First grow in Cab with CFLs - Cali Orange
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:side00 Reviewed by side00 on . First grow in Cab with CFLs - Cali Orange So I decided it was time to give a grow a shot indoors...
