Hey everyone, it's been awhile. This post will be in several sections so please be patient. I'm typing this all from an itouch.
Background; this is probably my third or fourth grow that i intend to see all the way through. We're starting about 1-2 weeks in ( i can never keep track).
Set up; ~two cubic feet of Farfard(sp?) all organic soil in large (gal and a half?) containers. I've used that clumpy, muddy Hyponex shit in the past...never again.
Lighting; two four foot floro shop lights (as in four tubes) with daylight bulbs (forget how
Many lumens, it's been awhile.) I'm interested in getting some aquarium/terrarium bulbs. I believe they have more red spec. But i might be wrong.
Time to save and start another post before this one gets deleted like lastnight

This is a low (more like no) budget grow, luckily i still have my lights, fans, and timers. I'm on 18-4 right now and i'll attatch some
Photos soon.
Ventilation; one old box fan suspended over my lights (on timer). It's blowing down which I think i'll reverse (draw heat away from lights). Also one small fan blowning on plants (full time) as
Well as two small wally world desk fans in the ceiling, blowing in for "fresh" air. They're mounted in the ceiling bays (see low quality pics). Did i mention this is a basement closet grow.
Seeds; just collectedFrom some good
Mid-grade.(some of you are are like wtf, good middies? Lol)
I'm starting this thread for opinion, suggestion, and positive feedback.
I'm going to keep taking pics and updating this thread.
Some innitial questions:
-Anyone have exp. With Farfard soils?
-Opions on lights & ventilation
-I plan on not uaing fert. so any suggestions on nutes would be appreciated
-Have an old worm box from fishing, was thinking of trying worm castings. Earth/garden worms or nighties

wow...Thought this was an active grow forum. Am I in the wrong part of the site or has C.com completely changed in the last few years. Zero response, thanks for all the great ideas guys. I mean evenwith no photos yet you could still offer up something: anyone exp with this soil or growing in basement conditions? Guess nobody out there in canny land knows how to grow a fuckin tomato plant, thanks for ignoring my thread, guess i shouldn't bother with updates then huh. If i can get an admins attention please, am i in the right area? Cause we used to talk back in the day. It was crazy, ppl actually put words in responses in threads. I'll keep updating, anyone who wouldn't mind giving some advice, it would be much appreciated.
