any comments or help would be aprecitated
the temp is 70

this is my 1st indoor grow not outdoor got about 4 oz of by outdoors il try to post pics of the bud thats left

my the way the cfls are only 18 watts due to the 26 get hotter and there not much brighter and they were $10 dollars more
the whole set up cost $15 since i already had the cabnet
any question?

Once you have strong seedlings move your plants closer to the lights, I use a stack of books or whatever to prevent stretching.

hey man, real nice, those temps are fine, any thing to the low 80's are good, but everything looks great, subbed.

jp i know thanks i was going to do it earlier but they havent sprouted

concord thanks
ive never made a thread of my grow im happy

cool man... ventilation?

i have no ventilation but my temps are onl 70 with all 4 lights on

I would add a six inch fan once you have seedlings. get that air moving around in there so the plants vibrate slightly. You dont want them blowing on the plants directly, but every grow needs a fan.

The grow room looks good!!! Pick up an old PC fan and an old cell phone/cordless drill charger. My local Northern Tool sells used PC fans for about 6 - 7 US dollars. If your temps are 70 now, you should be fine for ventilation. Like "justparanoid" said, air movment will help strengthen the stems to help hold all those FAT buds you will harvest three months from now!!
Looking good, keep up the good work!!
I'm watching with anticipation! + rep

ok im going to get a fan from my old computer does it matter on the cell phone charger what kind should i get

whatever wattage the charger is, 12v, 6v, whatever, the fan will just run a little slower if its not 12v.

There should be info on the fan stating something like, 12V, .25 ma,
On the charger it should say something like "Output 12V, 1ma", these numbers vary depending on the original use. You can run a 12 V fan using a 5 V charger, although it will spin at roughly half speed. I'm pretty sure I read a DIY on this forum. I'll see if I can find it and post it for you. It's a simple setup!!

Here's the link! Good Luck!!

thanks
yesterday i put 3 seeds in soil with out germing today i put another seed on a piece of paper on a plated and bowl germing
how long do you think till the 3 sprout or the germing one to show root?
i think im so anxious because with my out door grows i wouldnt check them much this early

All I've sprouted was bag seed. From a couple different bags, I've had germination happen in as little as 18 hours, and as much as a week and a half! I think the age of the seed, how the seed was stored, and the conditions the germinating seed is put in, all these factors (and probably more!) have an effect on the length of the germination time.
If you give them warmth and moisture your seeds will usually sprout.
I used the paper towel method to sprout the seed and then carefully placed the sprouts in pearlite filled peat pots. Lots of people sow seeds directly in soil or rock wool. It would be intresting to see a side by side comparison of different seed germination methods!

i like the paper towel method, mine usually pop in about 24 hours, heres what i use, just keep it warm and youre good to go. i always put just a few drops of the ortho upstart in a little water i mix in that other tub, then in the cake dome and on top of a vcr or tv.

dont lose the key to the lock hahaha

thanks i cant wait till they sprout i feel like im a teenager again about to lose my virginity lol

Nice work man!
