I'd like to start by extending thanks to all who are here helping. I have been able to learn quite a lot in the last few weeks reading and reading and reading on this forum. Answered hundreds of questions for me and also led me in the right direction for all of this to go as smoothly as possible.
I've had 3 outdoor grows in the past, sadly had to cut the last one short for personal protection, so I've moved my operations indoors at a different location. Never tried this inside before, but have definitely seen the results of some quality operations in the past, and have been into gardening for years, and developed a fairly green thumb over time. I'm always interested in learning more though, so I welcome your help if you have a suggestion.
I'll be growing in an old wardrobe of mine, aeroponic system, 4 or 6 grow sites, with a 250w MH/HPS light. Exhaust fans at the top next to the light, Intake fan in the bottom corner. The space inside the closet measures 24w"x23d"x46"h. I'm thinking I should stick to 4 sites so as not to crowd the plants. (Input on this issue is appreciated.)
So the story of this grow starts off with me telling a grower friend of mine that I wont be growing outdoors and have considered starting an indoor grow. I started putting together my parts and pieces for this aeroponics system in this wardrobe, and last week he brought me 2 1week old lil bagseed fellas and said happy growing, so now I'm trying to put everything together to get this system really started.
I'll have to transplant them from the soil they are in to the hydro system. I have been reading here on RIU and have seen several examples of success with this type of transplant.
I dont have the cabinet complete yet, but it should be within the week. The light is ordered and on its way, and I will be going to my local hydro shop this week for the last pieces of the puzzle that I will need. I will also be ordering some seeds, as these two plants are bagseed and I have no guarantee that they will even be females. Im thinking about autoflowering varieties... Suggestions??
I will post pictures of the cabinet and aero system as soon as I get it together, but I do have a couple of pictures of the little tykes in their current environment.
Age:: 2wk
Light:: 2 - T12 24" OttLite Floros
Cycle:: 20/4
Soil:: Local Organic mix w/25% perlite ratio, no added nutrients as of yet.
One of the plants is obviously much healthier than the other, and I'm somewhat wondering if the runt of the two will be able to survive the transplant. I may wait until they are about a week stronger to move them. Suggestions?
Thanks for reading, I'll update when I have information or pictures worth updating for.
Any comments, suggestions, or questions are welcomed!![Peace :peace: :peace:](/styles/smilies/peace.gif)
