I set up this small cabinet in a cardboard box on end. Started the seeds after they popped under 2 CFLs for one week. The 2nd week I put in a new light
(2' 4 bulb T5 and 150w HPS combo). For ventalation I have one active intake with a PC fan stack and one pc fan exit. After getting the new light I had to put in a 80cfl vent booster to keep the temp at a proper level.
The only other change I am going to make is get a sheet of glass to seperate the light from the grow chamber and have seperate vents to cool the light. I started them in basic potting soil then trans planted them into bigger pots with foxfarms ocean forest soil.

Started the nutes a bit to early (week 2) and had some yellow tips and edges, but all I did was flush for a week and they were fine. At week 3, I added some half strength dyna grow for nutes and the girls took that just fine.

I think this week though I will start them on foxfarms products. I will give them 2 more weeks veg with ff growbig and then tiger bloom and big bud when I start 12/12. I also had thought of using a carbo blast at the begining of flower. If I start 12/12 in 16 days that will give them 27 days veg under the new light, total 34 days veg from when they started in soil.

I was also thinking of topping the 5th node a few days before starting them to flower and then starting LST. As these are from seeds, I can't really do SCROG, I want to take out the males a week or 2 after 12/12 when they start to show. I am going to get some clones off the girls to start the next batch.

So tell me am I friggin nuts?? It all seems to be working rather well and this is my first grow.
