Today i have started my first grow and i cannot wait to see some leaves!

My setup is in my attic, i have a 4" AC duct tube come directly out of the AC unit so i will be able to cool the room with downstair controls. I've made a room out of empty space and roof supports with wood and 1" thick foam insulation walls.

As of now, i only have 2 100 watt daylight compact cfls and both in large reflective ballasts. I plan to get another ballast and a stronger high output daylight bulb for veging and then find the most powerful warm white cfl for flowering (daylight spectrum contains more blue and warm white has more red).

I used a natural germination technique by putting the seeds appx 1/4 - 1/2" in the soil

I am using Ocean Forrest soil by Fox Farm and will begin using Fox Farm Grow Big for vegetative growth two weeks after the plants have been growing.

Using my beginner judgment and hopefully some help from the growing goorus on this site i plan to transplant 2 times in hope of at least 4 ladies out of the 9 that i planted. 3 of the seeds are seeds ive found in some nice sacks of my own, 1 was given to me i think it was mids, and the other 5 are a mix of crystal seeds and strawberry cough seeds that my greatest ganja buddy gave me. hopefully i get some sort of a decent turn out. The next few months should be fun and a good learning experience, thats all i really want plus a little prize at the end!

Thanks for all the help and i will post pictures as soon as i can!
