Hello all, im pleased to be growing my first batch:hump:. I would appreciate any feed back no matter how critical. I purchased the feminised big bang seeds as a starter and like most people im trying to grow to a budget.
I germinated two seeds in tissue paper, after 3 days there tails were waggling nicely; I then planted the seeds in some normal everyday compost with about 40% perlite added and watered daily. They are located in a box I built and im no carpenter measuring about 2'x2'x4', inside the box is two 4” computer fans, one for intake and one for exhaust. Im using, 125w Enviorlite for veg and also for flowering (different shade of course), the plants are 13days after seeding. So far everything seems to be going good but like a say im a noobe, so guys and girls what do you think?

When you water them 'daily' do you get runoff every time? It would be more like nature to let them dry a little. You have a good mixture or this would have caused some problems.

Pictures look decent, setup sounds good. May want to see if you can get a small oscillating fan in there.
I am concerned with your watering schedule. Most folks water every three to four days.
Welcome to our forum, hope you enjoy your time with us.VV

good start they do look a little over watered and the stems need to be fatterned up like victorvicious says needs fan to rock them gently lol this will help them to strengthen up

Thanks for the replies. ive just transplanted them into larger pots, and have cut down on the watering, after a bit more reading im going to let the soil get dry and only water every 2 to 3 days, im trying to find a 6" clip on fan, possibley go to ebay fairly cheap on there and then try and find some where to put it lol. will post more photos on a weekly basis as to show the improve/decline of my babies.

Thats what you want to do, constantly try to make improvements. If you can change the height if the box a couple feet you will get better results. 4'-height of pots and room for lights doesn't leave much room for plants. Less than a week more in vegging, twice the yield imo. VV

They went from a plastic coffee size cup into the large pots, trouble was the roots were coming througt the bottom, and the large pots were the only pots available at the time, they seem to be responding quite well. will post some more pics soon:bigjoint:

I Know its only been 3 days but i like to show the progress of my little babies.
If you look close enough you will see the tips of the leafs are going yellow. Could anyone shed any light as to why this is happening.
Im still on the original compost mix with no neuts and only watered once since transplanting from the small pots.
Thanks. Peace.
