Well.....we're off to decent start so far. I've read posts until my eyes started to bleed. Then finally decided to start my journal and submit it to this esteemed panel of experts. Wish me luck!
Here's some background...
Grow box is a 2' x 4' x 4' basic mylar lined box with two 125CFM fans for ventilation/cooling. One sucking in down low, one blowing out up high. Temps are staying between 90F during the hottest part of the day and 70ish during the nite....averages about 10 degrees hotter than the room it's in. Lighting ideas were provided by the most excellent "CFL Lighting 101" post here.....:lama: Thank you cyberquest :lama:
There's 4 of the 65W 6500K Florex flood lights @ 8905 lumens/6233.5 PGL each and 10 26W 5500K full spectrum spirals @ 1600 lumens/1120 PGL each for a grand total of 51620 lumens/36134 PGL in a perfect world.
I'm using a soil-less mix of equal parts pearlite/vermiculite/peat moss and setting up the pots as recommended in Mutt's most excellent post.....:lama: Thank you Mutt:lama: The pots are 1.5 gallon for the little ones and 3.5 gallon when they grow up. Nutes are Supernatural's Grow Aqua and Bloom Aqua (for the one's that have made it to flowering so far...) mixed as per the label. 700-1000 ppm max but I've not gone over 850 ppm yet. I also use their Superleach once or twice a month depending on how they look. The babies are being raised in a DYI bubbler style cloner :lama: Thanks Massproducer:lama: with one small mod. I epoxy'd a "jump start" tray and dome to the top, cutting out a section at the bottom for the babies. This was to keep the humidity up and stop them from drying out. I'm just now into week 2 of flowering for the three grown ladies (one clone from a friend and two bagseeds) and week 2 of vegging for the latest ones...two Arjan's Haze #2 and a Big Bang from greenhouse seeds....and last but not least, the babies. I've got two clones rooted so far - from the other clone a week before flowering - and 6 in the bubbler - two each from the other clone and the two bagseeds. Here's the pics....or at least what I can fit in this post for now. The rest are up in the gallery in my CFL Grow - Fall 2008 Album
