I just want to preface this by saying that I am paralyzed from the waist down, so certain things are impossible for me to do. Also, I live in southern Florida so temps are an issue. Not as much recently which is why I began this grow, I have started 2 other grows (including one under a 400W HPS) but I couldn't keep temps below 88-90 so I abandoned them.
I germinated 2 feminized Bubblelicious seeds (from Nirvana), I did not think that both would sprout and grow as healthy as they have so I am going to start flowering one within the next 2 weeks (switch to a 12/12 schedule) and keep the other vegging for another month or so.
I have kept a grow journal since the seeds popped which I will post below. To germ, I put the 2 seeds in a piece of moist papertowel, placed it in a tupperware container, sealed it almost completely, and the seeds both sprouted within 3 days. Once they sprouted a good enough taproot, I placed them in my Propagator Pro for about 5 more days, then transplanted them to solo cups and placed under 2 26w CFL lights for a few more days. Then I transplanted them again to their final 3 gallon pots.
I am going to pick up 1 or 2 of these 42w 2700K CFL bulbs in the next few days. I also have two 42w 6500K bulbs which I am going to add during the second half of flowering (probably only one).
The soil I am using is ProMix (I don't remember if it is HP or BX). I just ordered a gallon of molasses which I am going to add to my foilar mix and use until about 2 weeks prior to the finish of flowering.
CO2 Generator
I followed these directions, with a few tweaks. I used Superyeast and added an air stone with air pump (aerobic conditions produce 3 times as much CO2 as
anaerobic, if you don't believe me do the chemistry yourself as I did). I also added ~2mL of AmmoLock since I am using tap water (to detoxify ammonia and remove chlorine and chloramines).
