Tent: 4x2x5
Lights: 400w w/ digital ballast + wing reflector MH + HPS bulb
Fans: 4" line fan w/ ducting + carbon filter, still need 6 inch for inside
Container: PVC bags 3 gal
Nutes: humboult oneness one part
Strain: (2) Blue Dream and (1) Nevil's Abusive Wreck. 3 total all clones
Soil: Coco

I have tried to grow before but it was never with this type of equipment so it pretty much failed. I live in Colorado and have a red card so I decided to invest into a proper system. I hope to create some wonderful buds like I see across the forums here. Any comments or advice is greatly appreciated. Pics will be coming and hopefully coming often.

Sounds like we got the same set up pretty almost. Hoping this turns out well. I accidentally posted this journal twice sorry about that everyone.

Looks very nice. The ballast that close to the plants is a bad idea, will cause extra heat and it could get water on it as well.

Day four update:

all three plants are perking up really nice. Still yellowish but they were when I got them. I gave them each about 12 oz of water each yesterday that had 1ml of nutes to the gallons. There was a half gallon left after feeling. Sould they get nutes this early? I'm following the chart but it seems like I might have burned the tips some. At advice or comments?

Pretty excited I just picked up a girls out cookies clone. The guy said it was the " thin mint cut" straight from northern Cali. Hope he was telling the truth. I have heard great things about this lady.

image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgWeek one update:

transplanted the Girl Scout cookie today into a 3 gallon bag today. Gave water to all four of them. Should I have the luminosity on the ballast at 100% or 75% for right now? Put in a six inch clip on fan today to help with temps. The two blue dreams and the abusive wreck still look yellowish and the tips looked my little burned. I'm wondering should I just give water to them for now or being in coco should I till give them nutes. The Girl Scout cookie had great roots when I planted her so I'm hoping for big things from her. Moved lights down about five inches. Any advice or comments from the viewing party?

Nice setup you got going on there. For humidity, you can pick up a humidifier on craigslist for pretty cheap. Or Walmart if you want a new one. I have an A/C to cool my room and that helps with humidity a lot. Pretty constant at 60. I use a small humidifier at night so it doesn't get too cold.

Been a good couple of week since my last update. Been super busy. Plants have kept me on my toes. Basically I'm in week five of veg. Had some issues, and still do. I have actually changed out two plants now also. I have one GSC, one blue dream, one blue goo, and one Maui dream.

Switched to the 400w HPS and went to 12/12 today. Everything seems to be going ok. Hopefully in 60-70 days it will be harvest time.

I think the girls look good, some old damage on the bottom. Have been trying to pin down the ph to around 5.5-6. Gave a feeding of nutes yesterday. Next feeding I was planning on using clear-ex to help flush out the salts. Anyone else use this stuff or ever heard of vermaplex?




i have no idea how to get the pics right side up. They upload correctly from the iPad then when they load, boom, all messed up.anyone got advice on the issue?

Check the ladies after fishing this morning and I believe the light was to close. Some of the fan leaves tips were crispy and the outer edges of the leaves were starting to roll up a lil bit. Moved the lights up and hope for the better. Other wise I think they look pretty good. Ill put pics up later. Tomorrow is the start of week 2 flower.

Tooks some pics yesterday. The ladies are now in week two of flower and are getting pretty big. I defied distal led water with clear-ex. Ph was around 6. Before I fed I noticed some leaves rolling up and tips turning crispy, so I moved the lights up some. Hope this helps. I also noticed today what looked to be some pre flower pistols. Getting excited to watch these ladies get big.

i need to give a boost of cal/mag on the next feed.

any advice or comments would really help a newbie grower.
