1st Grow, CFL 48" 10 Feminized Blue Mystics and 16 Freebies

Well this is my first ever grow other than just planting a couple seeds here and there around the house and letting them go, got some buds from them but not quality.
So i just bought the Walmart $9.99 48" T8 that offers 30% more light and lumens when using 48" 32w T8 bulbs, Look great nice and Bright im using dual cool, natural light bulbs 32w - 2700 Lumens - 6500k color - for the Veg. I just planted 9 Feminized Blue Mystics and 16 Freebie seeds from Nirvana Seeds, Im gonna start a grow journal so check it out


First Pic is just after planting... pics on left are the freebies(mystery seeds) on the Right are the feminized Blue Mystics will post pics after there all sprouted.

Ok well i managed to Take some shots with my web cam sorry for shitty lighting but its all i could do atm, So the 3 closest are the Blue mystics that survived out of 9 of them and the other 9 are the mystery seeds,

Being my first time growth i was aware of how important it was to have a fan blowing air over them at the early stages of growth, thus the other 6 BM that did germinate and sprout died cause the stem couldnt support the weight of the first leaves. And they fell over and died. I also had a few mystery seeds that when the seed shell fell off it took the leaves with it, not sure why it did that or how to prevent that, so if any one knows let me know.

I went and bought some SuperSoil Garden Amender with an N/P/K of 0.20/0.05/0.05. Could have gotten one as high as .48% for Nitrogen but didnt want to over fert them would rather add as needed. I intend to buy some perlite today that i will add to the amender, still not sure if im actually gonna mix any regular soil to the amender, i dont reall think it will matter much, let me know if im wrong.

nice,i'm growing BM too!

Awesome yeah i cant wait for them to grow big gonna harvest 2 and mother the other probably, i have 9 out of 9 Fems Germ (gave 1 away)

I have some fem B.M. auto's i'm growing. One turned out to be a male so I got another one about to sprout. I wanna know how the hell you got 16 freebies though, i got none haha

Well just thought i would post some update as to things, I transplanted some of my bigger seedlings into there buckets, I went to the dollar store and got some like little mop buckets with handles on them there perfect, used hole punch to knock some holes in the bottom, Think im only going to keep the better looking seedlings that are showing the good grow characteristics. As for the ones that aren't might plant them in my neighbors yard or some where they wont be seen just to see what happens... d=) Grow is going slow though since out in the garage with me it gets around 100 degrees during the day so they grow slow during light phase while its hot, most growth is happening at night, Waiting for my land lord to wire up this shed we have that is sunken like 2 feet in the ground and has 3 ft thick walls, its awesome space its about 10"x10" gonna be perfect for my grow. That way i can have company and no one will know any better. Will post some pics soon as i can

Well for some reason the site wont allow me to up load any pics i click add and find them and select upload and it doesnt do anything just sits there

There i totally just had to upload them to image shack then post link add picture, any ways there you go, that is a total of 2 full weeks into growth from time of seed

so i picked up 7 32" Floro Light strips for $10 at a yard sale down the street from my house today, had lights in them and every thing and worked, problem is the lights are all 4100k curious if that will help in my set up or not, dont have the cast to buy new bulbs at the moment so curious if these will make any differance

I have a few plants that are turning Light Green... they are doing great and look healthy and all but just its like the color is fading... added more lights so not sure why there doing that... any idea's????

i'm growin a blue mystic also... mine was also (light green) for a while ... dont worry there baby's they'll buck up ! .....and 6500k is best ! you'll get more unwanted stretch with 4100k...also you need more light ( that may be attributing to the light green coloration ) 3000 lumens per sq ft for seedlings ,2 to 3 inches away from the light.. good luck !
