FIRST Grow Journal. STEALTH D.W.C.

First off... Constructive Critisism is always welcome. Im new to this indoor stuff, so im sure this will be filled with mistakes and thats alright Gotta learn somehow right. So my "stealth" is a dresser. I cut it all apart, gutted it, Lined it with printer paper, (ghetto yeaaaa i know its ok im poor) and glued the front of the dresser back together so it looks normal. Current girl is Autobomb. Automatic obviously. its on 24/0 for a couple weeks until its a little more healthy and big (just planted today) and as soon as its about 7" or maybe 8" ill switch it to 18/6. My lighting is all CFL, again im poor so dont give me shit about that lol. 4 x 1500 lumens of 5000k (only thing Lowes had) and 2 x 2600 lumens of 2700k. When flowering comes around i have 2 more of the 2700 bulbs and they will replace the 5000k. So were lookin at 10,400 Lumens for flowering. That should be efficient enough .

My DWC is just a 5gallon lowes bucket, air pump, air stone, hose, you know the deal. Basic easy to do. NO nutrients for a couple weeks. When its gets healthy (in growth) enough i will start SLOWELY adding nutrients in. probably just the GH nutes. Pictures will be up tonight when i get home.

Curious to see how people ususally start DWC off.... I germinated the seed in just a cup of water, it soaked up lots and dropped to bottom. So i tossed it in rockwool and ill hand water it until its roots can touch water. approx 2" above water is the pot. So far thats all i got! Let me know waht you guys think!!

Got home last night, had to go to the ER cus i had some shit wrong with my hand... got back home looked at her and seed is craced and root is coming out great. At 9am this morning, she looked good just a little progress from last night, when i get home ill take a few pics and upload them! Come on people reply and tell me what im doing wrong/right!

u checking ph cause dwc has to be checked every day

Did you presoak the rw cube for 24 hours?

UPDATE** Ok heres what sucks. im poor, im going to go on the PH my ONLY what the plant tells me.. YES i know.. but im a noob and i cant afford any of the other things, and its my first grow. i mean its more of a learning experience. I didnt use Rockwool unfortunately i didnt have enough loot for it. so i just used a Peat pellet, and leaving the net on it. Ill keep the resivour cleaned good and im getting nutrients next week. Started off my Autobomb seed, went well, idk what happened but it died. Whatever no big deal. Got my Biodesel germinated and planted this morning at 8:30 eastern. its 12:13 now so when i get home ill check to see if any improvement at all lol.

It's sprouted and looks healthy ill tak a picture when I get home!
