So I would like to say this is my first grow and so far (only day 10 atm) things have already had ups and downs. Thanks to hours and hours of research on these forums as well as others well before I started this project the few problems I’ve had I have been able to overcome them! Thanks for all the support and knowledge you guys and gals are sharing its an extreme advantage for first growers if they take the time and effort to research before they start.
So as I said above I am on day 10 so in this first post I’m going to log my first ten days. There won’t be any pic sadly until I get a camera don’t know when that will be as I’m buying equipment as I go.
The set up thus far:
10x10x8 room I built out of pvc pipe, panda film, and a lot of tape! The room is divided into two 5x5 rooms and one 5x10 room.
Sunblaster t5 HO 4ft single bulb 6500k
Organic seeding soil in small 4in pots
Not there yet but will be using Nectar For the Gods nutrients. FYI Organs Only offers a free (not free) sample kit that comes with 6 quart size bottles that makes up their Advance feeding schedule and a small bottle of ph UP and Khaos Bloom. They only ask for the shipping costs. So for me all the way across the country it was still only $28 so hell yeah.

Day 2 (Aug 4.): After 24 hours J.H.#'s 1 and 2 and G.S.C.Xtrem # 1 had cracked. Placed all 8 seeds in separate pots about 1/4in deep. Temp 72*F bag over pots for humidity.
