Le1337need's Grow Journal

[le1337need]

I ordered 10 misty and 10 top 44 from nirvana on 01/10/07, and received them on 01/20/07. because of my limited grow area, i'm only starting out with 4 misty. started germination at approx 11:30 am. i put the 4 seeds in a glass of water (ph 6.6) with superthrive. kept seeds in the cup for about 7 hours. put seeds in a wet paper towel (using same water from cup) on a plastic plate in a sealed bag. will check them tomorrow after work and hopefully transfer them to the pete moss thingys. starting my grow journal with this grow because i know what strain i'm using and it's from a reputable place. All comments are welcome. will post pics once first taproot comes out.

I cheated earlier today and took a quick peak at my seedlings. Can already see the tip of the taproot come out of a couple of the seeds already. got an email from htgsupply.com with a tracking number for my hps light. looks like it will get here tomorrow. too bad i'll be at work. maybe, just maybe, it'll get delivered while i'm on my lunch break. can already tell the difference of quality from nirvana and bagweed seeds. saw earlier also that nirvana now has some fem seeds... thinking about ordering some snow white. though i may wait until i have gone through my first batch of misty and top44, but it would be nice knowing that all seeds were fem.... ugh decisions, decisions, decisions..

i think i over watered my bagweed seeds. majority of the leaves are droopy. note to self: "wait about 36hrs between watering."

I planted some seeds of crap a week ago...nothing. Planted some seeds i got from Amsterdam yesterday morning 12 out of 20 have all cracked and roots showing. seeds are huge!!

 

[le1337need]

Got my hps light today from htgsupply.com, which rules. Can see current grow setup here



Also, my 4 seeds of Misty have germinated, as you can see here



Put the seeds in the pete moss (i know i'm not calling it the right name) thingys. A little worried that I may have put a seed upside down and that I may have put them too deep in. oh well, I think they will survive. I plan to see the first seedlings pop out wed or even thursday. Will hopefully replant on saturday, spend a few days, maybe a week under cfls, and move to current hps setup. that may be thinking a little too far ahead tho.

Don't you want to be using a Hetal Halide light for vegging?

I might be wrong I'm still learning...

 

[le1337need]

Yes mh is better than hps for vegging, but i'm too lazy to figure out if my lamp will support both hps and mh, and then to figure out sockets for the different bulbs, trying to k.i.s.s. as much as possible

 

[le1337need]

Today was the seed's first day under light. None have popped up yet. Hoping to see them Thursday for Friday. Stupid me, lost my camera. I remember doing something with it earlier today, but then I smoked a few bowls, took a shower and it's gone mia. It's funny, when ever I lose something, I always look over the same places a billion times. It's very frustrating.

 

[le1337need]

I found my camera last night under the couch.

Opened the lil grow box after work to night, and this is what I saw..




Here's a closer look




My numbering scheme is going to work something like this:

• The letter designates how the plant looked at the begining compared to it's peers (closer to A the better, closer to Z the not so better)

• The number means generation. (1 is the first generation, 2 is the second (clone) etc, etc, etc)

Goodie, the kindergarten teacher is in the house with a journal and colored pictures. Sounds right except its PEET MOSS thingies.

Hi man, I am a month into my Misty seeds from Nirvana. I ordered 10, and sprouted 5. All 5 have sprouted, and are growing. Just get ready, they are STINKY!!!! Yum Yum, I have not started flowering yet, but I can only imagine how the smell will be. You will need to think about odor control early!!!Good luck.

 

[le1337need]

Everyone came to class on time.... of course I have a pic



I transplanted A1 and B1 to bigger pots in a bigger grow box with better lights. I may have fucked up the transfer of A1. I thought that the "fence" (I don't know what the name is, sorry) that was holding the PEET MOSS in place might hinder root growth... so, I took it off. Stupid me didn't look before I did it and I tore a little part of the root off with the "fence" I felt pretty confident in the transfer of B1 though. Tomorrow I'm going to get more soil to transfer the other two plants.

Here is a pic of A1 just before I transplanted it



For odor control I planned on using an Ion fan and also masking the smell. My closet is in the dead middle of my craptacular apt.... I smoke all the time in my room and no one has said a single word to me. The landlord lady and I get a long pretty good, I think I would know if someone said something.

for vegging u can use 2 .2foot flourescent light bulbs they work great and are inexpensive

 

[le1337need]

All pants have been transplanted and are looking great. I plan on moving plants to current hps setup next Saturday or Sunday. They should be ready for the big light by then.

A1 Misty


B1 Misty


C1 Misty


D1 Misty

 

[Empyrean421]

At least you know they will really take off when you switch to flowering...

 

[le1337need]

Plant C1 got burnt yesterday, cfl got too close. Because of that, I changed the way the light are 'hung' around my plants

 

[Spittn4cash]

wow..I stand corrected..cFL's CAN burn plants...did U toss the little lady out or were you able to save her?

 

[le1337need]

The plant in the lower right hand is C1. I'm going to see if it comes back, if I don't see an improvement in a few days I'll just throw it away.

 

[le1337need]

Plants are now 10 days old. I've decided C1 is dead and not worth trying to bring back.

 

[Spittn4cash]

cool, im trying to get ideas..what r u using for co2 and for temp?

 

[le1337need]

I'm not using anything atm for co2, but planned on playing around with sparkling water and baking soda/vinegar. There are holes on the side of this grow box with fan guards that has a fan blowing air in 24/7. haven't checked on temps at all (because i'm an idiot). i just put a thermometer in there, will check in a bit and report back
