first proper grow: Blue Cheese & Belladonna

[tittikaka27]

im finally posting up my grow because i need some advice, about 4 of the plants
they have been in a 24 hour light cycle since they have sprouted. some of the taller plants look like they are suffering from heat stress,
i added a computer fan and moved them farther away.
i also do not have a timer yet and im flat broke for 5 days, how long can i milk a 24 hour cycle. i was hoping to give them some darkness soon or is it still too early?

Barney's Blue Cheese X 4
Paradise's Belladonna X 7

germinated seeds 6th april...planted them a few days later

Soil: multi purpose compost, perlite, sand, and a spoonful of dried organic fertlzer 5.0-5.0-6.5

i do not have anything to read the temperature with yet

they dont look to bad to me

 

[MonkeeMan]

haha ghetto set up but your weed looks good

whats the temp like though

and hows the air flow?

 

[tittikaka27]

im sorry to say i dont have a thermometer it was getting hot but now seems fine, the airflow is pretty good since i added the fan, which is pointing upwards and bouncing off the walls creating a light breeze, i had to tie it on a string as it would vibrate loudly....are the plants at a good distance for the light?

 

[MonkeeMan]

i meant airflow out of the cab?

and airflow bringing in CO2?

if you put your hand out at the leaf level and it burns your hand it will burn the plants... if it doesn't then youre fine

Kind of looks like they're stretching a little to me, but can't really tell... they look good, but that's a crazy setup man, looks like my ghetto cardboard "grow box" that i used at first...keep up the growing!

 

[tittikaka27]

its my wardrobe pimped out with duck tape up to keep the light out when i close the doors... i cant cut holes into it to keep the wiring tidy an all, i had to improvise with how i could hang the light, but chains and seel wireing to secure seems to work fine


as for CO2, i have to pets in my room a snake and scorpion lol, maybe i could put my scorpion cage next to the plants in the space, would that create some c02? or is that just wacky?

update: God bless my local hydro shop, i keep going back like every other day to buy new stuff.
finally got new timer and contactor that works, clip on fan, mylar thats a little tricky to put up, and clip on fans as well as height adjusters for light which saves alot of space and time and heartache. old light broke (btw dont try to change an bulb that doesnt want to be changed, and dont tend to plants while on opium, you get very rough and careless) so i now use my other light which is a much better 250w MH, so unfortunatly i have to get a new bulb so i can create two different rooms, for flowering and vegging.
transfered them all into final pots
2 FIMed for experimentation...also my friend says he can sex cannabis without flowering and just by the wa yit looks and smells...does this have any truth? i males would be more likely to be long and with less branching while girls would be fatter and smaller and more compact. he also said males smell more during veg

would love to know what you all think

 

[KroniKFouR2o]

lookin good, i have 5 bellas a week away from cropping and they smell yummy. i did sog style so i dont know how they are if they get big, but i have 5 more to start.
happy growing!

 

[tittikaka27]

here are some more recent pics. im repotting the few that are in dr pepper bottles in a few days and a friend is making some cuttings for a mother plants from 1 or 2 plants and 1 from every plant so we can sex them

as much as i have tried to rotate these images in iphoto, tiny pic dosnt want to recognise it so youll have to bend your necks :-/

[tittikaka27]

[meathook666]

nice flowers dude. how many belladonnas did you end up with? and what light are u using now? keep on good work!

 

[tittikaka27]

hey thanx for the support
i think i have 3 of each, maybe more bella then blue but i have completely lost track...when they mature a little more then i'll know for sure

the light is 250w metal halide and reminds me of an egyptian sun
