i made the mods i think i needed to my box and my plant broke soil soo i guess its time to grow a bit ill be using this as my grow log and ill post pikz every 2 to 3 weeks...and i have a few questions so advice will be a bug help thanks...
o.O karma...:hippy::thumbsup:
here are some pikz of my stuff...1 is the mylar i finally put in..all three side excapt for the front for easy access and its covered by reflective tint...2 is the two lights im using 1 is a 120 watt plant light i think its incandecent...im not sure other then that and the other is a 40 watt commercial grade lightbulb...i will be changing them as soon as i get an hps and mh bulb...3 is just the inside of the box and the fan for ventilation...and finally 4 is my plant that just broke the soil and is growing...the soil is miracle-gro and some brand of potting mix the potting mix is 21 7 14 and the miracle-gro is 10 5 5 and has phospherus, nitrogen, and other nutrients plants need like perlite and ect... i used a very small amount of a plant food from miracle-gro that is 30 15 25 and is full of all the nutrients the plant needs...i water is with distilled water thats been out for about 24 hour chilled to room temp...the box temp is around 79 degrees and is a little humid...i was thinking about putting a little humidifier in if it would benefit me any and thats about it i hope it all works well...:wtf:
your going to kill those plant before they even get started. your nutes are high as hell
and #1 rule NEVER i mean NEVER use anything that have the words miracle-gro on it
ok why is that and ill dump the soil right away and i have some old soil out back its from some off brand company...ill put it in right now...and what brand do u recommend...???
sta-green if you dont have the money for Fox Farm
i got some pics of some of my first grows that my help
i have some organic soil...o i dunno tho its from miracle grow and i made sure theres no weed killer or nuthin but i got it and some water and thats all the soil is 10 5 5...and thats all be sides for the perilite and watever...
first pic is light fixture that you can get a walmart for less then $2. for lights go with compact flos if you dont got MH/HPS. the sta-green is at lowes for $3-4 bucks and you will need to add a bag of pelite from walmart. you need to get .88 cent pot at walmart(your bowl dont look like it has holes for drainage) also you should add a few rocks at bottom of your pot also for good drainage. hang on im sure theres more i can tell you
man its seems like a long time ago when i was doning the same as you, but i was told something, Go Cheap, Grow Cheap!
thanks its a big big help and i have a couple more fixtures should i just add them and how many more if im using cfls...???
