Hey, everyone. Welcome to my very first journal. I will try to be as detailed as I can, but you are always welcome to give your opinion. This journal will document me experimenting with some bagseed I have saved up over the last few weeks. They seem to be in good condition, but being bagseed, I have no idea on what the genetics are.

SETUP
Growbox
I used a vanity from Home Depot without the sinktop. Used plywood to cover the hole in the top and in the back. Dimensions are 24" Width x 18" Depth x 31" Height. To keep up to date on modifications done to the box itself, feel free to visit my thread https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/579867-cfl-grow-cabinet-advice-needed.html
Lights
For lighting, I have decided to go with CFLS. I have three 14W, two 30W and a 68W. They are all 5000k, but I will be gettin two 30W and a 68W in 2700k for flowering. To power the lights, I have a 6-outlet power strip inside the box. What I like about this setup is that because of all the socket extensions I have, I can pretty much position the lights in any way I need so I can spread the light to all the seedlings.
Medium and Nutes
For my growing medium, I decided to go with Scotts Premium Potting Soil. The home depot over here doesnt have too many soils to choose from. It was either this or Miracle Gro Moisture Control, and most of the stuff I have read tells me to stay away from Miracle Gro soil, so I went with Scotts. For nutrients, I have this blue powder plant food I got from my mom. It is 30-10-10. I have no idea what brand it is, but I will be using these after the first 3 weeks starting with 1/4 strenght.
ON TO THE PLANTS!
