Hi there! This is my first "official" attempt at growing... I have a tiny bagseed plant in week 5 of flowering to get nutes/lighting/pH/everything down pat before I waste seeds. lol. She's had a rough life but hopefully the smoke will be decent. At least now I know what to do, I hope. :eyesmoke:

I'm working with an awkward space, so I'm only germinating 2 seeds for now: Dutch Passion Twilight and Female Seeds White Widow x Big Bud

My set up is as low budget as possible and as such, is pretty ghetto to say the least.

Here's what I'm working with:
- 19x19x34 stealth cab
- 10 CFL's (60w-26w, 2700k and 6500k)
- 69cfm intake fan
- 117cfm exhaust w/ carbon filter
- AN Jungle Juice nute trio
- FF Happy Frog soil plus MG perlite
- 2 gallon smart pots

Here are some WIP pics of the awkwardly shaped ghetto cab that I'm now using as a tv stand lol:

Wish me luck! Will post pics as soon as the 2 seeds germ. :D

Didn't take pics, but both seeds have tap roots and have been planted! Thinking the WWxBB will sprout first

What way did you go for the carbon filter.

I made one using an old intake filter that I took off my car (was perfectly clean tho), filled it with activated carbon, and sealed it off with some carbon filter pieces. Seems to work decently... still smell it a little though.

Well... WWxBB is going strong... Twilight not so much lol.

Sad looking Twilight:

^ I know the light spectrum looks off in that pic but it's cause it's in the cab with my flowering plant. Has a 55w 6500k right over it like the other seedling.

Really not sure why it looks so sad and sickly... doubt it'll pull through, but I'm giving it a chance.

I went ahead and planted them both in 2 gallon smart pots because I didn't have anything smaller, and I did this with my last plant and it seemed to work great. Oh well... I'll give the little Twilight seedling a few more days before I germ another seed I guess.

Well... Twilight kicked the bucket... lol not sure what the deal was but the cotyledons just turned yellow and crisped up.

So... Now I have a Black Skull Five-O seed germing... let's hope this one works lol.

WWBB is looking good... Five-O still hasn't popped the surface but has a nice long taproot. Boring update lol.

Day 10 from seed - WWxBB:

Can't believe how fast she's growing! I'm going to top her as soon as the next node lies a little flatter.

Day 5 from seed - Five-O:

Lol.. for such a fast finishing strain, this one sure is slow to get started! Guess that's the sativa in her... But the little seedling is looking healthy, and when I transplanted today, I noticed it has a REALLY long root for a seedling that size, so that's good!

Thanks! Yeah there's still a tiny little hint of purple you can see on the leaf that's twisted, but no where near what it was! Definitely a humidity problem which was easy enough to fix :)

Day 13 WWxBB

IMG_07581.jpgIMG_07591.jpgIMG_07601.jpg

This plant is crazy!! I feel like she's a good pheno... might consider trying to clone. It's growing SO fast! 2 days after topping and already has noticeable new growth forming. I fed VERY low strength nutes for the first time last watering. Basically eyeballed a tiny bit of JJ Micro & Grow as well as a tiny bit of Cal-Mag. Looks even greener and happier today!

Day 9 Five-O

IMG_07611.jpg

Five-O is doing okay. Has a weird spot on one cotyledon that's been there pretty much the whole time. Also, the new growth is a strange yellowy purple gray color but I have a feeling that is caused by slightly low temps and think that'll correct itself once it gets a little bigger.

Thanks! Hehe I find it funny that everyone assumes right off the bat that I'm a guy (don't worry not picking on you, its a normal assumption) lol! But nah, I'm a girl that just so happens to love smoking and now growing!! :weed:
