First Grow Journal

My soil Ph wont go up wtf ,, I keep adding more dolomitic lime every time I water..

yea go with hps for flowering u can go to a local home depot or most likely ne type of hardware store and fing 250watt hpsa bulbs for like 20$ but then u gotta get the ballast n shit but its cheaper than goin online and shit

hey ,nice grow...I wanna have my first grow up...you tooo
So keep up carrying for the little devils !

Alright so my plants never really took of there still stunted. But the funny thing is, is that I gave my brother one of my shitty ones like a month ago and he just keeps it by the window and just uses brita water, and guess what 2 weeks later its started looking better then all my plants well its kinda starching but for the most part it looks really good So Im taking 4 of my 8 plants and putting them on my deck I also plain on water with a higher ph level in the water to try and bring the soil ph up... Heres a couple of pics of my plants now 56 days in from seed

Alright 7 days later the ones I put on the deck are taking off but the ones in the basement under the CFLs are the same. So that means lighting make a huge deferents But that cant be the intire reason why my plants were so stunted because I have 6 4foot fluorescents, what I think it might be is the air quality, I never really had any fresh air intake all I had was a couple holes and a fan blowing inside the box.. So Im bring my other 4 plants out side here some pics .. I trimmed all the little stunted yellow leafs off. The 4 plants on the left are the ones that I first brought out side, they are stretching but its ok Ill start LST and topping in a bit at least there growing.. Give them 2 weeks and all 8 are gonna be big 63 days

Light is a huge factor. What kelvin were the flouros you were using? for that many plants you would need more than 4 of those i'm sure. Also do you know the lumen output? I found out the hard way that color-temp and amount of light that the plant receives is crucial in vegging. Just check out my journal i got some fucktards for plants. but i've learned so much from it i'm sure my next grow will be great. I just want to finish this one!!!
Maybe just step up the lighting, use your tubes for side lighting (will improve your foliage at the middle of the plant) and get some CFL's for the top. Or say fuck it and get a HPS and a MH conversion bulb and rock out!
Either way i'd use the tubes for side lighting.

Best of luck to you my friend, i'll be watching!

Yo Guy I stop doing this journal but Ill post some pic of what they look like. I only have 2 left, 6 went male. there like 2 weeks away from harvest, the buds arnt that big. There in side now just by a window because its to cooled out.
