Indoor Cheapo LED's and a handful of seeds

[00biggdogg00]

Hey what's up everyone? Been over in the photo section for a while, as I just finished up a photo grow. Anyhow, I've got a few different autos that are just getting going. I had a few seeds that would be about a week old but mice ate them!!! Dirty mice!!!

So today is day 1 for all my seedlings, and hopefully they make it past the damn mice!! I've got traps, bucket traps, and sticky traps EVERYWHERE!! The following strains have there head above ground as of today: (1) SBR-70 reg from SaH, (1) Cream fem from Blimburn, (1) Original Amnesia fem from Dinafem, (2) White Widow fem from Spliff Seeds. I've got room for 2 more pots (1/2 gallon homemade air pots from sugar container) but I'm not sure what to germ. I've got a few Sweet Skunk beans from Sweet Seeds and I think I may drop 2 this week. Here's the details of the grow:

Lights: (3) 135w UFO LED's, (2) 32w CFL's 6500k for veg, and (2) 42w CFL's 2700k for flower.

Soil: Base soil is ProMixBX, 1/2 gallon of manure compost and humic per every gallon of soil, added perlite, added seed starter, 1/2 tsp of bone meal per every gallon of soil mix, and 1/2 tsp of blood meal per every gallon of soil mix.

Pots: This grow has pots from 3 gallons down to solo cups.

Light schedule: 18/6

Grow space: I'll be growing in an empty closet that measures 28"x28"x84"

Air circulation: For intake I've got (1) 12" round fan that sets at the door (perforated door, air goes through), (2) 5" clip on fan for circulation, and for exhaust I've got (1) 4" Vortex fan mounted on a 24" long carbon filter.

Nutrients: Right now I have General Organic Go Box but I've got a free sample pack of X-NUTRIENTS coming in the mail. I'll let you guys know what exactly I'll be using once I figure it out. Hopefully I'll have some pics up this weekend!!

Thanks for stopping by South Syder and nomis!! :thumbs: I'm hoping this grow takes off now that I've got the mouse problem under ...I hope!! Its definitely going to get a little crowded in there but its nothing I haven't dealt with before. :smoke:

I decided not to germ anything else just because I want to get the full potential out of these babies, and sometimes to much is just to much. Not to mention I also have to keep a humidifier in there this time of year. Everything is just so dry here in winter!!

On another note, I did get some pics at the end of Day 1. I'll try to post some new ones this week.

First group shot! I only have 2 of the LEDs on right now. I'll switch the third one on in a week or two.

Day 7

Well so far, I'm on seedling down. From the start of germination, the SBR-70 was really slow. When the other seedlings were starting on there second set of leaves the SBR-70 barely had one set. Kind of a bummer, I'm not real sure what the problem is. :dunno: I was really excited about popping these seeds since I won them during the Christmas Competition! I've still got beans, just not sure what happened. I may wait to try a few of them this summer...outdoors. This season is going to be an adventure for sure!! "pher Wiggle"

As for the rest of the babies, they're doing great!! The only problem I've really had so far is battling low humidity levels. This week hasn't been to bad as far as temps go. They've been around 20° at night and low to mid 40s during the day. We also got a little rain this week so that helped out some. But the last few weeks have been bitter cold!! Temps haven't really been past 20° during the day and down close to 0° at night!! I've been running a humidifier 24/7 and my rh is still lower than it should be, between 25% and 35%. I'd like it to be up around 50%, as this is where I've had the best luck. I've also been leaving a big cup of water setting between the pops. No pics right now, but everything is starting on there 3rd set of leaves. Hopefully I'll be able to get a few pics this weekend, if not next week for sure!!

I'm an energy saving type of guy and can't stand turning on the humidifier, it runs 130 watts on low for bloom or 265 watts on high for veg. That doubles the electric bill for me in my small closet.

I haven't been running mine long enough to see a different on the bill yet. I guess I'll find out this week sometime when the bill shows up. What do you do to keep your rh up nomis? I'm always down to save a dollar!

OK so I managed to get I few quick pictures today. If you guys have any idea as to what the deal is with the water spots are, let me know!! I don't think I've ever seen them on any of my other plants before. Anyhow here's some pics! :Sharing One:
