Hello All,

So this is my first indoor closet grow and I plan to keep track of it using this grow log. The idea behind the grow log is for me to keep a diary and can reference at a later date with other grows, to collate information as I learn during the grow, to share my experiences and to get opinions, advice from other growers and just give back to the community what it has given so much to me.

The grow setup is a tent in a closet, the size of the tent is 60cm x 60cm x 140cm. I have one 300watt 9U CFL (Blue Spectrum 6500k) currently on them, I plan to swap that with a 300watt 9U CFL (Red Spectrum 2700k) when they start flowering.

I am only growing autoflowering strains mainly because of my curiosity in them. I have 3 x Afghan Kush Ryders and 5 x G13 Labs Pineapple Express.

I have an exhaust system which has a carbon filter attached and exhausts out of the top of the tent, into the ceiling and out into the cupboard above. The intake is from the bottom of the tent and pulls cold air from under the floorboards of the cupboard the tent resides in.

I am currently awaiting two 6" oscillating clip on fans, which i plan to attach to the sides of the tent to help with airflow and breeze directly on the plants (when they sprout).

I planted the germinated seeds in 3 litre pots using biobizz organic soil mix. I have ordered some Biobizz bloom ferts for when they start to flower. I am not going to bother with VEG nutes as I believe the organic soil will be enough for the plants for the first 5 weeks and they will be into flower then because they are autoflowering strains therefore straight onto bloom food.

I am going to take some pics of the tent and space now so you can see what I am describing, I will then post pictures and updates as and when something happens.. so when they sprout i guess will be the next post :-)

If you have any questions, or I've not mentioned something important then please ask! :-) I would like this to be an interactive grow log that stays on the topic of my grow so I welcome all opinions and advice and comments :-)























OK so that's it for now. The temperature is high as we're getting hot weather here now and having the foam door there brings the temperature off, if i take the foam door off (which i have now) it drops to around 82-85 degrees, which is a little more acceptable.. however these plants are on 18/6 or will be when they sprout, lights are on 24/7 now until they sprout just to help with temperature etc in the tent and i guess they like a lot of light when they start out.. i know i should have a dome over them but i've not got the money to afford one now so will have to make do as they are.

I just looked at them closely and the one in the top left hand corner has sprouted so tomorrow i guess we will see the very first seedling popping through the soil!

Please let me know what you think so far.. look forward to hearing your comments :-)
