Well guys, here it is.....my setup and grow info:D :D :D
First of all, I'd like to say thank you to everyone who had patience with a NOOB and took the time to help out... it was not in vain

GROW ROOM SETUP- My room is a closet located in the laundry room. It is 6ft x 4ft x 8ft high. I had to add outlets for power since there were none but that was no problem. I use a bucket warmer submerged in water to provide humidity and help regulate temperature. It is controlled with a light timer. It took some playing with to get the levels right ,but after i figured it out it was easy to adjust. I also have an old CO2 tank that i fill with dry ice and leak into the room but i have yet to use it since my plants started growing sooo fast.this was a spur -of-the moment idea so i made my grow tub out of ply wood i had here at the house and then coated it with liquid latex but i will be buying large rubbermaid tubs for next grow. I cut 3 5" holes on the bottom and covered them with some screen i tore off my window(lolol) and covered the screen with a butt load of MG perlite. My soil consist of a 6" layer of regular potting siol mixed heavily with perlite and an upper layer of MG 3 month feed potting mix that is 10" deep also mixed heavily with perlite for an over all depth of 16". Before I planted anything i watered really heavy and allowed to drain all day and planted 3 days later.

LIGHTS AND VENITATION- I had a buch of old 4 lamp floro fixtures and decided to take them apart and mount them all to one board since i knew i would have to raise them every day(sometimes twice a day).The board holds 12 T12's.....6 40watt coolwhites and 6 40watt OTT-lights. The OTT-light is a bulb that claims to be a natural light supplement. I gotta say i really like em'. For ventilation, there just happened to be an air duct be hind the wall........so i cut a hole in it and glued a peanut can that i cut the bottom out of to the duct since i did'nt have any real duct tubing. I also found this little weather sensor that measures temp/humidity and records highs and lows for the day and sends it to this little display i keep in my bedroom.

NOW FOR THE POT !!!

Once i got the temp/humidity where i wanted it and felt that the soil had drained enough I planted 8 seeds.....bag seeds......but at least they were good bags. The seeds sprouted 4-5 days later and all i've had to do since then is water them.

Looking good... Sweet setup... Great build....
 
:D 2ND WEEK:D

I decided to try to use perlite to reflect as mush light from the soil as possible. I also started a weekly foliar feed with FLORALICIOUS GROW.

well,.. they're about 20-22" tall now and stinkin' like hell. I can only dream of the puff they wiil produce.this grow will get me better equipment for the next and prolly some good strains/clones. still don't know the sexes yet ,but i inspect them every day...any pointers or tips for floro flowering ???thanks
 
Wow nice job. I like the DIY approach thats awesome. I'm in the same boat attempting to get better equipment as and when I can. Keep doing what you are doing the plants look great. Only suggestion I could make is trying to get those bulbs as close as possible, even touching if you can without burning the plant.

the lights are raised to take pics only.they're usually 2-3 " away.
 
Great grow man, I'll try my best to stay tuned I tend to forget LOL who knows why I forget things. Too much spliff :D
 
Man what a sweet garden of mj ladies.
 
Saw your problem with humidity in Timmy's thread, went looking for stuff for ya. First at $60 is a small electric dehumidifier, which is really your best bet. You could set it up on a timer to only run occasionally.

They also make nonelectric ones that are linked from that page for like $20, they don't work as fast or hold as much water but may be good enough for your situation.
