Okay, So im going to start a grow journal.
As of today..........
SEEDS:
So I started fresh without the basic knowledge or supplies. I ordered 10 blueberry seeds and got 5 super silver haze seeds as a gift with the order. The whole time i was waiting for them I was freaking out and wondering if i would get busted. They came in less then a week!!!!!! I have went thru 6 BB seeds and 1 SSH seed before getting these two BB seeds to sprout. Basically I think i boiled/burnt the others up. I have 2 BB and 4 SSH seeds left.
My shortest plant was potted in soil on 12-8-08 and the tallest is 1 week older.
seeds = 50$
LIGHTS:
I started off with just one cfl and then moved up to two cfls. These CFLS are around 23W (actual) and they are of unknown light specturm.
NUTES:
I wanted this to be an all organic and natural grow and thought that i did not need to add nutes. My plants are sick and dieing and growing freaking muchroooms instead of weed. They never started growing muchrooms untill I made tea out of spare soil and water (50/50 ratio). There was not propler nutes in the soil i bought.
Soil= 10$
So I just ordered a 150W HPS system (84$), ten 1/2 gallon grow bags(4$), & a 3-pack of FoxFarm nutes (40$)...(Big Bloom, Grow Big, Tiger Bloom). I am waiting for it to get here. I am not sure what to do once all of this gets here. I would prefer to get rid of this soil.. but its very costly to get some mailed in.
EDIT: I am using some sort of attic insulation to reflect the light. This is NOT an IR Blocking Sheet
My Questions to you the valued viewer....
1. I would like to keep a mother plus i would like to grow several varieties and keep mothers from them. I know I need to keep them under 18/6 - 24/0 lighting .. but is this all there is to it? Do i feed them different nutes?
2. Do i need a pH tester.
3. Should I get an Infared gun which is only 50 bucks on amazon.com
4. Which size of bags should i get?
5. What would you differently if you took my setup today and only had a few hundred dollars to work with?
