Hey everyone!! First time grower here and so happy to have found this site! I will be updating this quite a bit to show my first time grow as it becomes a "Sea of Green". So here is the run down:
I started with some random seeds a friend gave me, put them in a wet napkin to see if they would sprout and grew into this little grow op. At first I just put the seeds in my regular (from garden) soil and had them under 6 40w florescents. The plants did ok but then started reading... After two weeks I had nine little plants that were doing ok. I then put them into gallon containers w/ miracle grow 3 month nutrition potting soil. Wow oh wow they started to do much better and I snipped all of the dead parts and leaves off. Since I am going for a sustained grow and not a large grow, I am vegging them for 2-4 weeks under florescents (24hrs)and then flowering them at 12/12 under a 400w hps. Keeping small plants that rotate quickly, my idea is to have 2-3 plants ready every 3 weeks (3 rows of 2-3 female plants with a 9 week flower cylcle). Every 3 weeks I hang the ready ones up and then bring 2-3 plants from the veg room over (clones or from seed but once i get it going will have mother plants). I seem to have the heat controled with a small occilating fan and then a 4in duct fan in my light hood exhausting directly outside, with my intake coming from house a/c. Planning on sealing everything in with plastic and curtains to keep clean but not there yet (closet greenhouse).
At the moment I have these 6 plants under the 400w, plants 1-5 have been in there for 4 weeks and I brought plant 6 from the veg room a week ago. They have been under a ton of stress (being my first grow) but now that I am settled (before i was in the hot garage and now have a pemenant set up in my closet) seem to be doing great. But I dont know what I am doing so please help! Here are my questions:
1) Can you tell if these are male or female yet? if so can you help!
2) How do they look? Do they look ok?
3) Should I be misting them with water?
4) Do you think this will work?
5) Any tips or problems you see?
Any feedback would be amazing!!!! Thank you for your help and have a beautiful day!!!!
