Long time smoker ,first time grower here . Finally in a position to try my hand at growing a few plants for my own use so iv took the plunge and iv got my self some seeds. 5 Strawberry pie by fast buds .
Il be growing them in doors in/with the following
1.2m x 1.2m tent
600 watt hps @18/6
100 mm inline ram fan + carbon filter
6 inch clip on ram fan
12 litre fabric pots
Coco coir + 20% perlite
General hydroponics Flora trio
Cal mag
Tap water left to de-chlorinate with no pump
About 5 days ago I started to germinate my seeds using the paper towel method. The seeds have germinated slowly and at different times . I think this was because the ambient temperature in my house was too low . Anyway I planted the first of the seeds a few days ago and it popped its head on the the 20/2 the next seed popped up on 21/2 . Another was planted in the coir today and 2 more are still in the paper towel. I think I fucked up a lie but they all seem to be germinatin so I think I got away with it .
Seems to be going well so far but I'm having problems with temperature already . My thermometer is reading 30 degrees C when the lights are on. Iv got my extraction fan on full but It doesn't seem to be doing it . I'm venting into the same room so I'm going to extend the ducting out and see what difference it makes. Seem strange I'm having troubles when its 10 degrees outside maybe 15 in the house . God knows what il do in the summer. Anyway fingers are crossed and I'm optimistic wish me luck
