So ive been growing for over 30 years,started in the wilds of ontario growing outdoor for years(fucking loved every minute of it!!!)got domesticated and started growing indoors in my early 30's.i took 5 years off when it went legal,but my green thumb is itching and its time to get r done again!.
I always jerry rig a room up like a typical redneck,but this time i spent some green on some new equipment and will be going all organic in a 4x4x1' raised bed with pre ammended gaia green,kelp,and some other organic goodies.there will be no drainage in this grow at all.just water with earerated teas to feed and water.i have csi chemdog d,flight risk and chem 91 x chem d about 12 days from seed now under 6400k led lights,7 seedlings in total.
I bought a floraflex 730 watt led fixture,a 4x6x7' tent with a 4x4 flower area and a 1x4 little veg area as well which is a bonus,$120 from amazon,gotta love'em!
Ordered a new t3 humidifier a couple 9" floor fans amd a bar mount fan,trellis netting......what else???im really high right now...lol
I already mixed up my seedlings and dont know which is which,all good,i love surprises.
Im 51,with early onset ailstimers so this should be interesting.. ..
Over the next few weeks i will post as i get the room going and set up.......whos in?

I took out the led,it was literally kilking my plants!!i cant believe that light can actually kill plants,but it happened!i have had them under 600 watt hps.it took 5 days,but they are starting to come back....what a waste of $650!!ill never use led again,i dont know why so many people endorse it.im an old dog and im not learning all over again,no way!organic and hps are just easy and simple the way i like it.im wondering when i should flio,im sure it will be a nightmare cause there are 3 different strains to scrog....but,ill get r done.i think ill wait a few days to flip,let them fill in just a bit more
