SHHH its hiddin (First grow)

Hello every one this is my first grow and grow journal. I am new to this RPG and hope you guys would assist me on my ups and downs.

With that out of the way I have 6 bag seeds from some really good buds i got in the past month or so.

Here are pics of my setup so far.




Far right seed was put in pappertowel sprouted and then put in soil yesterday

2 on the left just put the seeds in there 3 days ago and waiting to see if they sprout.

Lights are on 24/7 should they be during this time or does it even matter right now.

Thanks in advance and hope this goes smooth.

Reason for grow.
About a year ago my girlfriend was diagnosed with epilepsy her seizure medication makes her nashous and she can not eat, only way she has found a way to keep the seizures away and stay hungry is .

Im not able to have a better setup atm. Just trying to get somthing out of this to help.

Not looking for big plants with mad buds im just lookin to grow some short stalky plants with an ok yelid that will keep her set for a while.


Any ways enoph talking now thanks for lookin and enjoy.

COMMENTS ARE MORE THEN WELCOM.

are you going to put a real light in there?
If you are that looks like it will fair very nicely...

I dont really have enoph money for a light atm been a hard month lost my job.

But what els would help? More lights? im going to meshure the box right now and tell you how big it is :X hold on

I think a light would be the number one thing. They really aren't that expensive. Look on craigslist. You could drop a hundred bux and probably get like a 400watter at least. I see people getting rid of lights all day long... Might not have the nicest reflector but in the long run that 1oo dollar investment will make you tenfold in the end. Think about it, if you are going to take the time to do it, do it rite. That is a big enough spot to pull some major nuggage out of...

I dint think it was tall enoph i there to get some good plants :/ postibly is i hope so and a big light would take up so much room in there




17" deep


Could i get some good plants in there and a good light? i think the plants would get way to tall.

If any one could help me find a good light for this size box that would be great. Is there any good lights that are not to big....? sorry i am new to all of this but i am ready and willing to take a seat and listin to what ever help any one has please kick me some info thanks!

How many watts do your cfl's have? I would first make sure that they are at least 23 watts or the equivalent to 100w incandescent. That space is probably is a little small for a metal halide or HPS. The only think I could recommend would be putting more lights in there and also try and get a wider spectrum of light. Once you enter flowering a red spectrum will benefit you more than a blue(which is what you have now). I'm not really sure of many ways you can do that without having an HPS; maybe try some red LED's or something like that. If I were you I would start flowering soon, even though the plants are small, with your setup, flowering soon would probably benefit you because of vertical space and lighting issues. As a general rule, plants will usually double in size once flowering. Overall I think with a few more lights you could come out with a little something to be proud of.

just did some reseach and have dissided to continue with the cfl's going to upgrade to more of them at higher wattage.

1 more seed cracked so its now in soil and under a light awating first sprout from any of them will update if any thing happends

turn your lights on there side get more bang for your buck
and change them out of see thru containers SLOWS the grow hugh

hope you plan on transplanting when they sprout those roots wont like to see light that you have in those 2 cups

Yes going to transplant when they sprout i already have bigger pots waiting.

Going to be moving lights/adding lights tmrw hopefully.

Thanks for comments guys any thing helps i am here to learn.

good luck with your grow

Thanks man hope it goes good i have faith, these are for a good cause so i hope every thing goes smooth also. Thanks agin and any help would be great.

Update***

2 of the seeds have sprouted there above ground now cant fully see them but you can see where there comin out so exited any ways not worth takin pics cam cant pic up how small they are will get more updats asap


laters

Nice start man i like it just take care of the clear pots and a good ventilation what light are you thinking about getting at .HTG

Planning to get this light.


but i dont think it will fitt that well in the box i have for right now..and i think it would be way to hot in there i cant really cut any vents in this box seeing as im renting the room from my parents for the time being.

***update in a few***

****UPDATE day 1 out above soil*****


this is there first FULL day of being out of the soil 2 of them have now sprouted the 3rd one you can almost see its about to sprout.

First off i got 2 more lights will upgrade to bigger cfl's for this grow hopping to upgrade to new light when the time and the money is right.

LIGHTS :

Plant #1 Day #1 :

Plant #2 Day #1 :



They now have cups on them will update when more happends.

nice light man get it when you have the money.

** update befor bed **

added more light what should the light cycle be for right now? i have it on 24/0 when should i start 18/6?

I would start 18/6 after the second week. Let them get some nodes going. You'll see how they speed up when they start getting that rest of 6 hours. Love the setup man.

I'm using a New Wave T5 from Sun System. New Wave T5 Fluorescent Grow Light 2ft 2 Bulb 48W

Works awesome.
