Booyah First Grow!

supermiker · #1 (**permalink**) 06-05-2009, 01:44 AM

Greetings and salutations everyone. For those of you who don't know me, which is everyone, my name is Supermike and this is my first grow attempt. I've been lurking in the forums for about two years now I think, collecting info and talking to some advanced minds before I finally tried anything. Well now it is time to begin, graduation has come.

Grow Room
30"Wx30"Dx60"H
Mylar
4 15W CFL 6500K
150W HPS and MH lamp
Fan

The photos are in my gallery I don't know how to put them in here. Maybe one of the mods can help me.

Oh and feel free to ask questions, and thanks in advance for all the advice I know I'm going to get.

Well I think I figured it out myself we'll see. But the first picture is just the outside and the vent. The second on is a view of the interior. Third is a close up, and fourth is a view of my shelf.

This is the construction of my box at various stages from beginning to end. I got the metal grate things from target for like thirty or so. The plastic was laying in the basement, I had to order the mylar and nutes. It's been a pretty low budget expenditure, probably around 200 or so.

Wow, I HAVE THOSE CAGES, would have never thought of that. Guess what, IDEA STOLEN, lol. Looking good buddy. If I could have made one suggestion it would have been to tight stretch the mylar and put it on the inside of the caging so your light is not lost at all. Keep threading your grow man, looks awesome.

Yeah, it was difficult to string that mylar up by my lonesome lol, but I think it turned out alright. I planted my little seedlings yesterday after i spotted taproots but i still don't see any sprouts. How often do you need to water when you're germinating?

My HPS light came in today so I'll have to get some pictures once I get it hung up. How long are you supposed to leave a light on for when you first get it?

Run @ 18 light, 6 off. It will work good. 20 inches from the tops of seedlings, 18 inches from the tops of decent sized plants.

I set up my new HPS that came fedex today, my MH bulb will be here tomorrow. But here's another picture after i changed the setup a little bit. My seedlings aren't sprouting yet so I figured I would move the lights down a little bit. I turned on the HPS for some warmth and I gave them a little more water this time, how long should it take to start seeing the sprouts?

These are mid grade seeds I got from a friend, I'm waiting on my seeds from dr chronic to get here, hopefully they get here next week. I ordered some lowlife autoflower seeds with different phenos, so it should be interesting. But I figured while I was waiting I could mess around with these seeds. Could I give them a little nute to try and jump start growth?

I think I'm gonna go spark one up

Well i just checked my cab for the night and I spotted one little sprout! I'm so excited it's stupid, I can only imagine what happens next. I'll have some new pictures for you tomorrow, after I get my lamps all set.

So my MH bulb came in today but it's not warming up it just stays glowing a little bit. Who can tell me why this is happening?

supermiker · #12 (**permalink**) 06-06-2009, 07:22 PM

Alright no MH bulb, that was my fault. So here's the new light setup for my little ladies. I'd appreciate some input or even criticism.

I just checked the cab for the night and I have two little girls sprouted! Here's some close ups of the two. Such exciting times!

When I woke up this morning I got a call from a friend saying he was bringing me a three week old plant. And when I looked in the cab, I had 5 sprouts up! Good day so far.
