Long time lurker, first time poster/grower.
Not a whole lot of details regarding the equipment. Mainly using what I had laying around. I'm not trying to overthink this, so I have not paid any attention to pH, soil comp, etc.
Soil - Universal potting soil found at local store. Looks like a combo of soil, sphagnum moss, etc.
Seed - ILGM Northern Lights Auto
Water - Tap water from the faucet.
Nutrients - Generic plant nutrients from the local store. NPK of 6-3-6 for veg, and 3-2-5.5 for flowering.
Lights - 2 85W CFLs meant for photography.
Location - A 60L black trash can
Ventilation - 2 small USB computer fans in the lid blowing out, and passive vent holes towards the bottom.
Germinated the seed in a cup of water on Jan 20. After a few days, when the taproot was showing, planted it into the pot (not sure on size, maybe 5L). On Jan 23, the pot was accidentally knocked over and the seedling was replanted. The next day it sprouted from the soil, so that's my day 1. So, right now I'm 54 days into the grow. Flowering is going pretty strongly, and it is a big, healthy plant. Will post photos later, once I get a chance to access the grow area and snap a few shots.
For the majority of the grow, the lights were on a 18/6 time cycle. At some point in the flowering stage, can't remember why, it was switched to 12/12. The plant seems to be doing fine, so I'm going to leave it at that until the end.
Had one small fungus gnat issue a few weeks back. Took care of it by drying out the soil and then following that with two applications of H2O2. They haven't been back since.
