First grow - open to all kinda comments

Hello everyone!

I believe I have done a lot of reading online/books and I believe I am ready to give a try. This will be my first grow ever and I am open to all comments.

Currently under 2 x 45w 6500k CFL 24/0. 26c (79F) temp, a 12v computer fan blowing on the plant and circulating air inside.
Have 1 more 45w 6500k CFL and 2 x 60w 2700k for later on.

The little gal is 6 days old from the seed and in her final pot. Osiris from Pyramid seeds.
Other ladies laying under the soil in the plastic cups are Fast Haze, auto fems from AC Genetics and 2 days old. Germinated using the paper towel method a day and a half ago first and planted in to the cups 3 hours ago.

Actual plan was to grow only one Fast Haze but realized that I have mistakenly germinated the wrong seed a bit late.
What should I do when it is time for Osiris to flower as I have two autos and I want to keep 24/0 cycle?

Welcome....That's a tuff call if the space is limited..I read somewhere about the autos are good on 18/6 ..Other than you seperating them ..You may have to let the auto's ride on the same light period as the Osiris ..Maybe someone else has a better idea..This is just a thought...Good growing...

I guess I will put the Osiris in a separate room for flowering while keeping autos on 18/6 or 24/0.

Osiris on 8th day and Fast Haze on day 4 from seed.

If you dont let them sleep, 18/6, they wont grow. All living things need to sleep to grow. Go with 18/6 until time to flower than go 12/12

A perfect example is every seed I sprouted, vegie or weed or tree, pops out overnight after the dark period.

I might be completely wrong, but doesn't in Ed Rosenthal say that marijuana is able to grow under 24/0 in his book Marijuana Grower's Handbook?

I believe this is true but I dont think its the most efficient way... and yield does not increase as far as im aware

Okay they are on 20/4 now and move Fast Haze to her permanent pot.
Osiris on 9th day and Fast Haze on day 5th from seed.

Day 18 from seed, Osiris. Isn't it so short? about 10-12cm.


Day 13 from seed, Fast Haze.

Looking good as far as I can see. Subscribed

Looks good, you should only need to move to a 12/12 on a non-auto strain. 20/4 might be another option.

Fast Haze 19th day from seed. Have white pistils all over


Osiris -day 25 from seed.


Had to switch to 12/12 even there is an auto as I dont have anymore space to grow them separately.

How much vertical space do you have? It will be interesting to see how the auto responds to that, keep us updated. Did you top or fim these?

Off Topic a bit....
I was thinking of a low vertical clearance SOG grow, where the first station clones (10-20), second station vegetates to about 18", then the third station on 12/12 sexing and flower (no autos) to it's final (limited) height and harvest. I am thinking Training and Fimming to control size, light penetration and volume of bud sites. The idea being to flower them early to reduce size and yield, but increase the number of plants to compensate.

Neither topped nor fimmed. The growing space is about 1,5m tall, I guess it makes 5 feet!?

Fast Haze - day 25 from seed


Osiris - day 31 from seed

looks pretty good. subed and repped+

Fast Haze - day 30 from seed




Osiris - day 36 from seed

good job man, those look so healthy. might could trans to a larger pot and get a little more volume, soil looks great from here.

I don't have any more space in the cabinet so I will keep the pots.

Fast Haze (auto) - day 42 from seed


Osiris - day 48 from seed

Those are looking good man what notes you using?
