Hi guys,
so my first grown journal was an utter catastrophie (my fault really).
So I'm starting a new grow and this time, the majority of the vegetative stage will be done indoors under CFL lamps (thanks next for the help).
The soil is the same, 6,5-7,5 pH and this time I'm adding perlite.
I germinated the seeds two days ago using the paper towel method in a temperature of 21 C (which is around 70 F for all of you not using the metric system), and it was ready to be put into the soil yesterday night.
I bought some peat pots for the very first time and drilled holes in them (but I'm pretty sure the roots can just grow right through the bottem). I bought them mainly because I wanted to experiment. Oh, they are about 400ml (14 oz) and I added 30% of perlite to the soil.
So about the lamp... I bought one CFL, 6500k temperature, 25W, I'm sure that will be enough.
I don't have a grow room per say, I'm using a small boiler room where the temperature is stable at around 19 C (66 F). The only thing I'm worried about is the fact that I don't have any proper ventilation system. So I just thought that if I keep the door wide open, that would suffice. I hope that there will be some kind of draft going on. I'm going to leave the lamp on 24/7 (or maybe 20/4 as I heard that plants appreciate a little "rest" period) for maybe about 3 weeks or so.
So that's really it, I hope this is going to go much better than my last grow, I'll keep you posted.
Peace guys, and happy late 4/20.
