Hello, this is my first indoor grow, all the stuff I did building and starting this grow pretty much came from this website. This is actually the first forum I have ever joined and I've learned alot, not only about the grow but how to do the forum too. It's been alot of fun and also addicting but here go's
I built a 2x4 room with R13 insulated walls and subfloor,
3'x5'x7' are the interior dimensions, its a sealed and air tight room. I installed a 5000 btu a/c unit to cool it
before that I covered the walls with white reflective 2m mylar and sealed all the seams with aluminum Tape
I bought a Sunleaves sunspot 600 watt air cooled reflector and hung it with twin rachets, the light is cooled by means of a dayton fan
I bought a 20 lb co2 tank and regulator plus timer
and set up my 5 gal buckets
I cut poly screens for the bottoms so the soil wouldn't flush out
I started with Happy Frog soil and mixed it with about 30% perlite. I started seeds the paper towel method and transplanted after the first 5 days into the buckets under the light reduced down in wattage for a week by way of my lumatek dimmable ballast
A week later I turned it up a notch
Then all the way up. At about 4 weeks they looked like this
then the next week
After another week I flipped the lights to 12/12, after about 5 days I could notice what I thought looked like buds starting to develope...its been 10 days now and their starting to fill out, they streched like a son of a gun the first 10 days..now their starting to slow down a bit
I guess I'm pretty lucky, 3 plants/3 females. I did, when I bought the seeds, ordered White Widow feminized, I'm still thinking I got lucky though. I try to keep a clean room for em and so far its paid off, no insects yet.
I'm really happy with the grow so far, thanks to you members out there who have helped me along the way, especially to "Logic" for this whole site, also to those who didn't know they helped by way of their threads... didn't mean to be a pain, I was { and still am} just learning Ha ha!! Not only the grow but the forum too! I have another 250 w that I bought and another smaller room thats its in, I wish I knew how to clone, I'd take some cuttings if it wasn't to late, I could and get a jump on my next round, I guess I'll learn soon... I'll post more as it go's, Any questions, I'd be happy to answer and any comments will be seriously considered.....Thanks
