What up AFN fam and thanks for peepin the thread! Well, the time has come, my first grow. Before I start I want to do some quick shout outs to thesquid, wg, muddy, goauto, jm, slightly, and pretty much just everyone else on here. You guys are the BOMB!! So this will be my first of many journals to come. Since im pretty new and im sure ill have lots of questions and concerns during the grow but im looking forward to crossing that bridge with yall when I get there. I will try to be as thorough as possible and take tons of pics, I will be shooting for updates every 3-4 days at the least..i feel like obi-wan right now, and all you guys are my qui-gon jinns...SO! this is kind of my dry run, life threw me a curve ball and of course ill just have to adapt and overcome. So my solution to the curve ball, im going to start with the bare minimum, and add on along the way, since im balling on a budget i dont have a tent at the moment, im crossing my fingers that the smell dont kick in til after next month when i purchase my secret jardin, LED's, and filter 
we'll see how that goes. so without further adieu here i go....
The Ladies:
00 Seeds Auto Bubble Gum Fem (mary kate)
Genehtik AK Auto (ashley)
at the moment i am using 2x 100 watt energy smart CFL's (jeremy hasnt got back to me about my MS0006 so im waiting for them to get in stock, if not, next month i will go with Gotham LED)
My grow space is just an average closet i would say about 5 1/2 ft x 2 ft and plenty high, maybe 8 or 9 ft.
For water, im using a 5 gallon cooler sitting out with an air pump for fish tanks that i got at wally world so its fizzin in the corner. (ph meter is ordered and coming in the mail this week)
FoxFarm Ocean Forest potting soil (ordered and should be here any day now)
5 gallon smart pots
Jiffy seed starting mix
The temps in my closet are between 77-82 degrees and the humidity is 31-40%
Initially i was going to go with only one girl but i decided 2 is better cuz shizz happens right
so Mary Kate had about a 48 hour head start on Ashley. I planted them both directly into the soil (didnt pre soak), i had run water through before to make sure it was nice and moist. Mary Kate was put in the dirt Thursday, and low and behold, this morning (5/6) when i woke up she poked her little head up so ill call this day 1 for her :dance: so now i figure Ashley wont be too far behind. Ill post her pics as soon as she does tho.
so in closing for todays post, like i said im just kind of winging it, i have a list of everything that i need, i.e. im going with foxfarm neutes but i wont get that til later, since the soil will be hot for a month right, the tent, fan/filter, diy co2 gen, ect...ill be on it later when i have the extra cash, i really dislike being broke
again, thanks for stopping by, be sure to get subbed, enjoy the good vibes and ill catch yall on the flip side....pokalolo out....for now....
