My first attempt at a grow

Sorry fellas, always forgettin' the pictures. Got a digital camera, thought the pictures woulda turned out a lot clearer. Oh well

there looking good dude!

looking good

I jus started my 1st grow..more of a learning process but hoping to get some smoke outta it..right now im in seedling stage with a 24 watt cfl practically touching the plant, and a fan on low..does this sound good???

any updates

Wow. Seems like forever since i've logged on. Something extremely strange happened today. I went to work this morning at 8, checked on the ladies right before I left, and everything was normal. I got home at 3, and like everyday, first thing I do is check the girls. Off the bat, I did not see the beam of cfl glow from the bottom of the closet. I thought maybe the lights had shorted the outlet. I opened the door and the plants had been halfway dug up, and laying on their sides. Now, I live alone, and no one, except for you cool dudes, knows about the girls. The closet door was still shut when I got home, and all the house doors and windows were locked. It blew my mind, I have no idea what could have happened. This is one for CSI, lol.

Anyway, here's a rundown of the past 9 days. The brown spots turned out to what I believe is nute burn. Definatly fertilized too soon. Also, I was watering a little too frequently for the size of the plants, that is now corrected though. The one thing that seems to be getting me is the lights. The plants keep growing different directions, hopefully I can get it corrected. The plants are looking by far their worst, thanks to the mystery garden invader. I was worried about the plants even surviving. After I carefully repotted the plants, the plants began to wilt and look rough, however they now look to have rebounded. Heres some pictures, sorry for the wait in the update.

Plant 1 is the first picture. She started out great, then had the first signs of nute burn, and then was confused by the lights which stunted its growth. Plant 2 quickly caught up and surpassed 1, however it too began to show signs of nute burn. Both are putting out new growth at most all nodes, so they appear to be doing alright. This is day 19, for all those keepin count. Let me hear any and all suggestions, cause i damn sure need em!

Yea dude, I'm no expert but it sounds about right. I'd probably add another 24 watt cfl. Make sure they are the 6500k (daylight) ones. Also, keep them about an inch from the plant, just make sure the new growth sprouting from the top is not burned. Thanks for checkin out the journal dude

Yea man tell me about it. I'm 100% positive nobody knows. The only logical explanation I can think of is that the lights just shorted out, and some small animal/insect crawled up into the pot and dug them up, although there was no trace of an animal. Its just a very weird coincidence that both would happen in the same afternoon. If it were someone breaking in looking to steal them, I doubt they would've left them laying there, plus they missed my ps3 and tv that are in the same room lol. Needless to say, im baffled.

i think you have an intruder!

are the plants ok? thats really freakin wierd

thats lookin pretty healthy to me

if it happens again or if you can afford it i would set up a hidden camera or something.

lol when you opened the door and they were dug up and shit and you realized someone might have broken in, i bet you looked behind you superfast lmfao.
