I would like to start a Journal of this little grow im doing.

I have grown outside a bit but this is only my 3rd indoor grow.
The first two went good but some tips and advice would be great.
Cheers

Just general advice really.
My yield was not that spectacular though it smoked lovely.
I had a few problems with the last grows(Pests mainly)
I have new equipment/Nutes this time that i dont know that much about.
As i say i am quite new to indoor growing.

Are you gonna grow in soil, hydroponics, or aeroponics? Are you gonna use hps/mh, cfl, or t5 lighting. I am more than happy to try to help you out, but I need to know your setup and the nutes you plan to use. If you follow the link in my signature you'll see I listed evrything I planned to use. If you want help that's the best way to get it. People here will give you tons of info, you just gotta give a little info first. Happy 420

This time im only growing the one plant,Blue Cheese(a cutting i took from my last grow)
I am using All-Mix soil with a 20% perlite addition and feeding with Bio-Grow at 2ml per litre.
She is currently 2 weeks into veg.
I am vegging using 125 cfl blue,I also own a 400w hid but i am trying to keep temps down and have found the plant to be loving the fluro.photo(9).JPGphoto(6).JPGphoto(7).JPG

Thanks Man!
Like i said its loving the cfl even more it seems than the 400w hid.
At the moment i intend to put it under the 400w for flower but may well invest in a 200w cfl and see how that goes.

If you have the ballast a 400w hps would be the way to go for flowering. Though your plants are loving cfls now they'll give you a much larger yield with an hps. Alot of people use cfls for vegging and switch over. My first few grows were all cfl grows and got o.k. yields then added an hps my last grow and was amazed at the difference.

My last two grows were done start to finish with the 400w and i was pleased with the results.
Do either of you guys know anything about using Bat Guano during veg?
I usually add it during flower but have heard its a great soil conditioner.

Woke up this morning to find one of the lower leaves has spider mite!
I have neem at hand from having this problem before.
I have a very clean sealed little space and i havent a clue how they have got in. :(

Thanks Mate.
I am suprised myself.
It really is vegging as good as it did under a 400w.
You can keep perfect temps due to low heat output.

I flushed it this morning with Canna flush as i suspect it may be a nutrient problem but not completely sure.
Any advice would be appreciated.
