I have been smoking weed for years but have deiced to grow my own after lots of reading on this great site.
I have germinated the seeds (Bublegum).Then i have placed them into little plastic cups with holes in the bottom watered with mineral water 6.5ph.And placed them in a warm cupboard waiting for them to start to shoot.
My dilemma is i have read the next stage is tp put a 40w Fluorescent lamp just above the seedlings.But this is were my dilemma comes in i cant fit a 40w Fluorescent lamp into the cupboard and the cupboard is in my sons room so i don't realy want light coming out of the cupboard when he is a sleep.
I have made a grow box for there next stage 4.5ft x 2ft x 3ft out of a old metal tool cupboard(cleaned and sterilized).I have fitted various fans for intake and outtake and circulation.I have lined the box with water proof insulation.At the top i have fitted a 250w Quartz Metal Halide - HQI-T light with a reflector.Which i have put the grow box into my garage, because of the temp of the garage(cold) the grow box need the light for heat which is always around 75f to 80f.
Can i move my seedlings directly into the grow box and leave the light on 24/0 until they reach the flowering stage and change the bulb to a HPS-t 250w on 12/12?
