Hi everyone, loooong time reader, first time post. i am trying a simple grow in the back of my closet and would like to hear any thoughts. thanks.
- I am starting out with just the agro bulb until the seedlings emerge, then switching to more lights as they grow.
-Organic soil mixed with little bit of top soil
-distilled water
-miracle grow nutes
-3 26 watt cfls(100 watt output ea.)
-1 agro grow bulb
-...bagseed (very DANK)
***if pics dont work: grow area= 1.5ft x 2ft x 3 ft***
i'd add some perlite to your soil if it doesn't have any mixed in already....
not a fan of miracle grow stuff although it can work....fox farm liquid nutes are amazing
dont forget to get something to test your PH and also make sure you have a fan for ventilation
Go to the dollar store and splurge on an aluminum turkey pan. It will be way less hassle, and safer than the shoe box.Quote:

If you're going to use MG nutes, be sure to flush your plants well before harvesting.
i do have a slow blowing fan and a vent hole at the top. a couple of them are about an inch high and blooming their first pair of serrated leaves, but they seem to have slowed.
-I have them in cut out bottoms of plastic water bottles with about 2inches of soil depth; is this the reason why their growth has slowed?
Your cab is almost the exact same size as mine lol.
nice.. then u can help me.. maybe?
-probably will just transplant into bigger pots for vegging, then once more into 2 gallon pot before flowering
I could help if I wasn't a n00b. haha. But I have a thread in the cabinet section. I haven't built my cab yet, as I am pretty lazy. Just waiting for a weekend that I can go and get everything. Oh and yeah you should do SCROG. I might do it, but truth is I don't think I am too concerned about yield so I probably won't.Quote:

My friend and I grew plants cloned at the exact same time from the same mother and he used miracle grow and i used GH 3 part and my weight was about 4 times his.
our plants are about the same size and they have slowed also im using bloom booster miracle grow but i als ohave this stuff called super thrive just like super vit and for flowering we will be using this stuff from the hydro shop called beastie blossoms made just for flowering! 0-50-30 !!!!!! the stuff miracle grow has 18-15-21 but dont like it that much probley stick to dynamite and super thrive for fegging
well i went ahead and transplanted to 2 gallon pots and they seem to have been rejuvenated over night.. im gonna try and find some vegging nutes...pics hopefully coming soon
well walmart was out of superthrive so i got a similiar product, that promotes new roots and has B1. i also moved the light closer, so will see what it looks like in the morning.
--pic is 3-4 days from sprout--
nutes did the trick and they are off and runnin now.. will keep updating, and maybe start a grow log.
