My uncle and me were talking about growing under lights in the grocery store one day, when I said you could grow under those new twisty lights(CFL's). "I bet you can't. Aything worth smoking that is" were the next words out of his mouth. That was the begining of this grow and bet.
The Bet=a new quad-core computer for me against 1lb of top colas from this years harvest outside.
I was not allowed to write anything or ask advice until everything was built and in service.
The Rules
1:Only light bulbs available in the local grocery stores
2:2000 to 4000 max lumens per square foot
3:Set up a cloning area,veg area and flowering area
4:Have to use store bought soil
5:Have to use store bought Fertilizers
6:Have to start from seed, take clones and harvest seedlings and clones all under CFL's only
7:For safty all light fixtures can be bought at lowes or hardware store(light sockets, fans electrical
wires etc.)
8:Can not take clones longer than 3 inches
9
lants have to be 12 inches tall to put into flowering
10:1 plant has to be reveged
The cloning area is 9"x9"x10" it is the cubby hole in a waterbed headboard with 1 6700k 1700L CFL's
The veg room is 16"x48"x48" with 9 6700k 1700L CFL'S and 3 fans (1 in/1 out and 1 on plants)
The flowering room is 26"x52"x72" with 14 2700k 1650L CFL's and 2 40watts T8 48' 2700k 4000L and 5 fans (2 in/2 out and 1 on plants)
The soil is Permier Pro-Mix BN 85% peat/ 15% vermiculite and perlite
The fertilizers are Neptune's Harvest Fish and Seaweed
2-3-1 for veg and 2-4-1 for flowering
Superthrive will be use also.
Water is Distilled
I have two strians of Purple Bud a F1 and F2 that will be use for this grow
Seedlings are 10 days old in pictures and 1 is a tripold seeds started 4/24/09
