First Grow together! Grow cabinet Bagseed/CFL/Soil using LST
Hi all,
This is Mrs. Big, as he is currently sleeping
Big and I are recently married, 2 weeks yesterday!! :s2:
Our first dream wasn't a house or a new car, it was a grow dresser! And boy, does it look awesome!!
This is my first grow, his 3rd. I'll give you specs on the next post so I can verify exactly what we have in there.
We don't understand hydro so we're just using potting soil, we can't afford hps so we're using cfl's.
I've done a lot of reading up on LST so I'm taking charge of that aspect!! :thumbsup:
Thats my intro, now to get you up to speed...
our lil sprouts are about a week old I think, we germinated them using the jiffy thingies from Home Depot and some on a paper towel.
We're just using bagseed, bagseed and a prayer!
We just transplanted them 2 days ago into actual planters that are ~4"x11" (I'll update) 2 to a planter. We currently have 3 planters with 2 sprouts each and 2 planters with 3 sprouts. I'm sure only a few will make it to full size, so we're overcompensating with 12 so we don't have to start over. (We had a LOT of seeds )
Quite a few good-looking sprouts, I'll have pics soon-promise!
Theres 6 CFLs in there, I wanna say they're 100 watt (what the box says) but I'll verify that. Fan for air circulation (keep 'em dancing!), temp stays at ~80f and humidity ~35%
Stay Tuned, I know we'll need some guidance along the way.
Thanks and an early Happy Holidays to you and yours!!
Mrs. Big

I'll be watching, good luck. Bulbs are probably 23w (equivalent to 100w Incandescent.) Should be enough for now for sure though.

Hey all, Mrs. Big here!

This is just a lil clip of what our set up looks like. I just rigged a reflector for the main group of cfls, and finally got some decent cardboard to make the back.
I'm gonna try to make a short video every few days or so so you can really see what's going on in there
Thanks for your replies!

Okay, I made my own profile so Big and I aren't sharing one.
Humidity is at ~20%, too dry?

....a video grow log....:thumbsup:...welcome to Canna.Com...:jointsmile:
1. Just a little free advice: 4 foot long Fluorescent tubes would work better for the first 3-4 weeks of vegging in those multi-plant, long rubbermaid? tubbs.
Ordinary shoplights in T-12 or T-8 are quite cheap and would cover those containers, better...IMO.
Multi-plants in one container can be a problem, too.
2. Any fluoro lights you use should be 6500k (Kelvin temp) for the first 3-4 weeks.
3. Good Luck...enjoy your grow.

What do you think about the humidity? We live in a very dry climate, I could put like a wet towel in there to :ahem: moisten it up, thoughts?[align=center]:angelsmiley:AngelFish:angelsmiley:[/align]
