Today I restarted my grow (the last one I had to kill because of people working on my house), hopefully the seeds will germinate in a few days.
I've done this once before, however I had to kill the plants that were growing because I had work done on the inside of my house. So for all practical purposes i'm still 120% n00bish when it comes to growing my own so any and all suggestions on doing a successful closet grow would be appreciated.
Here's what I got so far, again - any suggestions would be appreciated.
Seeds : Bagseed from an ounce of mid-grade marijuana. I imagine that if the grower had prevented seeds from growing that it would have been more of a chronic strength.
Location: Closet Grow. The closet is about 8 feet tall and 5 feet wide so there's plenty of room for growth.
Lights: I have 4x 3400-lumen 48-inch flourscent lightbulbs. I've also got 2x 24-inch flourescent lightbulbs for side lights, but i'm not sure how strong they are.
Pots: I've got 2 very large pots (i'm not sure on the exact size, but they were the second largest they had at my hardware store and cost 9$/each) and a few small pots in case more seeds germinate than I was expecting.
Soil: General Purpose Potting Soil from Walmart/"Growing Basics" (it had both companies logos on it)
Chemicals: I bought a pack of "Jobe's Fertilizer Spikes for Beautiful Houseplants" which release slowly over 60 days. They're rated at 13-4-5
Miracle-Gro "Quick Start", a "planting & transplant starting solution" that's supposed to help stimulate root growth and prevent transplant shock. It's rated at 4-12-4
