  1. This is my first indoor grow, using the corner of my closet. Heres what I have.

    1- 150 watt hps
    5 gallon bucket
    Organic soil from Lowes
    Perlite
    Bagseed
    Fox farms nutes

    This is growing in a 18"x20" cabinet in the corner of the closet. I also installed an 8" fan in the side of the cabinet. Now 16 days old. Just started with nutes yesterday but it didnt look very happy today.

    Just wanted to start a small journal to get any tips or criticisms that may help.

  2. Do you have drain holes in the bucket? How did you mix the nutes?
     
  3. Looking good so far!   Keep in mind that when it's time to kick into 12/12 (flower mode) you won't want light from the room leaking into your grow space.

    Based on the title, you should've posted this in a  sports forum.
     
    or recreation
     
  5. woops meant first obviously. Fixed drainage issues today, after that horrible oversight, by drilling numerous drainage holes in bottom and putting inside of another 5 gallon with hole to check ph in runoff. My thought is I was under watering. As far as nutes I mixed according to the label, 2 tsp nutes to my gallon of distilled. Tested out at 6.2 ph

    I think before I switch to flower I will get some panda film and properly seal it as to prevent light leakage in or out

  6. Or should I have gone weaker on the nutes to start?

  8. Thanks egg man. when would be the best time for me to start nutes? Due to my height restrictions I think I should start flowering when it reaches 20-22". Any help is greatly appreciated

  9. Hi I am starting to grow what should I do hydro or soil or out door.
     
  10. The only problem I see besides the incomplete setup (intake/exaust/lightproofing is mandatory) is the single bag seed. Why waste your time on a unknown crap strain that has a 50/50 shot at being male. use it to gain your expereance while ordering some quality genetics. 
     
  11. Oh your fine with nutes at two weeks too. Just go by the schedule. Itll say how much for seedlings

    Read more.  How can anyone determine the best growing scenario for you, but yourself?
     
    And start your own thread.
     
    Peezy, look into LST (low stress training) technique.  This will allow you to harvest more bud in the small space that you have.  SCROG (screen of green) will also work well in that space.  I prefer LST because you can move the plant around if you have to.  SCROG setups are pretty much non-mobile.
     
  13. Lol I was just ganna say to start a new thread.
     
  14. Ok thank you how can I start my own thread

    Go to the MAIN PAGE for the forum that you wish to post in (absolute beginners, organics, hydro, etc...).  In the upper right hand corner above the listing of threads (lower right hand corner of page as well) is a little green box that says "Start New Topic".  Click on it, and away you go!
