I recently found 2 bag seeds and decided i should try growing. I see it more as a hobby than a resource for some premium MJ.
So, i found a big cardboard box in my cellar that seems perfect to grow in. With my $100 budget i bought the following things:
2 15W 6500k CFL bulbs
2 26W 2700k CFL bulbs
Schultz Potting soil
Schultz perlite
Stim root
Liquid growth flower bloom (8-16-![Cool 8) 8)](/styles/smilies/icon_cool.gif)
All purpose fertilizer (20-20-20)
24hr mechanical timer
I started off by germinating the seeds for about 3 days. When the tap root was about 1/4" long i dipped both seeds into stim root and put them into 2 small containers with a potting soil + perlite mix (i washed the perlite.)
I am currently only using 2 CFL's (one 6500k and one 2700k). I have no fans for ventilation but i did cut a hole on the top of the box and on the bottom. I can occasionally open the box and put my big fan on it to air it out.
I was wondering if i should just start off with all 4 bulbs going?
Here are some pictures:
My light fixture, i have 2 of these
My soil
My fertilizer and nutes
The box in my closet (current set up)
This was taking through the hole on the top
Plant #1 (You can see one of the holes)
