Hey everybody..first time grower here, my set up isnt all that great, about 3.5 ft. high by 1.5 by 1.5 in a grow box..i have one seedling in there right now a fan out the back side and a 100 watt blue halogen light, i know, the halogen light blows but im getting a few fluoros i think prob 1 warm white 1 or two cool white..its a basement grow and i hope to god no one in my family smells or finds it, this grow probably wont work cuz of the seed im using among other things but im heading up to canada next weekif anybody knows any good seed banks or suggestions for a strain or where to get some good bud up there for that matter please let me know..any suggestions would be greatly appreciated for the grow also..im such a newb...damn PEACE
definitely get some cfl's and get rid of the halogen asap. the plant will start to smell after a while so make sure you have a carbon scrubber or ozone generator or something like that so you don't stink up the house. use a fan for air circulation. never been to canada so no idea about that. have fun!
Are you still in veg? You're going to want some 6500k aka daylight bulbs. The warm and soft whites are for flower. Also, try to get 50 watts per plant while vegging then 100 while flowering.
thanks guys, yeah i'm only on day three and it hasn't sprouted yet but im still hopin for the best ive only got the one plant in there though so just one 50 watt cfl should be good? and about the smell, its in an airtight trunk way back in my basement..well not exactly airtight cuz of the cut out for the fan and a few drilled holes for circulation...my budget is kinda tight but i know ya dont really wanna get caught by havin somebody smell it so whats that ozone generator contraption you speak of?
CFLs might be to hot stick with reg fluoros get some duct fans from home depot and put one in each side ozone generator produces o3 which gets rid of smells you can just pick carbon filter from home depot and get a fan to push air into it it will rid you of smells you want to keep the humidity about 50% and temp around 70-82f get something to measure temps and humidity halogen will not grow MJ you want to pack it with as many fluoros as you can and still keep it in a good temp range 3.5 might not be tall enough I would do 12/12 from seed if I were you get a timer for the lights and plug a surge protector in and plug your lights in do 12 hours on 12 hours off when it is in the dark cycle do not let any light get in that means no peaking! what soil are you using? add 30% perlite to your soil hope this helped -h4l
yeah i emailed the owner of that place good call dude thanks.. -as far as the grow goes i went to lowes oday and 80 dollars later i have a timer, hygrometer, ph tester, 4 23 watt cfls,and a buncha other shit..if m plants survive im gonna get a scrubber..i just got 5 more seeds today so im hopin ill be able to have at least one plant to harvest when this attempt is all said and done
Hey man It's true, you must ditch the halogen. Our grows are very similar. check mine out for ideas. Also check out the odour netralizer to solve your odour problem. You're gonna need alot more than 1 cfl as your plants get older.
yo man good call with that odorizer contraption, sounds like it'll work too..im gonna have to give it a shot..growing nuggets is fun!
Once you're in Toronto hit the subway, On the map, look for young and wellesley, I think it's a stop. Wellesely is anyway, I know that. once you get there, you can head towards young. You'll be able to see it on the map, or if all else fails, once you're on wellesly ask someone which direction young st is
my bad good call though..alright thanks, if we go that way ill def hit it up..maybe goin to montreal though who knows
