Second time grower, first time Indoor. Here we grow!

This is the very beginning of my journal for my very first indoor grow. My very first grow was done outdoors over this past summer, and now I am looking forward to the opportunities that can be gained using an indoor grow space. So while I'm not entirely new to growing this well be a new experience for me.

A summary of some specs on the grow:
Using a tent 2'x2' and 5' tall
My main source of light will be a 240W LED panel supplemented with a 90W LED UFO and two tertiary 12W Red (Bloom) LED bulbs
Currently though the clones are under 150W of CFLs until they are more established

I have 6 clones now under the CFL lighting, they are less than 3 days old.
3 of the clones are a G-13xA7-47 cross and the other 3 are Blue Cheese, all girls of course
They are currently in black gold soil and Aloe Vera gel was used to encourage rooting
The grow will be entirely organic and soil based

Some photos from the first day

Cool I'm subbed any updates?

Apologies for the long wait for an update. Of the 6 clones I started I have chosen 4 to bring along to maturity. I have a mix of 3 Blue Cheese plants and then 1 G13xAK-47 cross.

They've been transplanted into new 2 gallon cloth pots with a super soil mix at the bottom half of the pots.
It's been a few days now since they were transplanted and they seem to be sturdy and happy.

Today I lowered the LEDs they're now a little more than a foot above the tops of my plants. Since they were taking well to the transplant I decided to start LST the clones today.

Here's some before and after pics

looking good any more updates?

My girls are now in the middle of their 4th week since being cloned.

I've got one photo for this update. It was taken a few days ago now, at the beginning of week 4.

Well I decided to do some LST today, they really do seem to have taken a liking to be treated roughly.

Hey those girls are looking behaving well.

Keep up the good work

I've got another photo update post, now they're in the middle of Week 6 Veg. Considering switching the lights in the next 2 weeks.

First a pic with the LEDs on


The Second photo for their true color


I think that they seem to be doing very well

Nice canopy! Well Done!

any updates?

I've got some updates for the beginning of Week 8. Now I've changed some things up with my setup, I swapped the 150W of CFLs I had with the LED Panel and UFO for Red LED Bloom bulbs. The difference can easily be seen in the fact I can't take a photo with true color, you'll see in one second.

I finally hooked up my Carbon Filter to my exhaust fan which is another change I've made. And the final change which I put into effect today was to switch the lights to 12/12. So today was the first day of 12 hours of darkness for my girls -- so flowering begins today.

Here's some photo updates!

First some shots of all lights turned on


Then there's shots of only the Red LED on


Finally for some under canopy shots, one with all lights on, one with only Red LEDs on.

looks nice in there, what is total watt draw of those LEDS?

they are looking great the babes. be sure when they are done to post some pics of the cured bud!

First off I'd like to apologize for the large delay between my posts.

But because of how much time has passed, the girls have gone through a lot of changes since you've all last seen them. I decided to flip the light cycle 13 days ago. So in this update I've got some shots of Day 12 Flower (taken last night)

looks great, must be some hella organic soil you got there, how tall are they and how many colas?

DankSwag

Just a small photo update. The shots were taken 2 days ago on 4-20 which was the beginning of Week 3 Flower for them or Day 21 of Flower

Very nice impressive, all you've done is water correct?

So can't wait to see the next update, it has been a few weeks now, show us your girly girls, want to see if they are busting out.
