I'm on day 6 of my very first grow, which I'm doing in a south-facing sunroom that's 8' wide and 20' long. The windows are single-pane, untreated glass 6 1/2 feet tall, and I have been using this sunroom to grow winter veggies (tomatoes, peppers, okra, herbs, eggplant, etc.) very successfully.

My setup is very simple. I got a dozen or so 4-gal kitty litter buckets off Freecycle, which I filled with 10" of Miracle-Grow pre-fertilized potting mix. Yeah, I know that's not recommended, but I've had good luck with it and had it on hand, so went with it. For watering I add 1 tbsp of Alaska Fish Fertilizer and 1 tbsp Alaska Bloom to a gallon of RO water at 6.5 pH, which lowers it a full point to 5.5 pH. I water as needed, which turns out to be two days on so far, then skip a day. Again, this is based on a proven technique that has produced lots of really good fruits and veggies from my sunroom, so I went with it for this first grow. Keep it simple... :thumbsup:

I finally went to a mmj doc and got my recommendation, then bought four Sensai Early Skunk clones from a local coop. They were 2"-3" tall with several roots poking out of the rockwool, and really healthy looking. I took them home and immediately transplanted them, watered them, and put each under a 27w cfl with a reflective hood, with the lights on 24 hours.

The sun comes up a bit after 7, and by 8:15 - 8:45 the temp hits 70 in the sunroom, so I move the clones into the sunroom where they get direct sunlight until about 4:45, when the sun drops behind the western hills. At that time I move them back into the closet under their lights. Daytime soil temps are 83-86 F, and I use a small fan to make sure each plant gets some exercise.

Here are a few pics...enjoy!
