Hello all. I've never posted a grow journal before, and am deciding to post my first one to this site. I have no pictures yet, but I wanted this grow to be documented from day 1.
What I'm using:
- Miracle Grow Topsoil
- 18-Gal Rubbermaid Tub
- Seed/Clone starter tray
- 6 6500K 26W CFLs for veg
- 8 2700K 23W CFLs for bud (maybe add a couple 6500Ks too)
- < 180mm Computer Fan
- Possibly a 20W Fluoro tube from an aquarium (Color looks Bright/Blue, so maybe I should stick it in there for Veg?)
I have saved 50 or so seeds from the "best of the best" bags I get. I germ'ed all 50 (just tossed the seeds in a cup of water and put them in a drawer overnight. Last night most of the seeds were cracked and ready to be planted.
I took 15 of the best-looking infant ladies (I hope) and put them in 1" by 2" pots. (The remaining 30 seeds got planted in a big planter too....I don't have enough light to support these forever, so they get to move outside when they're tall enough).
Out of the 15, I hope to get at LEAST 1 female. That would be all it took to make me happy....If I get more than one, that's great too.
I wired up an old very powerful PC fan from an ancient server. This thing puts out more than a box fan. I used an old PC Powersupply, attached a switch between the "PWR_ON" and ground.
I know its bad, but being on a very low budget, I had to go with Miracle Grow Topsoil....Supposed to supply food for up to 3 months, but I'm going to keep an eye on my babies for 'nute deficiency or burn. I never heard of anyone using those "spike" plant feeders for cannabis...if it comes down to it, I may have to use these to feed them later on.
This is Day 1 of my grow. Eventually if I find my camera's battery charger, I Can get some pics up.
Questions:
Is it possible to use the "fertilizer spikes" (which I believe are 10/10/10) after the food wears out of the soil?
I am on a very tight budget, but I can make almost anything....is there anything I can do to help the quality or quantity of my plants?
Any suggestions welcome...Thanks for glancing in....tune in for more later.
