systrex Reviewed by systrex on 12-29-2007. 1st grow, all flos, small space, a lot of learning... Hello All... New member to the site, though I have been reading on here for a while now... Im about to start my first grow, and figured I would start a grow log to share my experience, obtain some help if needed etc etc... Well I have my grow spaced all picked out.. Its a cabinet that I am now longer using... it is 5'H x 28"W x 15"L which should give me total sqft of 2.91... I have a idea of what lights im going to use and how to make them... I plan on using 18 26w 6500k compact Rating: 5

I gotta say your doing real good for a 1st Grow.

[Jerry Garcia 2007]

Very nice grow you have going, and very good nutes you are going to be using use them myself

here a pic about 2 days old right when I got the new light

[SmokeStack2]

There going to love that light, are you keeping the cfl's running also?

[systrex]

Right now no... I only have like 2 that are pointed under the plants to provide some light for the undergrowth.... with the current area they are in im not gonna be able to control the heat so I have decided im gonna move them to a larger area where there will be more space for some more plants.. plus in the new area I will have a place to vent the heat from the light, better able to control light leaks for 12/12, add more lights(when I get more money), and actually be able to walk around in the grow space..

anyway some specs on what I got..

light bulb - 600 watt eye hortlux super hps light
Ballast - future brite electric 120v hps ballast
Reflector - Sunleaves ArcticSun Reflector

Well im in the process of getting there new grow area ready.. in the meantime Im gonna be taking some clones(need more plants since I will have so much more space). I bought some calmag since I have been using distilled water. besides that not a lot of news... heres a pic

I think you are gonna have a lot of bud there. Looks great, first grow and a very nice grow going. Love how you took a thing that had to go and turned it into something so cool. There are a millon of those old tvs out there too bad they arent all being used like yours!

[systrex]

Well today I went and bought a humidifier since the humidity in my grow area was about 14-16% so hopefully I can get those levels back up to around 35-40... the leafs on the plants seemed to be really dry and some were even start to get crispy(thankfully only a couple)...

I also started a few more clones hopefully these come out better then my last attempt(cloning is new to me) first attempt I didnt have any of the right tools(tray, dome, cloning gel(had some powder)) anyway ill keep you updated on those...

I think thats about it for now..Ill post some pics tomorrow...

also, I should have all the plants in there new home within a few days.. soo more room, less heat, ect ect

New pic... they are finally in the new room which I still have a lot to do... paint the walls, get another light, clean things up a bit, and setup the vent for my hood.... new update when everything is cleaned up..
