First Grow Ever with CFL's and T5's

I didn't realize you had auto's, that makes it easier. That's what people say about autos, put in final pot after seedling stage. I never grew autos, mostly grow reg. seed and clones....rw

Lowryder Diesel Ryder aka Ms. Mercedes 2 days old. G13 NL Auto no aka as of yet lol 2 days old.

Yeah that's what people say so I got a nice 3 gallon home for each of those ladies..will see, I'm just happy to see that they're growing.

That should be a good size pot. You got me excited about your seeds I had to germ three myself. Two mellon kush and a grandaddy purple!! I got a perpetual grow going, I usually germ a couple of seeds every two weeks. I do 12/12 from seed, which means you put in 12/12 from beginning. It take 3 months to be ready, so you don't save much time, except for indicas. You can sex them at 4 weeks from seed, I grow mostly reg. seed. I have a friend in N. Cal. who grown for 40 plus years, he seeded his plants last year and gave bunch of different seed all mixed up. His seed is excellent. I met this kid and after getting him high he giving me 22 big sur skunk, close to orginal clones and 10 headband seeds. I brought seeds my first time, but since then the pot gods have shined they glory upon me and seed just come to me. If I want to grow something the seed shows up, it's wierd...take care...rw

Just a lil update it has been three days since the lil ladies broke the ground, so far they look good I think here are two pictures that I took about five minutes ago.

Thx dab, I know rite it has been only 3 days since they broke the ground and growing like crazy, but that might be bcuz they are autos..but anyways I'm just happy that they growing Temps in the cab are rite there 76.5F with lights on and 67F with lights off RH is 20%-30%, so I think everything is rite on track.

Yea. Everyone says that plantas veg better with 60-70 rh. But mine couldn't get much further than 16% lol its dry as Fuck here!! And they did well... I think mine are finally done going up and are really starting to grow out if you will I'm in week 3 of flower. Since they are bagseed I have no idea when they are going to be done. I hope its a short flower period....

Hey guys, I just took some macro pics of the girls and I found some white bubblie looking things on my leafs is that normal? I'll post pic and if you can zoom it in and tell me what that might be? Thank you in advance I don't know if you can see it with out zooming in, so if you can zoom in and tell me what that might be. Thx.

I had those too, I think they're left over from the shell or some stuck perlite/soil. They went away for me after a few days on most of them, but it's still hanging on well to one of them. I wouldn't worry about it. I'm on day 4 myself

Yeah everyone has their own opinion about RH so ppl say it dont matter other say it does lol..so I'm just keeping mine where is at now, will see what happens in a long run.
I was trying some bagseed but they never even germed so I had to order some beanz from the tude got them here (U.S midwest) in 8 days from the day of the order. As of rite now I only have two plants going on in there, but still have 2 seeds left for the next grow, one is dinafem critical jack and the other one is advanced seeds low girl. I was thinking about getting one more 125w cfl with the hood and stick that low girl in there with those two other autos. wacha think?

Thank You Buddah, so I'm just rite behind ya, I'm on day 3 since they broke the ground..what you growing there Buddah?

Oh wow. Your fans look way bigger than mine do right now o.0, shorter as well. Might be the autoflower or might be that I have 5 growing under only two low-watt CFLs (my damn daylights haven't come in yet x.x). Right now it's straight shwag bagseed but I just want to see what kind of adjustments I'm going to need to make to my grow-room since I want to set up a perpetual grow. As soon as my seeds come in (been like 6-9 days) of Ice I'll get cracking on those :3. Why'd you pick autoflower over reg?

Those macro pics do no justices bcuz they changed the resolution, if I do it on my computer (zoom it in) those lil dot things look like lil milk dots and lots of lil hair on those leafs they look like lil trichs but no way in hell 3 day old plant would produce trichs already or I might be wrong.

Those leaves look GREAT!! The hairs that you have on there are very normal. All plant life has "hairs" on it. Not really sure what it is for but o do know that it is 100% normal.... The reason his have broader leaves is because he planted them fairly deep and strait into soil (my favorite way to terminate) but if you did the paper towel method then you are going to get a more immature plant that pops up. Now, it will probably stay shorter because he has better lighting. The worse your light the more your plant stretches to find more light. Are your cfls actually 125 watts or is that equivalents? You should be going by actual wattage...

Why did I picked autos? good question, its my first grow ever and I only got a lil box going on so I thought autos would be a perfect fit for my box bcuz they tend to stay pretty short and bushy, and I only grow for my self and my wife so what ever I get from those two plants I'll be very happy, and on the other hand lots of ppl say autos are good way to start growing MJ so picked up some autos from the tude and plant them bitches lol..I want to get this frist grow under my belt etc. and then I can start thinking about some bigger regular photo period plants.

Psh I'm going from bagseed to 7 foot sativa!! Cuz I like go party!

Before you know it, you have a perpetual grow going, That's what I have plants spread two weeks a part, I use regular seed. I do 12/12 seed, you can sex them in 3 to 5 weeks, rather then veg. 2 month and flower for 3 weeks and then pull it because it's male or hermi.The crying that comes with something like that is embarassing, lol With the indicas I try to grow one cola, the sativa I end up super cropping because they get to tall.
Did you spray you plants? I don't care for the stuff on your plants, I went and looked at my little plants( mine are two weeks old) they don't look that way. One thing I know is if have too high RH all the time, it could cause mold. Where I live one day The rh is 30, a day later 80 and then it will rain and then the wind will blow and it's 6. There is no practical way to control it. I live at 5,000ft. Keep an eye on them, like I have to tell you that.lol There stuff to deal with it, I can't remember right now, I will go find out...rw
Also it could be nothing.

Thx dab yeah I only germed them in a shot glass for like 12hrs and as soon as they cracked I plant them in 1/4in of ffof soil. and my bulbs are 125 watts actual wattage, I got two of those and then there is a T5 panel on the insde wall of the box foe side lighting so all together I got 346 actual watts on two auto plants.

It's nothing. 99% of your problems are going to be nothing lol. Just don't over feed. Don't overwater and don't forget to water.... Lol I did that once. I was like why the Fuck is my whole ducking plant going limp. I'm such a nub.
