The seeds are germinating as we speak For now I'll post my setup and my gameplan, however I will not have pics of everything up till tomorrow. Sorry.
Setup:
I don't have the exact dimensions of the case, it is roughly ~21in. height x ~24in. width x ~6in. depth. The depth is what was killing me because a lot of the containers I had available didn't fit but I eventually found a perfect sized clay pot to go in there. Also, I have one exhaust fan and plenty of open holes for passive intake. Temps hopefully won't be a problem, the surrounding area isn't very hot at all. It's also pretty light proof for the most part, I have it under a desk so it doesn't really matter.
Seeds: Lowlife's Auto Blueberry - ordered from Sensible Seeds
Soil: Miracle gro Potting Mix
Lights: 1x 125 Watt CFL (I have both 6500k and 2700k that I will switch when needed)
Nutrients: Miracle gro Bloom Booster 15-30-15 (Will be used very, very lightly about 3.5 weeks in.)
pH Kit: General Hydroponics pH Control Kit (Liquid Drops)
Light Schedule: 19/5
Let me just say I fully understand that Miracle gro is not the best choice but it is all that's available to me right now so don't recommend to me fox farms or advanced nutrients, I know they're the best to use. Soil is soil and I figure that if i take care of them properly i should have no nut burn problems Before I put the seed in the soil, I'm going to flush it quite a bit so the plant wont burn. When putting in the soil, I tried to get as many of the little nutrient sacks out as I could. Should I pH the water before i flush with it? or does it not matter because it's just a flush?
