My First Grow.. Lookin for some comments or help!

So recently me and my buddy thought about the idea of growing. Basically our habits of smoking cost crazy amounts and we thought about what we could do with all the money we spend on weed... but we still gotta keep blazin haha so why not grow our own smoke?

anyways long story short i ended up buying a pack of 10 Master Kush seeds from nirvana seeds, as well as an AeroGarden:leaf:. I was kinda skeptical about the AeroGarden at first, but from what I read on forums it seemed that peoples only problem with them was that the light doesn't go up very high. But i was able to solve this by purchasing a special version of the AeroGarden called the "VeggiePro" which has a larger base and also the arm on the light extends to about 3 feet.

The Aerogarden has 6 pods to grow plants in, but I am only using 4, one for each corner of the base, so that the plants will have more room when they get big.

My plants are now 11 days old. However, I replaced one of the pods with a new seed because the one that sprouted in it seemed very weak. The new seedling is now 3 days old and has begun sprouting. I also made this one a little different because I decided to use a seed from the bag of free seeds that came with my Master Kush Seeds.

So, to sum everything up I now have 4 baby plants in my aerogarden. 3 which have sprouted and have leaves (master kush strain), that are 11 days old. And one which has just started to push off the ground (unknown strain), that is 3 days old.

Basically there are two reasons i decided to make this forum. One is that since I really want a place that I can document the growth of my plants and learn from my experiences to help me with future grows. And Two is that I honestly really have no clue what I'm doing so I would really appreciate any advice or comments that anybody has.

I'm completely new to this and all I have had to help me learn is forums like this and also I purchased a copy of Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible by Jorge Cervantes. These are my only resources so if you have time to follow my progress and help me out please do!

I have been taking pictures since the beginning of growing plants and will post them on here for you all to see. Not the best quality, taken from my iPhone... but hopefully enough that you can tell me if everything looks good! :bigjoint:

I'll put them in 4 different posts, one for each plant. Plant #1 will be the plant in the top left corner of the AeroGarden, and then we will go to 2, 3, and 4 in a counter clockwise direction around the AeroGarden. In this post i'll put pictures i've taken of the aerogarden as a whole.

Here's some pics of Plant #2... please take a look at this one because im kinda worried about it. This one hasn't been able to push itself off the ground as easily as the others. I had to help it up, it seems to be getting stronger... but as you can see in the pic the stem is very thin and weak towards the bottom

first pic was taken on day 8

and second pic was taken today, and shows what im worried about with the stem

This plant is a bit behind... the first seed i put in there didn't seem to start off very well so on 1/23 i put a new seed in there. This one is also the only plant thats not Master Kush. Nirvana sent me a free pack of seeds with my Master Kush and I used one of those seeds for this one.

The first picture just shows the seed in the pod on the first day 1/23/2010

the second picture shows it beginning to sprout today, 1/26/2010

ok all the pics are up... sorry for so much information all at once... just had to put up everything ive got since i began this about a week and a half ago.

by the way not sure why my pics are uploading sideways... theyre the right orientation on my computer so im not sure how to fix it.

ill keep posting and i hope some of you run across this and can help me out!! thanks in advance
 
so bad news... i really need help.. i really hope someone finds this thread!

the other day my plants were really yellow and from reading this book i bought i thought that it was a sign that they werent getting enough nitrogen. I bought some fertilizer and put in the recommended dose 2 days ago.

at first it seemed to be helping them but then today i looked at the plants and they are even more yellow and now i see some brown as well and the edges of the leaves are starting to curl.....

i was really freaked out so i changed the water and did not put any fertilzer in it.....

ill put pics up later but havent gotten to take any yet cuz im in class right now!

You may have killed them already. You don't want to nute your seedlings. Look at the newbie section, read up and start your grow in a grow medium with cfl's. This is the best way to go especailly if you are on a buget.

Good Luck.

yea i was wonderin if it might be a better idea to just start over since im only 2 weeks in as of tmr and still have plenty of seeds.... but if the plants will make it id rather do that.

heres some pics let me know what you think!
