Baby Grow - Just for fun.

So it had been only two days since a complete tear-down of my grow space, and already I was feeling a little empty without having any babies to look after :(. That's why last night I started germinating three more bagseed I found. The only known strain of the three is Cali Mist. The others are just good ol' nug.

I know I've said a couple of times that I wouldn't even attempt another grow until I had really good equipment, but I figured what the heck. Might as well get one more practice round in. Plus if everything goes right, I'll have my HPS in time for flowering, or at least most of flowering. So last night I constructed a box and CFL lighting rig.

The equipment is nothing short of mediocre, but I believe the construction and some quality care tactics I've learned since last time (like NOT feeding the full recommended dosage of MG food - Thanks for that one Rusty) should make this grow pretty good.

So let's see what I'm using.

Growspace:
- 18"x18"x36" moving box, lined completely with mylar.
- Built in exhaust at the base (This should force fresh air into the box, past the lights, and around the plants.)
- One circulation fan hovering above the lights.

Lights:
- 4 x 27watt CFL (6000k) and 1 x 42watt CFL (2700k)
- Reflector is simply a wire frame with mylar stretched across it.

Medium and nutrients:
- Scott's premium all purpose potting soil with about 40% perlite (will be sprouting with 10% perlite)
- I haven't picked the nutes yet, but I'M NOT USING MG. :thumbsup:

That's just the basic Idea. but I will be trying at least one new thing this time around: I will definitely be trying LST (Inspiration from Bigtopsfinn) and possibly, maybe attempting to SCROG it (these portable locker shelves are awesome!)

I posted some pictures of the box, I know it's somewhat of a ghetto set up but I think it will work better than the last one.

Let me know what you think! I'm gonna try and post updates every few days! I'm also thinking of taking a picture from the exact same spot everyday and making a stop-motion type growth video. It just might have to happen!

Thanks for stopping by :jointsmile:

it don't look bad man seems like it would be just fine

That's what I'm hoping. My biggest concern is obviously the lighting... If I can't get the HPS for whatever reason ill likely just replace the smaller cfl's with 42 watt ones, which would give me about 210 watts of cfl. Not terrible, not great either though.

Thanks for checkin in :thumbsup:

Looking forward to seeing this :thumbsup:

Interesting setup....I'll be following to see what happens! :jointsmile:

So are you growing from fem seeds and what strain? Just wondering.

Nope, no feminised. All bagseed. I know one of them is Cali mist, not sure about the others.

Thanks to everyone else for stopping in! It won't be an epic grow or anything, but I've never logged before. So... Here I go. :jointsmile:

How many are you planting and how many are you hoping for?

Unfortunately i'm only planting 3, so I'm hoping for two females. that's all the bagseed I found over four months. At least I've been getting that sinsemilla...

Quick update: I'm expecting the seeds to crack at some point today or tomorrow. Then it's into the soil they go! :thumbsup:

well, good luck man. I am still on a grow that I started out with 9 plants, from seed, and ended up with 3 females. The odds weren't good for me. lol

This grow is going to be interesting to watch.
