First Indoor Grow
    #351738 - 01/22/10 12:23 AM (14 years, 11 months ago)

Ive decided to give my brother a hand with his first indoor grow and figured I would document it here and ask questions as he runs into any problems

Today I went to his place and we finished building the closet which is 4'x 2'x 6'

There are maybe 12 seedlings that made it and will be placed under the light starting some time this weekend

I will post updates and pictures as I get the chance. I appreciate any tips and suggestions

Here is the closet with a nifty heavy plastic sheet door:



Here are the seedlings in dixie cups before he placed them in the closet:

Built the cabinet out of 4'x'8 particle board

The door was made out of 3.5mil thick painters plastic. There are actually 3 layers. Without the light in it, the closet actually doubles as a glove box as well :crazy2:

The seedlings will be moved until the light today, the light should be setup today

The light is a 400w Galaxy digital balast with both HPS and MH bulbs

Strain is AK47 x Sour Diesel

The inside is coated with sealer/ primer, white reflective paint

The light hasnt even been mounted yet, those were just pictures of the seedlings. They havent even opened their first set of leaves yet

Ventilation will be an air duct of some sort and a fan inside the grow closet to keep constant air flow

Pictures of the finished closet will come when I get a chance to get back over to my bros place

So they should have been germinated inside the growing closet under the 400w light?

We'll see how they do after a week under the new light, if they dont start to improve then I will start back over

Im not sure how many seeds he has though

Ah, I see. So I should have either germinated them under no light at all, just normal room lighting OR under weak bulbs with the bulbs close to the seedlings

OK, I will probably have him scrap the skinny long seedlings and start over.

He might germinate them under the 400w just because I dont know what other space he would use to do it

Thanks for the tips. We are both hoping this first grow is a success. I am heading to home depot in a bit to pick up a fan, light timer, air duct, and a couple other goods

Here are new pictures from today. Im going to add a black sheet to the front to cut down on the amount of light getting out

Only concern is the light burning either the wall or the plastic. It is touching both. More worried about the plastic obviously. Im testing it out now

My brother picked out and bought the light

We still need to build a carbon scrubber but it's pretty much done.

The seedlings have been placed in the closet. We will see if they improve in the next 3-4 days. If not I will start back from at the beginning

Here's the seedlings now placed inside the closet. I have a fan running 24/7 on low to keep air moving

Im going to give them a couple of days and if not scrap them.

I am going to wait on some more feedback and if not then that might be the way to go

If he decides to just plant a new batch of seeds, could germinate them in the same pots that he intends to grow them in?

Thanks, makes sense

That said I will probably transplant them into their growing pots with more soil sometime this weekend :thumbup:

The seedlings all died. Not sure if it was from the transplant, maybe over watering, or maybe the move into the grow closet was too intense

Anyways new seeds have been placed in jiffy pots. I raised the light up a bit. Hopefully they sprout and hold up better than the first round

If not its back to the drawing board.

Definitely, this first run is mainly a learning experience. Hopefully these second batch pop their heads out

If not im going to try germinating in some paper towel

My brother isnt the smartest dude. I think the closet might not be getting enough fresh air or something

He runs a fan 24/7 (box fan) and then just has a 4''x4'' square cut at the top where the air duct fits in

I think he's going to try germinating the rest of the seeds and if those dont work it will be back to the drawing board
