okay so this is going to be my second grow... the first one was a failure from bag seeds i grew them all wrong... i put the lights way too far and they got all lanky and stringy and couldn't get them to do much else besides grow higher... so i killed those babies and am starting over...
the setup:
i have a 5 plant bubbleponics system with rockwool cubes and hydroton grow medium with 3" net pots... its in a 5 gallon resivior and i have florogro, floromicro, and florobloom nutes... i have a grow space of 2' x 3' x 4' space in my closet designated for growing... i have a 18" double layer flourescent light fixture that has (2) full spectrum tube lights in it and i also have 2 42w CFL's with 10" domes on them that are placed 3" away from the top of the hydro system.
the temp of the room never goes above 78 F and never falls below 75 F i have a fan going on 24 hours a day 7 days a week on a low speed right next to the hydro system. i have a thermometer in the hydro water and it is maintained at about 78 along with the space maintained at 78. the humidity level in the space is approx. 45% during light on and 43% when light is off...
i also have a ph test kit that i test the ph of the water before i add the chemicals and after i add the chemicals i keep the ph at about 6.5
the plan:
i am going to germ 5 seeds at a time (i bought 15 seeds of Skunk #1 and 15 seeds of Shiva Shanti II from Sensi Seeds)
i'm going to start with the skunk seeds and hopefully all will germ and if not i will germ more until i have all 5 spots on my hydro occupied
any information or questions or concerns for me will be greatly appreciated... hopefully real real soon i will have the digital camera up and running to take the pictures to update for you... wish me luck
