After soaking up as much indoor grow info as i could take in these last few months, I finally decided to give it a shot on my own.
Short Resume:
One successful outdoor grow under my belt last summer, ~250g/3 plants.
Any advice/criticism is welcome and appreciated.
Specs:
2 22 gallon Rubbermaid containers stacked on top of each other.
Each one has dimensions:26.5"x18.6x17.1
Right now I have 2 seedlings (<2 weeks) which are Anesthesia (?, Fem) and Chernobyl (TGA Subcool, Free Seed) and 1 veggin' 3 week old bag-seed.
I have one 4" AC computer fan at the top blowing the heat from the CFLs out, and the lighting section is separated with a sheet of acrylic.
The bottom section consists of about 30" of vertical space, and a 9"x3" vent for intake.
I am planning on throwing out the weakest of the 3, but ideally I would like to sex them first. Not sure if there will be room for that though...
For lighting, I have 4 20 W CFLs @ 6500K. Ambient temps are 72 with fan on and 80 with fan off ~30% humidity.
Here are some pictures, one shows all the various nutrients I have bought so far, all I am missing is Fox Farm Big Bloom which I will buy shortly.
The seedlings are in solo cups in Peat Pods surrounded by seed starting soil. The larger bag-seed is in a 6" pot with a great Organic soil mix, which I have plenty more of.
Questions:
1)In 2 weeks, I will be gone for about 7-8 days. Even if I give them a lot of water right before I go, is that still too much time to be away without checking in? If so, has anyone used any automated watering techniques? I was thinking of just buying 5-10 of those aqua globe things but I don't want them to get over-watered either.
2)Also, I am not sure how smart it is to be starting 3 plants in such a confined space. I was only thinking of keeping 2, but its an extra tough decision when I am not sure of the sex of 2/3 of the plants.
3)I picked up some high N bat guano 10-2-1 and some High Phosphorous bat guano 1-10-.2. Will this be a sufficient base fertilizer to use throughout veg and flowering? I won't buy the Fox Farm liquid fertilizers if I don't have to, especially since I am on a tight budget for the rest of the grow, and anything organic is a plus.
Sorry if these questions have been answered before, I am just getting to the point where I have invested enough money that I really don't want to screw things up!
Thanks for reading.
