Long Awaited First Grow Log

[BkSkillz]

welcome everyone to my first grow log!YAYYYY! well after spending countless nights and days of researching and putting together my grow bible ive gotten together the resources to start my first grow...as of right now im using 2 100w cfl those swirl types along with one incandesent my grow space for now is a plastic bin about 2,1/2 feet in height about a foot in width and about 2 feet in length which i use to keep old quilts inside which after researching i found countless possibilities for but i decided to use it to strengthen my sprouts during vegging..after seeing maxblast first grow and his clever bucket layout this should be just as seccussfull or so i hope right now i have 7 plastic cups with there interiorfully wrapped in tinfoil with a few centimeters between the plastic cup bottom and the inner foil layer in which i have some aquarieum stones i found laying about under my aquarieum this is just for drainage(they were presterilized or so the bag of stones says) unfortunitly yesturday was sunday so i couldnt find the right soil mix i planned on buying since friday at the flourist because they didnt open yesturday but todays another day and out of 12 seeds i put to germinate 7 sprouted now im just sitting waiting for tommorow to get the mix theyve been germaniting for about 2 and a half days now and i redamped the paper they're in so they wont dry out and die on me till i can get them in some soil..my soil mix is going to b a 50/50 promix/perlite mix..i lined the inside of the bin with dull white paper straight out my printer along with tin foil on the roof and the bottom of the bin. the bin is placed in the center of my room right where the vent for the heat is at and the boiler of my apartment is set at a steady 70 deggrees hopefully this outside tept will be good enough for my chamber since im expecting tepts to rise once lights on begings for ventilation ive made several vents on the top of the bin above where the lights are hovering and will look into making my own rastafan soon. As for the tinfoil inside the plastic cups my thought behind that would b the tinfoil inner layer would make it less stressfull onthe plant during transplanting into bigger pots..um.. thats about all for now to give you guys a basic disscription of my setup hopefully soon i'll b able to get some pictures online to show you guys but till then any and all advice highly appreciated..now where did i put that clip at...

Day 3 update...out of 8 germanated seeds 6 originally sprouted by day 2 during hour number 18 of day 2 i switched the flouro light with this agrolite i also brought to see how much of a differerance it would make unfortunitly within an hour two of the 6 that sprouted shriveled up agro light was much hotter then the flouro, also after that misshap i noticed that pumping fresh hair periodicly wasnt having much of a possitive affect on the chamber so i constructed a makeshift vent out of tin foil the tin foil box duck tape and the house from the pump and placed the vent box end on my window sill since myside of the apt gets the most draft up here on the third floor..because the tinfoilbox doenst extend the whole way the window does i put some sweaters and extra ducktape on the remaining open part of the window to keep the cold air out..doesnt seem to be working to well but i'll solve that later on the possitive side the air vents working great for the chamber especially when i put the agrolite back on(any comments on weather cold air from outside will negativily affect plants please say so before damage is done). noticed that the plants i placed right under the light dryed up fastest so changed layout of plants to circular patern around the edges of the light source...planing on germanating 3 more seeds to place under lights by weekend..also due to fact that all my seeds are random bag seeds with a couple of haze seeds thrown in da mix plants growth expected at different rates any help with determaning species highly apprechiated..experience is the best teacher but any comments or segjestions please help! pictures coming soon...
