** Dark's 1st Grow Journal **

[DarkCursade]

Hi to all this is my first attempt at a small grow, I have learned some of the basic grow skills on random seeds I had earlier this year.

Following seeds:
Red Dragon, G13 Haze, Utopia Haze, Violator Kush, Wild Thai, Skunk Haze, 3 seeds of each all are feminized besides the Skunk haze which were free.....

Any advice is welcome, please no harsh criticism as I am still learning...

Ill be updating as I go along, I am picture happy so there will be pics weekly probably....

I know but what to do? These fluros produce a bit of heat, so I cant get them too much closer,,,

All you have to do is get those lights as close as possible.

I use cfl's to veg and HPS to flower no problem, you don't need all that light for veg. They will grow quicker with a HPS but obviously it looks like this guy doesn't have a HID System yet so he has to work with what he has.

LOL Cheese I have given the Cfls the sack today, I like to keep my seeds for a couple of days under the cfls until they are all about an inch tall, then I like to swap to MH, cheers buddy.

Im not happy with my room temp of 32.5C, but new gear has not arrived in the mail yet, thank you MR POST OFFICE MAN.

Okay I have a long overdue update, many problems along the way due to heat of 48c degrees in my grow room practically stopping growth, and also a faulty 600 mh light, both problems have been solved, I got a tent / AC / New HPS 600w

here are my updated pics, I tossed the Free Skunk x Haze seeds cause they were shit house.
