Hello everyone, well I am starting my very first grow ever, I have no Idea what im really doing. Thanx to the laws in the state I live in they do not allow dispesnerys. So i've opt'd to grow my own plants. I would very much appreciate any help you experianced growers have out there. Thats for you guys this ones for me . I am very inexperianced when i comes to growing stuff, I can barely grow tomato plants wich i have started as well. They are doing really good per haps i may have underestimated my self. But thats a differnt topic! Anyways..So let me update you guys on whats happing with my babies since I am starting this jounal a little late. I started to germinate a my one and only precious seed from some bombdiggity (I dont knwo what strain but it was some gooooood stuff) So I let that germinate for 10 days AND......nothing ever happend . I gave up on it. So I got 5 seeds from some junk pot I had laying around and using the paper towel technique I sucsessfully got one to pop. Instantly I got excited and was jumping for joy any was I planted the germinated seed on 04/19/09 in a 3" pot I put "her" (I hope) under 6 26 watt 6500k CFL's in a medium that I mixed 50% Miracle Grow Moisture Control and 50% Worm castings. She seemed to love it. Like I said I am very new to this and I've been researching growing cannabis for like a month straight now. So any Criticisim I am very open too. I also started another seedling in a Jiffy Greenhous thing In a Jiffy Peat pellet. This one popped up QUICK! So on 04/25/09 I transplanted both my first....Hell lets name them right now. My first one which is the one to the right in the photos is gonna be Named Big Betty, the Little skinny one to the right is gonna be Little Sue. So I transplanted big betty because I was getting paranoid that, that little pot was going to be to small becasue her growth started going really really slow, or maybe im just impaitent anyways to I mixed a Medium of 10% Miracle Grow, 40% worm castings 25% Perlite and 25% Vermiculite. This is my expermental mixture like I said I have no idea what Im really doing here. I put the Medium Mixture into two 25cm pots and gave them a good soaking. Then I transplanted both Big betty and Little Sue in them. I havnt waterted them since, I have read cannabis doesn't like too wet of roots. I do mist them once a day though. The medium is still moist about 3" down. When should I water these ladies? Big Betty is showing droopy leaves and a little bit of yellowing around the edges but she is still growing seems slow 10 days but maybe i need to learn to be more patient. Little Sue is shooting up like a rocket she has a little bit of stretch but im sure she will be fine. I keep the Lights about 2" aways from the lights and the grow room temperature fluxuates between 72 degrees and 35% RH with the lights off to 87 degrees and 20% RH with the lights on. but other then that the seem to be doing fine. Here is some photos of them. How do they look? Do not be fooled how high the lights are they raise when i open my Grow box.
