So I've been on RIU for a few months now gathering info and planning my operation. So here's my first go at a grow. Being this is my first grow, I thought I would start with some bagseed. I only had 2 seeds. Decent stuff. I started germinating on wedns. 10/3/09. Major props to Roseman. Without your insight this wouldn't be possible. I'm using cfl's throughout the whole grow because of space conditions, but I have to say that it's a pretty good setup with room to grow.
Attatched are pics of the box and seedlings. Let me know what you guys think.

I'm using 4gal buckets but the bottom of the net cup sits at 3gal. Each has a 5in airstone disk powered by a dual outlet tetra pump. My temps are between 80-85 depending on how much i open the door. Humidity is 50%. PH is hanging a little above 6.0. They were fed a 6th of nutrients for a snack.

Tonight the babies have gotten a rez change with some fresh distilled water. Replaced the 6th of nutes. Using foxfarm by the way. Here's a few more pics. Seems #2 has gotten much bigger than #1.

I'm using Fox Farm grow big. The guy at my local hydro shop suggested it. Here they are this morning. The next set of leaves are coming in nicely.

What Up to everyone and thanks for taking a look! Any comments are appreciated.

I'm not really sure yet. Since they're bagseed I probably wont do a very long veg. maybe a month. Height may cause me to veg early also. The next round will be some quality seeds so i'll go longer with them. This is pretty much a trial run.

So here's a little update. I've wrapped the foam plates in some foil to block the light on the hydroton and reflect it. Also, tonight will be the first night they will start 20/4. I'm starting to see lots of roots coming out of the starter cube.

Okay so some friends came over last night. I got real high and after everyone left I overfed the babies. Wasn't paying attention to my measurements. :wall:
Not bad though but they were curling under and had little brown spots. Today I acted quick and changed rezs and refilled with distilled water and no nutes (at least until they perk up a bit). Will post pics tonight. Even though this happened they are still looking good. The roots are white and finding the deep water finally.

Welcome to the show McNerdius! I Had a very busy weekend so here they are as of tonight. My rez temps have been less than satisfactory so i got some blue ice packs to throw in there. They are actually held at the bottom by a piece of rubber matting with holes in it i got from wally world. My 5inch bubble disk sits on top of that and circulates throughout. Other than that they are looking good with lots of new leaves appearing every day.

Been a few days since the last update. They are doing very well so far. The weather has gotten cold this past week and my inside temps are showing it. It's been low 70's in the cab and the water is the same. That's a lot considering last week it was in the mid 80's. I haven't even had to cool my res. This Friday makes 2 weeks and they'll be getting a little food. I will update again then.

Hey Mr. Nugs, looks like,they came back nicely from the over-nuting, great to see.

Your story reminded me of an old friend, he used to grow one very fancy mustache, all the ladies loved it. I'll never forget the time he mentioned there are days when he's too hung over to even trim the 'stache, didn't want to mess it up.

I guess you fall into the same category, don't be messing with the babies when you're stoned! I'm always tempted to do one more thing, and I can easily convince myself when I've been drinking and smoking that I could do something a little better. Ya gotta resist the temptation at all costs, just don't do it.

One thing about these plants, waiting one more day won't make much difference, being too hasty can. So take it easy, I sometimes feel it's better to do it tomorrow.

:peace:

They are looking like totally different plants! Good work so far but it looks like you have some spots on the plant in the first pic. Keep an eye on it and keep up the good work!
