first grow in small cab need help plz :)

[jmello]

im growing in the back of my guitar amp (to be sneaky) im only testing it on one plant right now cuz i only got around 3000 lumens for now. i have a pc fan pulling air through a hole in the back and i also have an outlet for air too...so far it stays warm in there but im not worrying about heat yet. what should my watering schedule be as im starting from seed? ive been watering everytime it gets a little dry about twice a day on the 16/8 cycle. sound ok???

water only when the top gets dry to the touch.. how big are the pots you have it in?

well they were in 2 liter bottle cups wrapped in tape but i had a hard time germinating them in soil so im germinating new seeds in a cd case...all i have to do is keep them wet and warm right?? i have a little more work to do on the set up like adding another pc fan and painting it flat white...other than that it looks good

[twitch]

yes wet warm and dark... thats were most people mess up they think the seeds need light to germinate....

I think that guitar amp is not very big so 3000 lumens can be enough . For small space u don't need 20000 lumens . You can install that much of light but u will have heat problems and whit pc fan u will not be able to control temperature .

If i was u . . . i be keeping my baybe on 24 light per day for first week watering (depending on temp and pot) every second day .

u said that u have 2 l bottle cups . don't forget to make holes on the bottom so water can get out !

sharkfinz asked good question ! I'd like to now dimensions of box

witch lights are u using ?

P.S. Upload some pics !

sorry ive been away for a while guys...ill work on those pics when i get home in maybe a week so dont forget about me plz
my amp is about 1'deepx2'widex2'tall....maybe...i told you it was a small space... i took out one speaker (i still wanna use the amp) and i did put holes in the cups but like i said i needed to germ the seeds in a cd case and theyre still there ( i got kicked out for a lil while) so when i get back ill start it for real guys i promise...i cant wait for your input...oh and if any of you live in MA wheres a good place to get floros and ballasts and reflectors and stuff?...i found some good floros at wal mart but no ballasts small enough. i wanna try for 5000 lumens
