1st Time Grow Log

We are slowly getting our set up together. We started with a hollow three section wardrobe, the largest sections being approximately 22X19X48 inches. We are currently using 5 cfls and a fluorescent tube. We are using an 80 cfm inline fan pulling the air through a carbon filter. I'm not sure if this fan is large enough, it doest seem to be doing much.

We've germinated a number of seeds, currently only two have sprouted and appear to be doing well. They're currently on a 24/0 light schedule.

Because the soil is a particularly bland type we fear for N deficiencies so as soon as safely possible we will start a nute regiment high in N. We also plan to use a regular dose of superthrive as so much has been said to its benefit.

We donâ??t know the strains of these 2 seeds currently growing, in time i guess we'll find out. These are about 4 days old...

Any comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Its looking well thought out so far... good job man :}

After a week of nothing, look how decides to show her faceâ?¦

^look who decides...

I think somehow a grass seed germinated...

lol. That sucks, but mabye ur llittle girl is still down there.
Shes just sending her spies up to the surface to see if everythings alright :P

Quick update... we've got a total of 4 seedlings... quickly approaching week 2. I'm having a hell of a time keeping the temperature do where it should be. Any ideas? We've changed the way the lights are, made the lights come to the plans in lieu of the plants coming to the lights. Thinking that this would keep the plants out of the hot air that rises. There is approx 3 feet of air between the lights and the top of the cabinet.

Other than the temperature, everything is going well. Again, if you have any ideas on how to lower the temp, I would love to hear them.

do u have anything sucking air out? I cant see it. can u take more pics of ur setup?

Nice cab...

Keep working it... it'll end up like the perfect grow setup for you! :)

Things are moving along smoothly, I think. Learned a lot by trial and error, mostly error. Currently we have an 80 cfm in line exhaust fan pulling the air from the top *pic 1*. I'm in the process of building the carbon air scrubber, the exhaust will be pulled into that using a 240cfm in line fan. I am hoping that will lower the temp some.

We've added a small automatic watering system, it's on a timer, set to water at scheduled times. *pic 2-5*
