after my first grow, which was like a test run to me, i can now start the real thing :D

i got:
growtent 80cmx80cmx160cm
hesi nutes
root stimulator nutes
plagaron seedmix and batmix (for bloom)
200w envirolight CFL
4 x 23w CFLs
5 feminized powerplant seeds from dutch passion

had to start the seeds in a closet with the 200w, which kinda killed them, well they werent dead but all the leaves would yellow dry out and die, but it would still grow, realllly slow :P

so after i got the growbox up i changed lamps to the small CFLs which didnt help much. up to now i was only using normal phd water since the plants are still to small for nutes. but 1 day thought fuck it and gave them full strenght nutes, and the litlle fuckers started to grow, they actually really took of:wall::wall:

no wonder their called powerplant they almost died of lack of nutes at seedling stage :twisted:

now after they are a little bigger i got the 200w with 3x23 cfls up again, and i got a big ass ventilator from the grow shop that sucks air out, so temps are under control.

so my theory is that in the time they were half-dead they only grew lots of roots and little leaves, what you think about it cause their growing real nice now :D

the plan is that i veg for a couple of weeks, then pick on plant LST the shit out of it to get lots of clones, make clones and let them with the other 4 for couple weeks.

which would give me 4 big plants and 10-20 3 week old clones when i start flower, if this goes as "planned" what u think do able? i dont know how many clones i can take from 1 plant, so i need some input their :D


so if anyone actually read my "little" story of fuck up and all the other shit i wrote while high heres the pics for you :D

oh and the big question:... do i need even more CFLs? :D

Nice grow bro. Light can never be enough for weed. More light the bigger the bud too. When do you plan on flowering them? I cant wait until I start growing haze and skunk in the summer!!!

its pretty hot, but i put it that high cause i think last time it killed the seedlings with too much light, i'm gonna lower it a bit when they get little bigger, 5 days or something :D

when they get bigger ill have it as close as possible with out burning, my last plant got so fuckin big it was frying itself in the end, had to cut of top 2 cm of bud xD

thy for the input though :D

get a fan :P makes them stronger aswell :)

and i dun think that light would kill them, more like a 400w hps would kill them... I think you are being a bit paranoid man... fan, lower lights.. blow fan on plants.. they'll love you :eyesmoke:

cheers bro.. looking realy good btw. !

never seen that strain grow or smoked it :bigjoint:

small update:

temps got a little high with all CFLs running.

it was up to 30-31 thats like 85-90 fahrenheit (i think )

so i added a small pc fan at the bottom as intake, it blow fresh air directly at the plants :D

temps still werent ok so i moved the ventilator next to the 200w, so now it functions as a cooltube :D it blows all the hot air from the lamps away from the plants.

temps are okay if i open the window next to the growbox now, left the window open for 1 hour and temps dropped from 30 to 23-25, so i guess i'll just have to check temp and open window if its gettin to hot :D

maybe i'll have to take some small cfls out in summer :/

oh and what humidity % is good at this a age?

if anyone is interested i'll post a pic.

Nice start, good luck with your grow buddy and once you start having your own bud around it's hard to compare to! Only shit I've got as good or better than mine came from my best grow buddy but the other guys I know just aren't doing it right with all them hydro nutes and nasty rw cubes ewwwww it's all about organics man!!!
