Thanks for the advice, I do have some ph up n down already. I was going to use holistics advice with the perlite but I haven't got any yet and it might be too late to worry about it because I peaked at the beans on my way to work this morning. The one that looked white on the edge popped and...

One day in the towels and no change, one of the beans looks quite white along the edge but I didn't take a close look at it before so I don't know if that's any change. Also gave water a test with the pens. If I did it right it was 7.5 ph 135 ppm. That's not bad right? Maybe a little too high...

Got 2 beans in towels and bags, and here's what bucket 1 looks like right now. Just got to mount fans and a power strip and tidy up.

Picked up 2 small pots and wired my fans today. Just need to cut one more hole for the exhaust and finish wrapping the lid, wire the lights and I'm done. Probably gonna get the beans going tonight.

I picked up a ppm and ph pen at a local shop

Does water quality matter at this point? Tap water or important to PH?

Hey guys, today I would like advice with actually starting the germination. I'm hoping to at least have bucket #1 complete tonight, tomorrow at the latest and I want to be ready for the next step. So for my questions. 1 - I am using FFOF, is that soil ok to start with from seed, and if not how...

Got the mylar wrap done, cut out the intake hole and wired the fan for it. Mylar wrap for the light lid, clean up and attach fan tomorrow night. Then just have to wire the lights and the exhaust and I'm ready to go.

This is where I stand currently in my set up. I just got my fans today and I'm pretty sure that's the last thing I needed.

I have done about 4 months of Web research too. So much to learn but it's exciting and I'm loving the DIY adventure. That dresser sounds awesome btw. As for over watering I have read that letting the soil dry out between waters is good for root development so hopefully that won't be one of my...

I can only hope my buds look that good

That's exactly where I found the idea. I chose it because nothing in the description felt too difficult to get started with as well as it being practical for my current living situation. I hope to learn through this and maybe keep the buckets for autos since autos are smaller by nature based on...

Soon you will have a visual idea if you are curious, but it is not just a closed bucket. I will have additional spacers for height and a light top.

"run the passive intake 50 cfm less than the exhaust. That keeps negative pressure and ALL that intake air goes out through the filter" I found this answer to a question in the grow room section. Does this then mean that I should use the smaller fans I got as intakes and the larger 2 as...

I have not looked much into LED yet, not expecting a huge yield as it's a small space with autos. I have looked at some LED buckets that look good, I just don't know anything about LED and being this is my first rodeo I wanted to give myself the best chance for success.

I will post a couple pics of what I've got going on so you can see later after work. I'm hoping someone can give me some advice on my fan question before I get home so I can get that part done tonight.

Also curious, is that per plant totals or all together total?

I am following the guide for the blackout space bucket... essentially it is a 5 gallon bucket with a 5 light cfl lid, an intake on the side of the bucket and exhaust on the top of the lid. Outside in duct tape, inside is mylar.

And for my first question... I am trying to start up with 2 buckets for my first grow. I just picked up 4 fans from a local shop. 2 are bigger and 2 are smaller. Is there going to be an optimal set up as far as which to use for intake/exhaust?

Hey guys first timer here. Been reading as much as I can online for a few months and I've almost got everything together to get started. Ordered Swiss Cheese Autos from Nirvana, processing was fast and I had the package 11 days after it was paid for (in the states). Almost done putting...
