Small update: The two larger plants went into 12/12 light cycle after day 30. They have yet to show sex (as far as I can tell), but have continued good growth as both are well over 10 inches tall and have good leaf/node production. Roots have began to show at the bottom of the container and look...

I think you should get your own grow journal.

lol, I know, its weak huh. No, but seriously, my schedule is perfect for it. I'm a college student, classes from 8am-3pm most days. So I during the vegitative cycle I can come home after classes and turn them on, then turn them off before I leave in the morning. After 7 hours of classes and...

Nope, never had or even heard of cheese for that matter. Somewhere in your thread someone said something about the smell of it being very strong. With my current situation, thats too much risk. About the when to flower, since I dont know what to expect from these unknown strains, I think I'll...

I started with a single 3way 12-23-29W CFL for the first couple weeks but switched to a Single 42W CFL. Thanks for the advice on the HID's. I think I'll get the HPS for flowering and keep the CFL for veg... I really want to try out LEDs to supplement both stages though. Also during the first...

Unknown strain, bag weed seeds. The stuff smoked good enough, so I have moderate hopes for the buds. I'll go and spend some money on quality seeds when i'm more experienced. If this round goes good enough through harvest, I'll probably do the online order thing for my next crop. Right now I'm...

sorry, my WiFi was crapping out on me and I didnt even know this post went through. I aready created another thread with that info here: https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/298112-first-grow-attempt.html Mods: Sorry, and feel free to deleate this thread.

“#2”: Originally the smaller, of the two biggest plants (2nd picture at beginning of thread, on left) “Droopy” And all of them: I have finally set into a watering routine which I have found to work well using a water bottle I have, watering with reverse osmosis water every 3 days. The CFL...

The two larger ones were replanted into 6” cube containers as their roots began to wrap around the 3” cubes. At this time the two larger ones were about 5.5” tall as seen behind the other 3. You can see at this time “Droopy” has begun to improve, but still has a little to go yet. Meanwhile, I...

By this time the remaining smaller plants were placed in the larger 3in^3 containers. Two problems were discovered. The first was the recurring slanted growth on this plant which I attempted to correct with that piece of clear rubber at the base: I think this was an over watering/humidity...

Another casualty as one plant wilted and I decided to discard. Only 5 remain. Around this time I switched to a 42W CFL from a 12-23-29W Adjustable CFL. Since I have yet to describe the growing environment, I think I’ll do that now. 12”d x 16”l x10”h boxes were used, lined on the inside with...

Good growth continued, the second pair of new leaves began to show and height was about 3.5 inches for most. At this point I had troubles keeping all of them growing upright. Maybe they were stretching toward the light??? In any case, I supported the stems on a couple as needed to support...

As the plants began to show their first true leaves (~day 7), I replanted them into soil using cardboard containers (an OJ container for the 2 larger ones and TP rolls for the others). I did this to keep my costs down and to save space. The soil used was Miracle-Grow Potting Soil, although not...

(Yes, I am aware that my phone’s camera sucks.) By day 5 (starting my calendar with the New Year), 6 of the seedlings grew to between ¾ and 1inch and expelled their seed casings and two even began growing their first pair of actual leaves. During their seedling stage, I kept them in a damp paper...

Okay, as I am a new member here I thought I would contribute my very first grow attempt. Since I'm just starting out, I thought I would spend as little as possible (<$60 so far), while I was still making mistakes, so that when I put down some serious cash for lights and such, I wouldn’t be as...

Your first post said something about using miracle grow soil, then you started talking about different nutrients. Be careful with that soil as many miracle grow soils already have nutrients that release slowly for months. You may want to check the bag and see if there is NPK info on it. Also, I...
