Hello peeps, Welcome to my grow. This is my first grow and i have to say i dont think I would have been able to start this without the help of RIU peeps! so thank you.

Strain: MasterKush fem.
Medium: Soil (Organic mix with a coco medium around 70 soil 30 coco)
Lights: CFLs, 2 x 42 watt mounted on clamp lamp socket and 4 x 23 watt mounted on a DIY setup hanging from the roof.
Nutes: all purpose 10-15-10 from shultz and i plan on using fishpowder and blackstrap molasse.
I'll post a link to my cfl setup in my signature...
Im at day 6 since the seed has cracked, im doing only one plant for a first grow. Today is quite a bad day since i came home from work finding my lamps squasing my little seedling causing burn tip. It was really ghetto with rope and i change it, it was an obvious newbie mistake haha. So I'm hoping im on the right path lets take a look at these babiess. I rename all my pics so pay attention to what is what on the file name

Yeah so my setup fixed with tape wasnt strong enough i guess because it fell right on the plant and brun half of it. Miracurously the plant is still growing and the second set of leaves wasnt touch.. NEVER USE TAPE AGAAIN note to self

ye i dont feed for around two to three weeks, when the cotyledons (little round leaves at very bottom) die it means it about time to give um there first dose. after you burn (nutrient) a plant flush the plant with clean water and let it recover before anything else is given. your plant looks nice n healthy other than where it was burned and you have a good amount of light. you might want to checkout bathroom vanity lights get some y splitters and a bit of chain it makes for a sick cfl set-up and looks legit. ill be checkin back to see the nugs!!

Look at that ass ! so here you go with the update! shes at her day 15 since sprout! so about 2 weeks, at day 12 or 9 i guess i fed her with very little schultz 10-15-10 and no sign of burn but i dont even know if it would have been same result without anything anyways... and i started doing 20on and 4 off for my lightsss at about day 9 or 12 too, this plant is maddd bushy , tell me waht would be best add a 150 watter on top of my 4 100 watter and get the temperature a lil too hot like 90 or staY WITH 100 and keep the temperature in ranges... so poll it! PEACE AND MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

i say add the 150 watter on top of those but get a fan to circulate the air so the consentated heat temp from the light to the plant will stay low

no offense dude but i think your grow might have the most common fault - obsession (im guilty too dont worry). i mean this in that your goin a little over the top on the lights, shes got plenty - if i remember correctly you have two cfls on a y splitter for vegging, and that should be enough if theyre the right kind, whats their output in Kelvin? plus i no i was already harpin u about the heat concentration shit, but if u REALLY just want some more light on her i would just use the flowering lights u already have in their, and let one hit it from about 4-5 inches (a bit farther than usual, cus of the heat from having three on that bitch). this of course would be in addition to the vegging lights (whose range on the electromagnetic spectrum include the vegging lights)
also, two random things, the leaves reaching up like that doesnt mean it needs more light, if u look at outdoor plants u can see they do this on a sunny day, and look exactly the same. also, ive read that the plant responds well if you give it more light during flowering than veg, so like 2 lights for veg and 3-4 for flower (more if its big, but ur gonna have to keep it small in that box
haha sorry i always seem to be naysayin on ur baby, just tryin to help, ya dig?
