Lighting Closet Grow | Fast & Vast | Dinafem White Widow | Mars Hydro LED Reflector | Soil

[MooseKnuckle]

I guess I'll pop my cherry with my first post on my first indoor LED grow.

I have been a farmer since childhood. I have worked lettuce fields, pecan orchards, peach orchards, oat fields, corn fields and more.

All cannabis grows to this point have been guerrilla style outdoor grows. This is my first indoor grow.

This is more of a log for me, feel free to follow along. ALL suggestions welcome.

Here is my Closet build. In the following posts I will add pictures of the progress so far.

Closet Setup | Ducting and Fan Work | Seeding Fast & Vast

Here was the closet setup. It happened in stages.

I prepped the soil 1 week in advance, 25% Perlite and 75% Fox Farms Ocean Forrest.

You will see my homemade humidifier I built with a bucket, T-Shirt and fan while I shopped for a good humidifier.

All the ducting runs through the attic into the next rooms closet.

Day 15 | Fast & Vast

Here are some pictures of day 15. I accidentally knocked over one of the plants while watering, the water hit it so hard from the top it bent over. I have propped it back up with soil, hopefully she will recover, she is my biggest plant.

The plants seem to be growing nicely. They like the LED lights so far. No stretching or wilting.

Out of the 4 seeds planted, only 3 popped. I dug up the 4th in hopes of salvaging.

Nice start you have going. I like how you kept track of the overhead. It really adds up to way more than i thought when I started my grow about the same time as yours. Good luck and I'll be watching.

I have the carbon filter on the inside of the grow area to filter out the smell. It sucks the air through the carbon filter and dumps it into a closet in another room.

New air is sucked in through a regular vent filter through the wall into the closet from another room.

i thought you have the extractor sucking the air out feeding to the filter outside of the room ....?

Nice setup! That price sure does add up quick lol. I hope I didn't spend that much when I did my first grow.
