My First Grow Log
Thanks for the replies all

I've been reading around here quite a bit lately. I also picked up a copy of the Grow Bible by Greg Green last week as well. Very good info in that book, I would definetly reccomend getting a copy if you havent already. *Especially* for those of us who are new to all this.
Unfortunately my cabinet isnt gonna be ready until later this week sometime.
I found a little spot of green growing on the plywood I was gonna use (looks like mold... not good...) so I'm gonna be tossing that in the fire pit. Even if I painted it heavily, I still wouldnt trust it. Got a friend here who has several decent size cabinets in storage so I'm gonna see if any of those will be viable for what I would like to do with it. Otherwise its back to the store for some lumber lol.
I've also got a 50 foot roll of 4 mil eclipse mylar on order for the interior. Black backing and extra thick. I figure I might as well do it right instead of cheaping it out since I havent dumped too much cash into this yet. (thanks to the cfl's)

Finding 6500k cfls in a store here locally has been difficult so I'll probably end up ordering a few extras from somewhere online. 1000bulbs.com seems to be pretty fairly priced from what I can tell and has a good assortment of cfls to work with.
For now I tossed in one of the 25w 2700k cfl bulbs to assist the 6500k's with early veg here.
Although in the last couple hours I have noticed it seems to be stretching towards the 2700k bulb a bit, just like you said hudson.
I've just been turning the small pot every hour to keep it nice n straight. Stem seems to be a bit flimsy so I aimed a small desk fan at it from a couple feet away and put it on low. Hopefully the very small vibration from the fan will strengthen the main stem for the future, not to mention keeping a fresh supply of air in the box.
I have thought about ventilation as well and my cabinet will most likely have a small squirrel cage intake/exhaust system with a carbon filter similar to yours oturbojoe. That should provide some great air flow in there.
BTW... I saw your stealth box.. and I must say.. DAMN.... thats some sneaky shit lol... nice job. You're certainly right, allot of the people here really know thier stuff. I've learned allot (and I mean allot) from just wandering around the different sections of the board here.
I'll be germinating a few extra seeds tonight just in case I manage to kill this one somehow.
Gonna do a test with a couple of them by wetting them and dipping them in some rooting hormone powder to see if it helps speed up germination at all.
Got the idea for that after I googled around a bit and found this link...

Little baby is still doing well in her cardboard ghetto box for now.
First set of fan leaves are starting to get a little bit wider already since yesterday, so it seems to be leaning on the indica side. I cant be sure though since its bagseed, and only a few days old, but thats what it appears to be at the moment. I'll take a few more pics once I get it in the finished cabinet.
My first good quality strain is most likely gonna be white widow like yours hudson... I've just heard too many good things. But I'm leaving that until I can prove to myself I can make a bagseed bud up nicely lol.
I figure if I can make a bagseed do fairly well... I'll do even better with a good quality strain.
Good luck to ya'll with your grows as well.
Well I'm off to go roast a nice fat bowl here :smokin:
