Hello Everybody!! This is my first grow and first forum that I have decided to share with everyone. A little about what I have going on so far....

Decided to grow indoors and out this year and decided to clear out an old ice to make an attempt to grow inside. Had a bagseed from some chronic bud I got couple months back and decided to try and grow it. It is growing quite nicely so far with a short bushy stature. Cannot tell if it is female or male yet but pretty sure it is a female.

After this started growing I got the green fever and bought a few seeds online including autoflowers. I have growing an Auto Pounder (Auto Seeds), White Widow (Vision Seeds), Royal Bluematic (Royal Queen Seeds). They have been growing quite nicely are being moved from indoors to outside to get fresh air and sunlight.

There are 7 CFL bulbs in my ice chest 6 6500k and 1 2700k all are 1750 lumens each. Seems to put out lots of light as I have gotten a little light burn on a couple of plants. Moved the lights a little further away and had great results. Gets pretty hot inside, even with a nice sized fan blowing inside. No exhaust fan as the inside of the freezer is steel and dont want to cut into it. Keep the door ajar quite often to let fresh air. Getting 20/4 light cycle with half tap and half rain water which is ph stable. Soil is a homemade mix of perlite, sphagnum peat moss and potting soil with light ferts so far. Doing quite well I think. The biggest plant was planted on May 19th and the rest were planted just a couple days ago. What do you all think????

The pics of the plants are today but the cabinet has changed a little bit. (more lights)

Hey Bccrowley

Welcome to the forums ^_^
Looks like you're off to a nice start with that Cab - I'd keep an eye on the heat in there, it usually needs to be sucked out (I have made myself a CFL cab in the past and have learned loads from it).

Good start though - looking forward to seeing these grow ^_^
