So far so good, the ladies are starting to take off! Lowered the lights to 20in. No nutes, yet. Faint smell when I open the grow room.
Also a little more about my setup. I chose a small storage area under my basement stairs to do this grow very discreetly. Sawed a fresh air intake hole as well as an exhaust vent, and built a plywood door to seal the room shut. Stapled up some mylar sheeting all around. I actually bought a vivosun zipper kit and partitioned part of the room for storage of my supplies and eventually drying.
I'm in the midwest, and it's really cold, like below zero overnight, and it's been impossible to maintain the temp and humidity without running a space heater and humidifier. I already had the space heater on hand, as well as an outdoor timer(I run for 5 min every 15 min to keep a temp around 75f). The humidifier was an amazing amazon purchase, keeping the humidity around 70 week one, and now down to 45 week 2. I imagine I will be able to remove this as my plants get bigger, and run the space heater less once the temp outside warms up a bit.
Lastly, I bought a camera to monitor my grow space remotely. I thought this would be great so I can stop impatiently checking the room every 15 minutes. I also threw my temp/humidity monitor within eyesight so I can just see it on the camera app. I also have a timelapse set up but we will see if it actually works. The cam is Wyze brand and cost me $22. A little wonky sometimes but great purchase so far!! Glad to answer any questions you all have for me about my setup.
Ladies looking good early on. Happy and healthy from what I can see. Nice work. Keep doing what you've been doing and best of luck with the rest of the ride growmie.
@Locnar2112, spent lots of time on the internet and you wont fund a more loving and supportive community than the online growing one. Everyone in here has been nothing but kind respectful and helpful. Glad I can say welcome to the family.
@Denzul, thanks I truly appreciate the kind words! Somewhat paranoid with this first grow and I'm so glad I found this community for this kind of encouragement :)
