Day 2
No sight of the sprout as of yet. I did a few modifications to the box today. I drilled a 6" honeycomb vent with 12 1" holes and another 1" hole at the bottom for intake. I say exhaust and intake but they won't take those roles until I install the inline fan. I took apart the ballast so I could remove the wire running from the ballast to the fixture thus allowing me to locate the ballast outside the box. Temps are a bit high in the mid 80s so I'm dreading ventilation problems with the HPS. I painted the cup white with left over paint cuz I know it's not supposed to be clear. Also, when I picked up my soil at a local hyrdo shop I got the 3 Fox Farm ferts as well. It cost me $47 for the pack of 3 which I thought was pretty steep. I read yesterday on here that a cheaper alternative are some Schultz ferts at Wal-Mart. I haven't checked on prices yet but I bet they're alot cheaper so unless someone could advise me otherwise I'm going to return the Fox Farm ferts and get the Wal-Mart ones.
Falling_Jihad: I'm aware of the odor it's going to produce. I'm hoping to keep it down with a carbon filter and if need be modify it to be a "dual" carbon filter. It's only 1 small plant so I'm not expecting too much smell. I'm using Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil.
