Hey guys and gals of roll it up I am a new grower( one grow under my belt) and I want to see if I have everything right. My first grow I grew with cfls and some pre made soil mix my buddy gave me. Got about half ounce on one plant. For my second grow i bought a 400 watt mh/hps grow light and some fox farm happy frog soil mixed with 1/4 vermiculite. I have been saving some good bag seeds over the years and pick 5 of the best looking ones. (4 sprouted) They are 11 days in and look good. I had some heat problems in the first week but i fixed that. In the next 2 weeks i am going to move to a 3 gallon pot till finish. My question is does everything look like its suppose to? i am hoping on the low end at lease one is female but thats mother nature for ya. Any input would be apprecated. ohhh and i am going to use the fox farm trio nuts but i dont think they need any yet. View attachment 3363080 View attachment 3363083 View attachment 3363085

Just FYI. I believe you are supposed to use lower wattage bulbs when you lower the wattage on your ballast. The bulbs don't fire right or give the correct spectrum if you use a 400w bulb at 50%..Better to just move the light higher from your plants.

Probably not making a huge difference though.. Everything is looking good.

That's the biggest gimmick with electronic ballast... Adjustable outputs. It works but its not giving the bulb enough current for it to create the arc its designed to create when you use it on 75% or 50% power. And if you try to use a lower wattage bulb its much the same, not the right amount of current and/or frequency the bulb was designed to perform at. Just turn it up too 100% and raise/lower your lights accordingly.

Nice, my seedlings are the same size and already STINK more than either parent did. Talking about my own hybrid I made last run (Afghani x Durga Mata II) - I call it "Midinight Nectar" . :-P

That sound freaking amazing. I don't have access where I live to get feminized seed but I do come across some good Bag seeds every now and then I just want to get to the point where I don't have to buy shit lol

I have some good hybrid seeds they came from good buds. The quality where they came from I can tell are good strains but the grower whoever they were did not a good job. I could tell they are good seeds because the bud was light green but not loud because of growing the male and female together...

Hey GG- do you know much about breeding? - How is it possible to have progeny which is stinkier than either parent? I am very happy with them so far, I can see a Lot of the Afghani dad in their growth pattern. 8)

Ok i had to define progeny... lol But to answer your question, im guessing because clones though theyre cuttings and need the same affection as a seedling are still mature in its life because it is from a matyre mother you know what i mean. So eventhough it is vulnerable as a seedling it is still a mature plant.

My apologies, i was in a stupor of sleep... But that my friend is the heat. The "folding of leaves" means it too hot. I open my tent and spray them ONLY in veg with simply water to cool them and relieve them of heat stress. But if your in Flower, simply get some cool air if possible on the ladies. Just dawned on me your vegging..lol Im still half sleep...
