Looks good mate.
If you need any info just let us know.
And check the link in my thread for terms in things, like when you say humid, you're referring to the rH (relative humidity), it's easier to just type rH or rh or RH, 95% of people will know what you're talking bout, if they don't, they shouldn't be giving you advice haha.
P.S - The last pic there, the plant is showing some signs of over watering. Just be careful how much you water/feed. Remember to let the soil dry out a bit right to the bottom of the pot, not just the surface of the soil.
Some of the most common mistakes are feeding and watering too much too soon.
Other than that it looks great mate, keep it up.

The last picture was seconds after watering. I usually water every 2 days until it drips. I use distiled water because the tap water is so hard. Thanks for the suppodrt. I will update more pics as progres continues. Sorry about the rh still a noobie.

No problem bout the rh haha.
And when I say it looks over watered, it's because see how the leaves are curling under, almost like a 'claw', that's a key sign of over watering, it's nothing to do with water being on the leaves, that's not a problem as long as you've got ventilation and circulation.

Well it has been a while since my last post. It is day 22 of veg my baby is about 11" very bushy! I am attaching pics. It is a dark dark green. I have on 2 seperate ocasions sprinkled 2 pinches of blood meal 12-0-0. After more careful inspection that is the point of the blood meal and ading nitrogen to soil.

Pay attention. If you can notice a problem early you can fix it before it shuts down your operation. Make sure you never water more than every other day at the earlyest. And no nutes intil 2-3 weeks into flowering with mg potting soil. You definatly need to pic up a hps light to flower. Other than that, good drainage and a proper sized pot. You can skate by until you learn the details at your own pace. I am still a newbie but I have done a lot of homework and I am still learning more than I ever thought I would. Good Luck Bro!

You grow is looking good man. you should get a Metal Halide bulb though for veg. MH is more on the blue spectrum stimulating stronger growth, a thicker stem, and more nodes on your plant. HPS is on the red spectrum stimulating bud production. HPS will do the job but not as well. Also make sure to check your soils ph. you want it around 7.

The strain is unknown. I got it out of a bag og local zugz. I am using shultz poting mix plus. I am using distiled water only because of the crapy time release nutes. I will be giving them technaflora bloom nutes 2-3 weeks into flowering. I have added 2 pinches of high yield blood meal 12-0-0. It is what s giving my plant that dark green color. MH, I was wondering why it was going so slow. My buddy stared the same time as me and they look taller than mine, growing at a faster rate. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks man... I'm also learning a ton here too. I'm thinking about getting a grow tent soon which i'm pretty excited about but yeah i'll definitely look into the hps lighting, Looking forward to see your progress man.

Can I go cheap for blue light? Would it be sufficient to drop some cfls in for added blue?
