, although the gentlemen over at #rollitup said its not a big deal (as I thought it was too early).
Day 7 - 13FEB09 - Do a barrel roll!
Lights: 1x 23w 4100k CFL
1x 18w 6400k CFL
Light Cycle: 18/6
Wow, this was an unusual thing to see early morning. I honestly thought the plant was trying to do a barrel roll. I think it favors the brightness of the 4100k. Also, more browning on cotyledon's.
Day 8 - 14FEB09 - 1UP!
Lights: 1x 23w 4100k CFL
2x 18w 6400k CFL
Light Cycle: 18/6
So, today on valentines day, I avoided my girlfriend and instead wired up some new lights and put the timer and 12DCV adapter for my fans inside the box, figured it looked a bit suspicious on the outside.
Only got one picture, don't know why. Oh well. Also, the THIRD set of fan leaves started popping through!
Day 9 - 15FEB09 - 4 new fan leaves! Woah.
Lights: 1x 23w 4100k CFL
2x 18w 6400k CFL
Light Cycle: 18/6
Boy jolly good wow was I excited when I checked the plant after it's 6 hour nap. 4 new leaves! So 3 new sets of leaves in 2 days! Dammmmn.
Also a picture of the full enclosure with new light setup and timer and all that other garbage inside the PC case. Here we go!
Okay, that's all the updates I have. I honestly don't care if this thread has any followers or not - I will be using it as a personal journal if anything.
Toodles.
