    Snapped her stem :(

    I am also planning on LST and topping. In hindsight, I probably should have just taken the whole top off, but it was a little lower than I actually wanted to do it, and I panicked. Light is about 22" above the plant. I still may raise it 6" or so to see if I can get some height. I have some...

    Snapped her stem :(

    Cool thanks guys! I was going to just leave it, but the shriveling fan leaf started to worry me. I braced it with a twig for the night to keep the split completely closed. When I Braced it, I noticed some kind of clear liquid secretion from the plant. Already healing itself it seems

    Snapped her stem :(

    So this is my first plant, and I was testing my boundaries because although s/he is short, the stem was becoming very thick. Well, I bent too far and the stem snapped right below the second branches in the picture. I've read all the threads and about just leaving it, splinting it, duct tape...

    Anyone ever get 2 stems from one seed?

    Blue Dream has a mini-me! Look closely, second set of cotyledons coming up in front.

    That is the plan! I started two seeds because I have no idea if the mystery seed that's two weeks ahead is make or female. With two lights, 2-3 plants should be easy to maintain, and if I skip the screen they will be very accessible. My door opening is about 24" wide and I will have enough...

    Thanks for the advice! This is number one, so as you said, I'm really just trying to make it through to harvest and learn some cloning and training techniques along the way. I have a mystery plant, a fem Blue Dream (Sativa dom hybrid) and fem Critical Kush (Indica) I'm leaning towards growing...

    Hey friends, So I've got my grow space set up and my 3 plants going and two of them are female seeds. When I first started, my intentions were to use a screen to train the canopy once the plants got 10-12" tall. Taking a second look at my space, this may not be my best option for yields. The...

    First Grow! ~2'x4' Closet with LEDs

    I am definitely too much of a perfectionist! It is really bad now while I'm off work for the Winter because I have way too much time on my hands, hence why I picked up this hobby. However, it's not nearly as time consuming as I need it to be! I am curious to see what I can manage this Summer...

    First Grow! ~2'x4' Closet with LEDs

    Here's day #12 for Mystery #1. Hard to believe it's already been almost two weeks!The other two popped overnight and are now planted. Hopefully they break ground by Wednesday! Everything's going smoothly so far. However, it won't be long before mystery #1 needs some training to maximize her...

    First Grow! ~2'x4' Closet with LEDs

    24 hours and seeds have pretty much popped. I will give them 12 more hours to make sure the taproot had decided to fully emerge. Mystery #1 ended up with an 11 day head start. She's not very tall, but she's bushy! 4th node is taking off before the leaves fully develop on the 3rd!

    First Grow! ~2'x4' Closet with LEDs

    Hey guys! Seeds came today and I went ahead and grabbed one Blue Dream and one Critical Kush to germinate. Once they pop I'll start them the same way as Mystery #1. She is growing extremely fast. Should I be concerned about the downward tilting lower leaves. You can see them best in the first pic.

    First Grow! ~2'x4' Closet with LEDs

    I decided to go ahead and tidy up the grow space a little more. I came up with a temporary solution to get the plant off the floor using the braces for the shelves that used to be in the closet. Depending on how it works, I may do this all the way across a few inches lower. Then it will be easy...

    First Grow! ~2'x4' Closet with LEDs

    Holy Leaves! I am loving the symmetry. Over the next few days I'll be building some sort of mesh or screen platform 6-10" off the ground. I have the height in the closet to do it, and there are a lot of benefits. 1) The plant will never sit directly in water, and will be much easier to flush...

    First Grow! ~2'x4' Closet with LEDs

    Thanks for the suggestions SG. The seeds are taking forever to get here! I am going to go with one Sativa dominant(blue dream) and one Indica(most likely the Critical kush.) The CK should be done a week earlier than the BD and it will give me the opportunity to see the different trich color...

    First Grow! ~2'x4' Closet with LEDs

    Looking for advice on which 2 good seeds to start, and whether 5 or 7 gal fabric pots are my best option. Should I be looking for 2 Indicas, or 1 and 1, or similar flowering times, or will it even matter which 2 I choose? I'd like to have some variety, but don't want to cause to much confusion...

    So it's been a couple days, and the baby is doing great! I bought a pretty big humidifier which is making a huge difference counteracting the dry air from our wood furnace and stove! Happy to say that even with -30 wind chills, I am no easily able to maintain temperature AND humidity. CFL is...

    First Grow! ~2'x4' Closet with LEDs

    Hey friends, Good news first...She broke the soil! Bad news is I'm still having slight humidity issues. We are having wind chills of -30 tonight and I am still able to maintain this temperature(with wood alone to boot!) The problem is the wood stove is drying the shit out of my house. I've...

    Phew, that ended up being a much bigger project than I anticipated. I am terrible about underestimating how long things actually take! Anyways, I've got the room set up almost the way I'd like. Don't judge me for my wiring setup just yet. All of this is temporary until my LED lights show up...

    Awesome! Thank you, I hope I have a decent first grow. Very thankful to grow up in the Information Age, where anything you need to know is right at the tip of your fingers. Here are a few before pics of the closet area that I'm about to start outfitting.
