Day 1:


Well, It's time. Time to start my first grow. I today started 2 bag seeds, Not sure what are, I was told they are "gods vagina". Yes, I know the pineapple express reference but that's what i was told. Two days ago I actually started one of these seed but I officially think it's dead. Think because of neglect, No watering in a very humid area. I'm hoping for the best out of this grow. But I notice a lot of treads with first grows, so "don't expect a lot".

The grow area is actually a "stealth" box, but it works. I live with the parents and need to be a little low key. The box itself is a 2'9' home theater speaker box. I hallowed out the back of the box and replace it with a particle board. In side i put 2 CFL's off front side of the box over the plant. Both of those lights are 6500k for veg right now. Keep in mind this set-up isn't completely finished. But to go on, I just got the pot in there right now. I have no fans right now, but I've got a PC fan that I'm going to rig up in the box. I was using the Everything d.i.y. tread, and it shows how to rig up a PC fan to a 12v. So I thought it was so "easy", spent 1 hour trying these two fans just to find out I missed something when reading. mine i was using is something like 200ma and the one I need is a 500ma. Ridiculous, now i need to find that adapter so I can have and inlet and exhaust for air flow. She needs to breath in those tight places. If anyone knows were I can pick something like that up please post in this thread. I still need a little bit of money for a few random things, thermometer, ph meter, and to rig up my fans. Don't want my girl to get to hot.

My soil I'm using is some generic soil from menards, a local "everything store". But all in all its really pretty good. The Npk value is something like, 10-5-7 ratio. I'm not 100% on that number but it's close. I'll check more tomorrow, atm I'm typing this up and looking at my baby.

Right now I am germinating with lights on 24/0 hoping for faster growth. Like i said tho the on in the pot right now might be dead. Crossing my fingers. I'll post some pictures tomorrow I am getting a digital camera from a friend. I'll have to admit the box isn't to impressive now but it's coming around. On a side note, I think I'm going to have to LST this bad girl.

No nutrients yet to young! :wink:

Anyway feel free to post in here, I'll try and get some pictures for you to all enjoy.

Time to eat some frozen pizza (heated up of course) and bongsmilie

Day 6:


Lighting : Update! 2 26w 6500k CFL.
Medium : Generic 15-9-8 soil
Nutrients : Nothing yet, Too young.

Alright, So yes, I've been slacking on the journal entries. I'm going to get some pictures up soon. On a lighter side, there has been growth. The 2 of the 3 i germinated popped threw the soil tablet on day 3. Ever since then I've put them under 24 hours of light. I think tomorrow I'm going to bring them from 24/0 to 18/6. I just think they'd want some rest after a week of awesome light. Also upgraded to two CFL's now. The plants themselves are about 3 in. tall with two small sets of leafs. Hopefully, I can get a digital camera soon to allow me to put up some pictures.

Thanks for reading, please feel free to comment on anything on this grow.
