*** I WILL BE POSTING PICTURES UP ASAP!!! ***
ok. so this is my first Grow ever. and my 1st thread as well. ive been reading up on growing weed, especially on this website (which is by far my FAVORITE) for a couple months now.. its kinda sad how much time i spend on this computer looking at the same pictures of the same plants.. and read the same threads over and over. lol. but anywayz...
My plants are just about 2 weeks old now, 13 days old to be exact. i started out with 6 seeds which i got from a bad of some mids that i bought a while ago. i know when it grows its not going to be anything THAT good, but im still a little nervous to buy seeds online.. (if anyone has any sites theyve ordered from and recommend PLEASE let me know). so i started out with 6 seeds. only 4 made it. the other two didnt even sprout. so i threw them away. and right now i have them in my closet on top of a fold up table. they are in Dunkin Donuts cups. i cut down the cups (because they were X-Large) to about 3 1/2 inches and i poked plenty of decent size holes in the bottom for drainage.
Then i filled them with a mix of some cheap soil i bought at Family Dollar and Schultz Premium Potting Soil. The cheap soil looks like dirt.. but holds the moisture pretty well... but the Schultz soil wouldnt hold the water at all. so i decided to just mix them together.
For plant nutrients im using the Miracle Grow Single Packets. its 24-8-16 and it sais to add 1 packet to a gallon of water. i know your supposed to start off at 1/2 strength or some people said 1/4 strength. i went with 1/2 strength. and i water them with the nutrient water once every 3 days. i have to water them every day.. but i use spring water in between using the nutrient water.
I have the cups sitting in an aluminum container that you would use for like a cookout or something like that. for lights... im kinda doin it the ghetto way because i dont have the money to buy any HPS lights..
Sooo right now i have 3 - 23 watt Daylight CFL's. and one 100 watt daylight bulb (the regular looking light bulb, not sure what you would call them) i have 2 of them hanging from a rod, 1 of them is a desk lamp that i have sitting on the table and facing down on the smaller plant, and the other is a clamp type lamp, that i have facing the plants.
They all have a few sets of leaves now. theres 3 that are about4 inches long and the other is about 2 1/2. ummmm... ok. i think thats about it.. if anyone has any questions or tips PLEASE let me know. and again..
