Hey RIU community, I've been browsing the site for months planning grow and finally got one going, it's just a little closet grow but it'll be enough to keep me Stoney for awhile if everything goes well.

I have a stealth pc server case with 4 6500K CFL for veg and will have 4 2700K bulbs for flower. I'm running a DWC with fox farm liquid nutrients and going to LST:weed:. They are some blueberry kush seeds that i found in a sack. One is about 2.5 inches tall and the other is about 1.5 inches tall. I'll put some pictures up soon.

It's about a week into the project and both seem to be doing well, I started them yesterday on 30% grow big nutes.

Has anyone done similar grows? If so, what kind of yield did you see?

I think I started one but I'm new to the site so I'm still figuring it out! I'm hoping for quality buds, hopefully I will be able to manage!

Glad to be on the site though and so is my gf. I was driving her nuts with all my weed talk. Haha

Nothing too interesting is going on with the plants today. My temp is 29C (~83F) with a rel. Humidity of 46%, I wish I could have cooler temps but this box runs a little warm. However, I do have a source of CO2.. Yeast and sugar, I have not done the calculations to see how many ppm of CO2 the yeast is generating (probably when the semester starts and I take physical chemistry I will do the calculations) but I know there is a higher amount CO2 than there would be without the glass of yeast and sugar.
The second set of leaves are really starting to get going (4cm long on one and 3cm on the other.) and also one is atleast 5cm taller than the other.

nice man, glad to see you along for the ride HippySmoke!

i wish i could grow more, but right now i'm only able to grow this. i'm feeling rather confident but hopefully i'll get a good yield. i'd like to stay stoney quite awhile while i'm taking classes this semester.

I've found about 1000 gnats in my room so far, they don't seem to be effecting the health of the plants but it's going to take tweezers to get em all off my nugs. :(
Lookin good so far bro. I expect they'll take off in the next week or two.

Mooinn (good morning in German) everyone! Time to wake n bake, if you haven't already, I have. Haha

The plants are looking great after a week and six days. The next set of leaves have grown a lot and the root system is getting bigger!:hump: I switched the lights to 17/7 to run during the night to avoid heat issues during the day

I hope to LST soon, I'm debating if the rack is too high and if I should bring it down, any suggestions ?

Hey everyone, hope you all are having a good Monday. I noticed last night that both of my plants embryonic leaves are starting to yellow, I wasn't sure if this was normal or if it was showing symptoms of a nitrogen deficiency? The leaves aren't helping the plant anymore so it might just be using those leaves as resources to build more on top. Another thing I noticed, on one of the plants the first set of real leaves, the leaf is bending? There is no discoloration of the leaves, so I'm just wondering if it's heat stress or if it is a deficiency?

I have some updated pics of the plants, they're definitely looking good! i've been adding more yeast and sugar and I believe that they have been benefiting from it. (the photos are from after I added the mix)

I noticed a yellow spot with a greyish circle in the center on one of the leaves, any ideas of what it could be? i've been giving nutes regularly (not too often, every 2-3 days depending on quantity)

other than that, i'm probably going to be flowering in about a week to keep size down, since i've heard that plants normally double in size.

ps. sorry that they are on their side.. on my computer they show up portrait but when i upload them, they flip?
