hey guys, well i'm finally able to start my first indoor grow, i've been waiting a long time!

i don't have much money so i'm keeping it simple.

the seeds came from some pretty decent bud i had over the summer. they are already growing very well!

i will be using fluorescent lights throughout the whole grow. (i'm broke)





i posted in indoor growing and haven't had much response

heres the link

heres some more pics i took tonight

i added 3 42w 2700k from home depot yesterday

plus the 3 30w 2700k

a 15w gro lux tube cfl
and 2 other cool white tube cfls. 15w i think? they dont say..

so i have my 2 females, plus 4 other little ones that haven't shown their sex yet

i also have 3 more bagseeds germinating that came from some really nice bud.

everybody is on 12/12

i am putting 4 drops of shultz 10-15-10 in a half of liter of distilled water

things are getting a bit hot since i added the 3 42w. i need to find another fan!

well good start. im no expert but the leaves in some pics looked to be twisting a little and some new growth tips browning just a little. is that because the 10-15-10? I know i over did the nute at two weeks in from clones at 900 ppm and got burn in two days but im back on track. the color is nice. good so far i will sub and watch for results. good luck

looks pretty good man
make sure you keep those cfls close, i cant stress enough how important that is to people who grow for first time
but yours look great at this point no discoloration and pretty green
the young ones look a little stretched try and keep um closer

good luck ;)

thanks guys, the leaves on one of the females are a little disformed because i fimmed it a while ago. it also has a little bit of nute burn as jaxon said, i gave it strait water tonight.

the cfls have been as close as possible, but i pulled them away for the pics. some of the burning is from one of the 42w lol

my tap water was over 300 ppm so adding any nutes jumped it up and i payed for it. but i got a ppm ph tds ec combo meter and an r/o system and i can dial in well now. all together it ran about $400 with a light meter. good investment to not loose everything down the road

$400 :oi can barely afford to buy weed!!
i think i will have to do without one of those..
i'm using distilled water from the grocery store as well. i didn't want to use tap water

thanks for all the feedback, i will keep updating and taking lots of pics if everyone will be following along

well it looks like my current fan set up will do the job. its now staying about 85.
i had to re arrange some tin foil to get better airflow

try to get it down to 79 and below it could cause issues but all plants are different. $400 is all of it but if you can produce 2 more oz's with the right equip it pays for itself the first tim and then its worth its weight inn gold. the meter was $99 it was the r/o that was pricey but if you are buying water or have filtered water then your set. the light meter was to set the desired foot candles. you can add lights as you go as seen fit so no biggie but a ec tester and ph is good to have even the strips to test your runoff.

they don't seem to mind the higher temps, i've been trying to find another fan so i can add more lights

i will definitely be getting all that stuff in the future, this is just the beginning! plus i'm broke right now!
