So I decided it was time to give a grow a shot indoors... I built a cab last week to do it in.

The cab measures in at 30" x 28" x 58" - not huge, but assuming I'll have a couple males and prob transplant 1 or 2 outside the cab right now has 6 26w 6500k lamps with parabolic reflectors, though I will be adding either more CFLs w/o reflectors or maybe some flouros.... lights are mounted with chains to adjust the height... only thing I haven't sorted out yet is ventalation... I have the fans for it, just need to buy the ducting supplies.

24 hours after starting germination 2 were showing taproot so I planted those. I;m starting the seeds in 2 different kinds of soil, 3 will be in Hortibec Premium Nature Mix - Seedling Starter Mix which is made up of Peat Moss, Perlite and Compost (not sure of the ratios)... the other 2 are in Hortibec Premium Nature Mix - Vegetable Garden & Herb Mix which is made up of Peat Moss, Compost, Humus and Sand... not sure of the ratios of either of them though...

I plan on using the VGH mix only once I do the first transplant, but I am thinking of adding Perlite to it.

Anyways, heres some pics!

Edit: the seeds are Nirvana - California Orange Bud btw

the first is the 5 seeds germinating with the 2 showing their taproot

the second is the first seed going in the pot

the next 2 are pictures of the cab setup.

Plant 1 & 2 had their "Day 1" as Apr 12 and plant 3-5 had their "Day 1" on the 13th... for the sake of simplicity, I;m going to say Apr 13 is day 1 for all of them.

any suggestions are welcomed! :thumbsup:
