Been having a problem with my post not POSTING. 'Posted' this a couple days ago & somehow lost it, so here it is again. My bff ordered me a 6 tube T5 grow light, complete with tubes. She'd planned to leave it with another friend of ours who lives just up the road from me & have her deliver it xmas day, but when she heard I spent my grocery money on grow supplies, she nixed the suprise idea, told me about it & will be bringing it to me the second weekend of Dec. She spoils me. Think its her way of making up for moving so far away!
---- Anyway, BIG improvement on lighting & will be building a cabinet (gotta keep the kitties out). It definitely won't fit in the closet! I will still be side lighting & underlighting with the fluorescent that was to be the main overhead light in the closet. Probably use the closet for about 2 wks before cabinet is complete.
----Some of you probably wonder why I started this thread before I started the grow. Figured it would be easier to log my technique first, as I have a lot of little tidbits I've picked up along the way that are uniquely mine. They're not wives tails, all have been tried & true. Wanted to stress a few things about organic that went beyond just nutes, but also the hormone thing that can be found naturally occuring in various organics if you only know where to look. Now thats out of the way, I can concentrate on logging the construction & grow in real time. Hopefully someone can instruct me on how to get pics posted to this thread from this damned cell phone. Its a Samsung Galaxy S3 if anyone would be familiar with the bells & whistles on this thing!
---- I've yet to mention the friend who's giving me the beans to start up so I won't be waiting months to order, so I have to again say THANK YOU to him! SOON!
