New Grower What a Feeling!

[oldboy]

Hi All,

After many, many years thinking about it, I finally did it. I sowed my first seed.

To celebrate I thought id join my fist ever forum and post my first ever thread.
I’ve really enjoyed reading about other people’s experiences and hope to share my journey with you in the hope of gaining knowledge and guidance.

I must say that already (its only been three days) I feel giddy with excitement. Its hard to stop Myself from checking on it every hour when I’m home.
It’s a great feeling and I'm really looking forward to the road ahead.

I will post all the details about the equipment and specs and pics along the way, but for now I just wanted to say hi.


Love & Light

Hi All,
Many thanks to everyone for saying hi and making me feel very welcome.


My first grow is indoors. It is a fairly easily controlled room with heating and window access.
The equipment I purchased was.
Tent: DR60 Grow Tent by Secret Jardin 60x60x140 cm

Lights:1 x 125w -6400k White - Blue.
1x 250w -2700k Red

Ventilation:TT100U Inline fan with controller
1x9inch Oscillating Fan

Medium:
Biobizz Light soil

Nutrients
Biobizz Grow/Bloom
1x 8ltr pot

Strains/Reason:
Speed Devil 1:- I was intrigued when I read reports of a cheese and yeast:
I Don’t recall smoking cheesy pot before....another first....

I have the fan outside of the tent in a box I put together. It muffles the sound really well. I have the output hose going through the ceiling into the attic.
I decided to soak the seed it in ph water and put in a cool place. (after reading about this on AFN)

Three days later I saw the white root. The seed then went into the watered soil( ph6.5ish) under the 125w CFL. I have the fan on and the TT set to turn on when the room reaches 23c. The temperature of the room is currently around the 22-23c It goes up a little when the house heating is on. (Where I live it’s on allot)

Questions: The whole air extraction subject is still a little confusing for me.

How often should the air be exchanged within the tent?

Should I have the TT set to come on at a lower temperature?

Or set to be constantly on?


I hope my waffle has found you all in good forum.




Ill leave you with a quote from one of my all time great smoking buddy films.


“My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.”
“God darnit, Mr. Lamarr, you use your tongue prettier than a twenty dollar whore.”
