This grow has been going on for a month now. We've been running a competition journal here :adrianvasquez1985 Vs Chimpy!!!! - Marijuana Growing
but I just wanted to colaberate everything in one journal. I will post all of my pics to date and add some comments about them as I go.

Thanks.

This is 4/24 The basics: 3 bag seeds, some kind of BC strain that floats into where I am. Got my 3 seeds from my guy. The only seeds that have been found in the supply over the last three months. Soil is a mountain mix out of Idaho, with no nutes, mixed 2:1 soil: perlite. Seedlings were done with black gold seedling mix, however thats the only black gold product my nursery carries, so had to switch brands with the soil for transplant. Using tap water set out and ph'd to 6.3

5/17 You'll notice some yellowing in one of my girls(update 5/24 the yellow one is a girl). I underwatered her. She dried out a bit quicker than I had expected. I came home from work and she was completely wilted. My first reaction was to panick, but then I burned one and thought about it, decided to give her a drink and see what happened, and 15 min later she looked good as new. The next day some of the bottom leaves yellowed, I decided to just let everything roll because the new growth still looks great.
Also started FF nute schedule this week.

Also, I started LST training on 5/18.

5/21 Today I freaked out. One of my plants, on 5-6 leaves started to discolor. I still don't know what this is. It started out with the leaves turning a light green in between the veins on the leaves. I think it was just a little burn, as I hadn't given any straight water between feedings. None of the other two show this at all, and this plant still has a lot of good new growth.

Here you can see the plant with the ICH(as I call it) and one of my healthy ladies. Today the discoloration turned to rust color. I watered with ph'd water before these pics, will go back to nute next watering (prob 5/25). I'm really trying not to freak about this because otherwise the plant looks healthy.

Here are pics of all my girls, setup etc. You can see the LST working well. I've had to pin them down about every other day for the last 5 days. It is neat watching the heads turn and grow. I am hoping to string them all around the pot before I flower. As I am starting to see a few preflowers, the plan may change soon. I believe I have at least one mother. I will have to make some decisions about how this is going to go (Leave as a mother, take clones and flower them, etc. I haven't thought it out real long term...lol. As these are bag seeds, my original plan was to use this round as a test, then order some good un's. We'll have to see.)
PS...my camera sux!!! Close ups are blurry I know and am sorry. The last two pics are of the nice two hairs sticking out of the preflower, wish you could see them...lol

That brings us current to today, 5/24. The last pic of my setup shows the carbon filter set up I built. Works pretty slick. The cab's temp is very dependent on the ambient air, so as it warms up around here I will run my ac machine in this room, which should keep them happy. I appreciate any comments, suggestions, and input. Please remember this is my first grow, and while I have read everything on here I can, I am still a (old) little green nug noob when it comes to growing anything.....lol, however my girls have been growing like a weed of late:mrgreen::joint::peace:

Here's a bunch more pics. I tried to take some of the preflowers, but they're blurry as hell. You can really see the LST in some of these, almost growing across the ground, lol. But they are BUSHY and new growth everywhere!!!
One girl for sure, I suspect that I have another, should be able to tell for sure later today. The third may be a male, but will give it a while to show its true self. I would have been happy with one of my seeds being female, 2 makes me ecstatic, and we can only hope that the third is a girl, I don't want to have to take the knife to any of them. Anyway...the pics:

Ya, filled with activated carbon, and attached to my outake with 3" hose (Using bath fan for ventilation, thats the output size.) The filter fits an 02 up dodge neon I believe. Works good, no smell.

Thanks, I've just picked up a ton from here, expanded as I've went. This hobby is a bad addiction...lol. Once I get my HPS I'll be happy. I may get another cab like I have now, one for veg, one for flower. Anyway, thanks for stoppin bye, and for the comments.

Took some pics, nothing more to add, which is good in my opinion. Glad (Banging on wood as I type this) that I haven't been having to post the WTF!!!!! threads that go on around here...lol. I've veered of the FF schedule, as that is based for 4 weeks veg, and as I plan on going 8, I've taken week three nutes, and in stead of every other, I am at 2 feedings with nutes, 1 without. If I see any signs of the IIIICH, I will back off. 150 HPS will be here on the 4th. :hump::mrgreen:
