Got all three of the soils. Pro-mix (standard) for seed starter. Its milled spaghnum & perlite, no nutes. Pro-mix organic, great soilless mix with compost & other great organics. & Fox Farms ocean forest, GREAT mix, excellent organics, but a lityle strong for seedlings. So you see they'll be transplanted twice, each potting medium a little richer. Everybody should agree this is all great stuff
---- Ok, now this is the part where we will all butt heads........ LIGHTING... nothing but fluorescents. Yeah, you read right, pure fluorescent! But keep in mind, CAMPER CLOSET...entire camper ran on several extention cords. Remember, I've had fire before. Plants can't finish any taller than 2 1/2'. Fluorescents are great plant lights, but can't penetrate foliage or distance. That's fine in my case. Let me describe my set up. For veg (& 1st 2wks of flowering) 4' double tube shop light fixture, cool whites, total 5800 lumens, 6-8" from plant tops. I have 4 lamps I made, adjustable from 8"- 2 1/2' tall that will house CFL's @ 1200 lumens each. I also have a bunch of 900 lumens & can make more lamps as I need to increase light. At the ends of the 4' fixture will be a 2' under cabinet grow lux, forgot the lumens. These are all cool white for veg, but will go into flowering for two wks before switching over to warm whites & adding RED CFL PARTY LIGHTS. Cool (blue spectrum) doesn't make plants stretch like warm (red) does, so this little two wk thing makes a lot of difference in the finish height. Two days before harvest, I'll cut the lights back to only 10 hrs & cover the warm whites with red plastic. This forces rapid ripening. I know what to expect & I know with more intense lighting I would have bigger, tighter buds & more harvest weight, but under the circumstances, it is what it is. I'll also be doing root restriction by keeping them just slightly pot bound. I wanted to share my penny pinching technique to show when in a pinch, it doesn't have to be expensive. Just tide me overs till the outdoor crop.
