Okay so this is my second try at growing. The first try somthing happend and i had to say bye bye to my seed lings... But Im Back and in the grow game!:leaf:

Info:
Im using one large cfl i found(dosent have any wattage or lable, weird...)(I should add that the plants seem to be growing nicely with it)the light socket i got out of an old lamp that the dog chewed the cord to, just put a new plug on the wire with some electrical tape and there ya go!
Im growing in a tuba ware(how ever u spell it lol) about 4 ft X 2ft and 2 or 3 feet deep .
Im using soil that i got from my grandpas garden.( i found a worm in it, it must be good for my babys!)
Im using some little pots untill i can find something larger.
Im going 12/12 from seed.
Ive pust some chip bags in the tub for reflection.(Plan to add alot more)
Im not worrying about the heat, the box hasnt been getting hot with lights on at all! I guess after all I am using a CFL!
Nutes Soon**
For water im using tap water left in a bottle for a little while.






:leaf:Now on to the babys!!!:leaf:

I havent decided names yet so for now ill go by order they poped.(As of right now you can tell order by age, but heres a chart)

Plant 1 = largest pot
Plant 2 = second largest pot
Plant 3 = plastic cup with hole in the bottom


Plant 1 seems to be doing good at about a week and a half. she has been topped and trimmed alittle but is still looking fine. i should mention that she is the only one that was vegged before idecided to try 12/12 all the way. (im cutting back on watering as of today i noticed yellow on the tips of 2 leaves, while i was watering! dont worry though the soil was barely moist..)
Plant 2 is doing well at about 4 days or so(kinda forgot,i love pot lol!)
Plant 3 is about 3 days in and looks to be growing pretty nicely!

Have a look!

It is now day five 12/12(11 for plant 1 as she was vegged for afew days.)

Everything seems fine,i think growth in plant one is finally starting back up.I think i stunted her a little by transplanting her from a cup to the pot shes in now. But i guess more room is nice in the long run!

Plant two is looking great at day 5!She is still growing and it looks like the has a set of leaves coming in!

plant 3 is still a runt, but shes growing.Afterall she is about a day younger than plant 2.


Heres some pics!

Plant one

Thats all for today. Toke up people!:bigjoint:
 
Did plant 1 start from seed? She's pretty big imo... but i don't know much...
also is there only one light? lowes, home depot, and walmart all sale clamp lights with cheap reflectors on them for 6 to 12 bucks depending on the size, and y splitters as well... you will need many more lights if that is your only one but looking good so far, subscribed! happy growing

Yea, im working on low cash so cant buy grow shit just going with what i got. And besides missing a tip, plant one still looks pretty healthy. The other babys look great too, leaves are getting bigger! And the runt might start catchung up!

looking good bro this is my advice: go with just the 1 big plant ditch the others n buy cordsets/bulbs as u go n can afford them its not "grow" stuff so it wont b suspicious but eventually u will need more wattage in order to help her get sum nice fat buds :)

check the first link in my signature i had a similar setup n went 12/12 from seed as well

good luckk man!
