    Walk's First Grow!

    Haven't updated in a while. Plants a few weeks in: Had a little N deficiency but through the use of the forums FAQs I figured it out, remedied by my moms Schults 10-10-10 plant food @ 1/4 strength. Put them into flower two weeks ago, here's a pic from 2 days ago: Started to (super-low)LST...

    The light isn't too far, maybe not far enough. I'd keep a close eye on your temps with that running. Especially with the econowing goin on there, without any airflow that room is going to hit 90 without a problem. Lookin good so far man, keep it up

    Walk's First Grow!

    Didn't check on these babies in a few days, and I was pleasantly surprised when I looked in today and saw this! :shock:(they had 4 leaves when I checked them last; 2 days ago) Not a very good pic, but it's with the phone so whatever.:weed: Been doin some research on my strain, Northern Lights...

    Walk's First Grow!

    Opened the grow room today and was pleasantly surprised, got a lot of leaf growth and they are starting to get a little thicker and don't look as flimsy! :bigjoint: Here's the pics! I started misting with ph'd water + some liquid seaweed I got from the hydro shop, the dude said foliar...

    Walk's First Grow!

    Alright, here's some pics of right after watering! Temps hit 65F at night, fans turn off right when lights do. The first pic seems like he's alright, 2nd is the one whose roots got ripped during transplant, so she looks good considering, 3rd still has the seed on that right leaf, but...

    Walk's First Grow!

    Not sure what you mean? I have a 280cfm fan exhausting from my cooltube, intake from the room. Also have a 80cfm fan exhausting from the top of the box. Don't have an oscillating fan yet as walmart, target, best buy, home depot, office depot, and hhgregg all don't have personal fans. But they...

    Walk's First Grow!

    They seem to be loving the new light, and I don't see any signs of transplant shock, but what do I know. All 3 are starting to show signs of their 3rd set of leaves, but there isn't any stem in between sets of leaves.. it's just leaves inside of leaves, is this a problem? They all have turned...

    Walk's First Grow!

    Thanks for the input! I'm kind of surprised they survived too. My jig-saw work isn't very good, along with the fact that their temperatures have been between 90 and 60F throughout their seedling life... Do you think the hps is still too much for them? I have them under it right now and can't...

    Walk's First Grow!

    A lot of the seedlin's had a fair amount of roots, all of them had root showing at the bottom of the plugs, and most of them had 4-5 roots poppin out of the bottom. That and the watering was iffy, I had to water every day, and with the location of my grow room that's a little difficult!

    Walk's First Grow!

    Up-potted the 3 survivors today. They look great. I MIGHT have accidentally ripped the root structure off of one of the plants..... :sad: Not sure how it's going to turn out. I was having problems keeping temps down, but I think I have them under control now. I want to expand to a 4x4 Grow Tent...

    Walk's First Grow!

    Got home from class and went and checked on em, temps seem to be bearable with the max temp being 87, but im still thinking i'm going to have to get an intake on the cooltube, maybe sooner than i thought... or atleast get an intake into the box itself! The 3 I expected to live are looking...

    Walk's First Grow!

    When I returned from work today, to my dismay I saw temperatures of 91F, with the max being 95F. Two of the plants were laying down (anne and ben) after opening the door and turning off the light as temps returned to normal, I went to the local hydro store and picked up a 6" cooltube (paid a...

    Grow Journal Entry 2 - First Grow ever

    Two days for the other seeds? Give them a while man! Nature takes time! I left a seed in my paper towel that I thought was dead and kept it warm and covered and it just sprouted today, even though its companions are ahead of it if it ends up replacing a male I have to pull it'll be worth it...

    How bad will it smell?

    Yes, but not badly until flowering, DIY carbon filter tutorials are everywhere, investing in one will probably be worth your while. You have a little while to get it done though because you won't get massive odor during veg -Walk:leaf:

    Walk's First Grow!

    Quick update, after posting my last update I went and checked temps again and it was high 90's, so I installed a 6" (280cfm) exhaust right at the end of my light to try and suck some air away, it seems to do the job for now but I can't have my oscillating fan on or it stirs the air up so that...

    Walk's First Grow!

    It's been an exciting last couple of minutes! Just got home from class and... my ballast finally came!! :-P (usps blows) Anyways, I hooked up my 600w HPS and plugged her in to see what temps were like with it running.. I'm sitting at 72F with it and the floros on, so I'm just going to take the...

    where do i start

    You might want to start savin up my man, I was in the same place you were a few months back, been savin up and I just planted my babies 3 days ago. At the very least (assuming you can build your own box, proper ventilation from comp fans laying around, your moms potting soil, and a few pots)...

    having seed troubles!!!

    That shouldn't burn the sprouts but its going to dry the top of your soil a lot so make sure you don't over-water, make sure it really needs water before you give it any! Also you may want to get a humidity dome to keep the moisture up for your seedlings. It also gives you a kind of guide for...
