Strain: Random Bagseed. Soil mix: 50/50 coir/baccto brand soil/perlite/Dr.Earth premium all purpose fertilizer/gypsum. Grow container: 2 gallon plastic grow bags. Temp: supplemental. Air circulation: none (currently). Lighting: 2, 4 foot, 80 watt, dual T-12 bulbs in the ''cool" spectrum (6500Kelvin). Water source: municipal; aerated and dechlorinated using a small water pump and air-pump-to bubble-stones in 10 gallon plastic tote for at least 24 hours before being applied to plants.
Update: April 7th, 2019.
Update: 4/16/2019
Got some new hardware. Nothing special, just 4, 4 foot, LED shop lights in the 5000k range that claim to admit 5,000 lumens a piece. Got an extra little oscillating fan, and some T8 warm white bulbs in the 3000k range @ 2975 lumens to throw in the existing shop lights for flowering.
Going to install all the new hardware tomorrow, give them another week, or two before I deciding to either turn these into mothers, or bud them. To be continued.
Update: the following morning (gotta keep it moving, ya know?).
Lights are set up and plants are looking about as good as they can look, in my opinion, for only being grown under 2, 4 foot shop lights.
The extra lighting should give them a nice boost. I am impressed on how bright these LEDs are, and how cool they run. The LED ballasts are delivering 2000 more lumens per ballest for a little over half the watts used. The floros are 80 watts ~ the LEDs; 45 watts.
Fed them for the the first time yesterday, as well using this at half strength:
As soon as the nutes hit the roots, these plants began to stink good like a skunk.
5 dollars for 1, 5 gallon plastic grow container?!? My gosh that's expensive, my friend. Look around on the Internet for a deal, and consider scaling down on the size of the grow container a few gallons to save a few dollars on said grow containers. You only need a gallon of soil per foot of growth, so unless you plan on growing 5-6 foot tall plants; 5 gallons could be overkill. 2 gallon are the size of the plastic grow bags that I am using.

Lorax anthrax, if I decide to mother them out; I will definelty be needing to transplant into bigger pots.
